Novel captive wild animal management method

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel captive wild animal management method. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that (1) a fermentation bed and/or a padding layer is laid, specifically, the padding layer or the fermentation bed consisting of pine bark and probiotics is laid on the indoor ground and/or the outdoor ground of an animal cage or a show window type exhibition house,or the padding layer is combined with pseudo-ecological garden landscaping to simulate the natural habitat environment of animals; (2) daily management is carried out, specifically, the cage or the show window type exhibition house does not need to be cleaned every day; and (3) disinfection is carried out, specifically, regular conventional disinfection of the animal cage or the show window typeexhibition house is not needed. According to the management method, a more natural and comfortable living environment is provided for animals, expression of natural behaviors of the animals is facilitated, microbial communities in the living environment of the animals are enriched, the daily operation process is simplified, the disinfection frequency of animal cages is reduced, the daily management process is simplified, a certain adjusting effect is achieved on the indoor temperature and humidity environment, and animal welfare and the health level are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wild animal management, in particular to a novel captive wild animal management method. Background technique [0002] The basic structure of animal cages in domestic zoos and other wild animal breeding units includes: (1) Inner rooms or indoor exhibition halls: basically concrete floors or other similar hard floors; (2) Outdoor playgrounds: mainly mud, concrete The ground or other similar hard grounds, or sand on the aforementioned grounds, in recent years, more and more wild animal cages have been planted with lawns or other plants or added with pseudo-ecological landscapes such as pools and waterfalls. [0003] According to the industry standard of the People's Republic of China "Zoo Management Regulations" (CJJ / T 263-2017), zoos should formulate animal feeding operating procedures, animal sanitation and disinfection operating procedures and other normative requirements. Daily management includes: (1) Cleaning t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. Animal cages in zoos are greatly affected by the climate. The surface temperature in winter is low, and the humidity is too high in wet weather. Especially after cleaning the ground, it is not easy to dry, and the climate is too dry, which also affects the comfort of animals.

[0006] 2. The texture of the concrete floor is too hard, and the surface is either too rough or too smooth, which is easy to hurt the animal's foot pads and joints

[0007] 3. In order to ensure the health of animals and the cleanliness of the breeding environment, it is necessary to clean the animal cages every day, wash the ground with water, and blow off the ground water with a fan, which not only consumes labor and water resources, but also the ground water is not easy to dry and easy to breed mold or other pathogenic microorganisms, especially in the warm and humid climate of the south

[0008] 4. Cleaning the mud is easy to generate dust, and it is easy to cause muddy ground during the rainy season; the sand does not absorb water, and the heat radiation is large in summer; the grass solves the above problems to a certain extent, but it is easily affected by the microclimate of the cage or destroyed by animals. It is difficult to grow lawn or other plants in animal cages; and when the green plants are too lush, it will also block ventilation

[0009] 5. In order to prevent animal diseases, the traditional method is to frequently disinfect animal cages, which not only kills harmful microorganisms in the cage environment, but also kills beneficial microorganisms in the living environment of animals, indirectly affecting animal health. Microflora in the body, which in turn adversely affects the immune function of the animal

However, the management of wild animals in captivity in zoos is fundamentally different from animal husbandry production
