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

Embodiment 1

[0053] Embodiment 1 (Francis Langur cage house)

[0054] The Francois langur cage in Guangzhou Zoo is divided into two parts: the indoor room and the outdoor sports field, where a pair of adult monkeys and their three juvenile offspring were raised. Among them, the inner room is about 7 square meters, with two doors leading to the outdoor sports field and the staff passage respectively. The inner room floor is a concrete structure (such as figure 2 ), the ground has a certain slope, and there is a sewer (i.e. drainage facility) in the lower corner of the inner room; the outdoor sports field is about 100 square meters, and there are two doors leading to the inner room and the staff passage respectively. The ground of the sports ground has a natural slope, At the lower end, there is a drainage ditch with a fence (that is, drainage facilities). The original ground is mud and sand, and there are a small amount of green plants.

Embodiment 2

[0074] Embodiment 2 (Francis langur cage house)

[0075] The Francois langur cage house adjacent to Example 1 has an interior area of ​​about 7 square meters and an outdoor playground area of ​​about 80 square meters, and raises 2 subadult Francois langurs.

[0076] The difference from Example 1 is that the inner chamber is not covered with a fermentation bed, and the inner chamber is cleaned, rinsed, and sterilized as usual in management every day, and the others are the same as in Embodiment 1.

Embodiment 3

[0077] Embodiment 3 (squirrel monkey cage)

[0078] The indoor area is about 6 square meters, and the outdoor playground area is about 80 square meters. Eleven squirrel monkeys (2 males, 7 females and 2 subadults) are raised.

[0079] The difference from Example 1 is that the inner chamber is not covered with a fermentation bed, and the inner chamber is cleaned, rinsed, and sterilized as usual in management every day, and the others are the same as in Embodiment 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a new method for managing wild animals in captivity, which is characterized in that: (1) laying a fermentation bed and / or a bedding layer: on the indoor ground and / or outdoor ground of an animal cage, or a window-type exhibition house A bedding layer or a fermentation bed composed of pine bark and probiotics, or, combining the bedding layer with a pseudo-ecological landscaping to simulate the natural habitat of animals; (2) Daily management: no need to clean cages or window-style exhibition houses every day ; (3) Disinfection: There is no need for regular routine disinfection of animal cages or window-style exhibition houses. The management method of the present invention provides animals with a more natural and comfortable living environment, helps to express the natural behavior of animals, enriches the microbial community in the living environment of animals, and simplifies the daily operation process, reducing the cost of animal cages. The frequency of disinfection simplifies the daily management process, has a certain adjustment effect on the indoor temperature and humidity environment, and improves the welfare and health of animals.

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...
