Introduction: first, there is a broad prospect for snake farming After entering WTO, it will continue to be popular At present, developing snake farming has become a reliable way for people to become rich It was learned from the information exchange meeting of special breeding held by relevant departments that in recent years, special animals have become popular in the north and south of the river because of their low investment and quick effect, while snakes are favored by consumers at home and abroad because of their unique nutritional and health care value or stable effect, which leads to the shortage of market goods and high price, and at the same time, it greatly stimulates the breeding enthusiasm of farmers, and the Snake breeding industry is enduring After China's accession to the WTO, there will be a greater opportunity for the development of Snake breeding industry That is to say, the independent right of sale of special breeding products (at present, snakes belong to the control industry) will be improved more reasonably China can enjoy equal trade treatment of the existing members of the WTO (134 countries) The government will implement effective macro-control on import and export trade, the cost of circulation channels will be greatly reduced, and the breeding industry will be greatly improved The sale right of the market (household) will be consolidated At the same time, our country is rich in natural snake resources, so it is not likely to be impacted by foreign products Therefore, the existing domestic snake farms (households) should seize the opportunity, at that time, the huge foreign consumer market will bring greater market to this industry, and the snake market has become a foregone conclusion 2 There are about 3000 kinds of snakes in the world, most of which are non-toxic There are only 650 kinds of poisonous snakes According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, "snakes are sweet, salty and warm in nature They enter the liver channel and cure all kinds of wind, tetany and scabies." It can be used in rheumatic pain, numbness of hands and feet, eczema, facial sores, acne, dermatitis, prickly heat, pruritus and other skin diseases The whole body of a snake is treasure Snake slough can be used as medicine to treat ulcers and persistent skin diseases; snake gall has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and brightening eyes; snake venom can treat sciatica, rheumatism and osteodynia, cerebral thrombosis and coronary heart disease, etc., and there is no side effect of oral snake venom; snake leather products are widely used for export; snake oil is used for cosmetics skin care and beauty; the delicious taste of snake meat was enjoyed by southern people early, and now it is also accepted by northern people The pure snake powder contains more than 20 kinds of amino acids and more than 20 kinds of elements and minerals such as zinc, iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc., especially the nutrients with extensive physiological, pharmacological and health care functions, taurine content is as high as 4.5%, calcium content is 6.13%, phosphorus content is 3.33%, zinc and iron content are 200 micrograms and 443 micrograms per gram respectively, It can fully regulate and supplement the human nervous system, endocrine system and immune system It has the functions of clearing away heat and toxin, eliminating inflammation and itching, relieving pain and removing heat, removing spots and skin care It has a good auxiliary effect on those who are not suitable for skin, such as acne, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, pruritus, chloasma, facial sores, acne, eczema, etc The whip is the reproductive organ of the male snake, which has two mating organs The snake copulates for more than 36 hours, and the sperm can survive in the female snake for 3 years The tonifying effect of snake whip is 10% higher than that of deer whip Snake whip powder has significant effect on sexual insufficiency and sexual function decline Third, the economic benefits of Snake breeding artificial breeding and reproduction of snakes is a new way to develop and utilize snake resources and make a fortune In this way, it can not only meet the increasing demand of domestic and foreign markets for snakes, but also get rid of poverty and become rich At the same time, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon of excessive hunting and killing, which plays a crucial role in protecting snakes and preventing the destruction of the ecological balance of nature At present, the government departments in many parts of the country, while developing high-yield and efficient agriculture, actively and profitably mobilize the masses to engage in courtyard special breeding industry, and make use of the front and back of houses or potholes and wasteland to engage in special breeding, and take Snake breeding as a way to get rich, thus a large number of leaders have emerged For example, a professional snake farmer in Lanxi City, Jianjiang province started to raise snakes in 1990, raising 15000 snakes each year, with an economic income of 150000 yuan There are also many successful cases of raising snakes in the north For example, Gu Xueling, a peasant woman known as "snake keeping woman makeup yuan" and the snake king of Beicheng snake garden in Qingzhou City, Shandong Province, started to raise snakes in 1992 During the practice of raising snakes for many years, she created unique ways of raising snakes, such as underground snake nest and multi-layer three-dimensional underground snake house, which promoted the development of snake industry She raised more than 10000 snakes and attracted guests from 29 provinces and autonomous regions to visit and learn from them Gu Xueling's 193000 word book "Snake breeding and snake product processing" has been officially published by Beijing Science and Technology Literature Press Snake experts analyze and predict that the Snake breeding industry will present an unprecedented new situation in the past 10 years It is urgent to explore scientific and artificial Snake breeding for the deep development of various snake products In addition, Snake breeding businesses are generally optimistic Experts also asserted that the snake industry in the next few years will be a golden age involving the whole country, in-depth development, large-scale breeding, comprehensive processing and export to earn foreign exchange IV the four seasons management snake is a variable temperature animal, and its temperature changes with the rise and fall of the ambient temperature How to manage the snake farm well in the four seasons of the year should pay attention to the following four points: first, spring The most suitable species for breeding is introduced in spring, so it is not necessary to worry about the cold or hot weather during transportation, and the breeding will soon enter the stage of spawning or giving birth Before putting the snake into the snake farm, it should be cleaned and disinfected in advance The newly emerged snake basically does not eat in 2-3 weeks, and only eats a small amount of food in April The second is summer Summer is the main mating and breeding season of snakes, and it is also the peak season of hunting, activity and growth Six aspects should be done well: first, take good care of the female snake, collect the snake eggs in time, and make preparations for reproduction and hatching; second, separate the female snake and the male snake for monoculture, and ensure the sufficiency and diversification of food; third, carefully observe the laying female snake, if it is 3-4 cm away from the cloaca When there are eggs in the rice, they can lay eggs in about one week; fourthly, protect the eggs of snakes to hatch the young snakes smoothly; fifthly, keep the snake farm clean and dry, pay attention to heatstroke prevention, cooling and ventilation; sixthly, remove the feces in time, and take out the dead animals that can't finish eating in time to prevent the invasion of bacteria Third, autumn Autumn is the peak season for snakes to eat There is a large amount of fat in the body of snakes, which can be used for overwintering and the early stage of next year's hibernation As the saying goes, "when the autumn wind blows, the snake is fat." At this time, some snakes with small food consumption should be fed manually to make them live through the winter safely, or killed and sold directly Fourth, winter The temperature and humidity of the snake farm should be checked regularly in winter, and should not be too high or too low The sick snake should be isolated or eliminated in time to prevent infection and the whole group Winter is the season with the highest snake price on the market, which is 2-3 times higher than usual We can seize the opportunity and sell selectively 5 Some problems that should be paid special attention to in artificial Snake breeding: due to the sharp rise of snake market price, the national Snake breeding fever is on the rise Therefore, it is suggested that farmers who want to raise snakes should pay special attention to the following issues 1 It should have the conditions to raise snakes Snake farming is limited to suburbs or rural areas, but not in cities, because of the noise and serious environmental pollution In addition, there should be abundant small animal resources in the local area, preferably near the river, reservoir area, pond, paddy field and with good water conservancy conditions 2 Do a good job in market investigation and master breeding technology If we want to raise snakes well, we must have a set of excellent techniques for raising snakes, building farms and treating diseases It is suggested that you go to the snake farm which has been registered by the local authorities and has been keeping snakes for many years and has a good reputation to learn and introduce snakes 3 Selection criteria of species It is better to have a certain body length, strong and lively, ferocious and spiritual, full-bodied muscles, bright and bright skin patterns (except before snake molting), and no disease or injury Introduce from the snake farm with breeding scale, and put an end to the inferior snake species with unreasonable male and female collocation 4 The best season for introduction In spring and autumn, the best season for introduction is not to worry about too cold or too hot weather during transportation After introduction in spring, the breeding will soon enter the stage of laying eggs or giving birth, which is particularly suitable for the first breeders Introduction in autumn is also a good season, because autumn is the peak season for snakes to eat, and the body is also the strongest time of the year The snake breeders who are a little far away can introduce snake species in this season 5 It is suitable for the first time to raise the half snake (young snake) Because the half snake is better than the small snake in growth, disease resistance and food, it can adapt quickly in the new living environment, which is incomparable to the small snake In addition, it can lay eggs or give birth to young snakes soon after breeding 6 The investment shall be based on the actual situation and the individual's economic capacity We should do what we can, from small to large, in the form of snowball, and strive for development and growth in stability We should never be fat at a stutter 7 Build a snake farm according to local conditions This is the key to the success of Snake breeding Snake is a kind of negative animal It likes to be cool and damp, and is afraid of being dry and cold To make snakes live in a "satisfactory" environment all the year round, it is necessary for snake breeders to design an ecological snake farm imitating nature and wild based on the local environment and climate Only by doing this can good economic benefits be obtained 8 It is the way for successful snake breeders to develop from a single breed to a multi breed snake farm It is easy to master the technique of raising snake in a single breed because it is in the stage of trial breeding at the beginning Once the trial is successful, different grades of snake species will be introduced gradually 9 Introduce a kind of "multi-storey three-dimensional underground snake house" which is suitable for North and south This is created by Gu Xueling, snake garden, Beicheng, Qingzhou City, Shandong Province As we all know, although snakes have common habits, each kind of snake has its own habits, that is, it needs different cave temperature According to the different habits of snakes, Gu Xueling summed up the experience of snake raising for many years, and exploited the essence of snake raising everywhere, and designed a multi-storey underground snake house It not only reduced the occupied area of land, but also saved a lot of funds for building the field, and solved the problem of snakes being afraid of heat in summer and nowhere to hide, and nowhere to hide in winter hibernation It also creates favorable conditions for the storage of live snakes in winter and the listing of live snakes at any time This snake room is not only suitable for the cold north, but also suitable for the rainy and hot south It has created a natural "summer resort" for the snake, and solved the problem of fat loss and a large number of deaths caused by the fear of heat and not eating Because the underground snake house is multi-level (9-11 floors), it provides different levels of temperature space for the mixed breeding of meat snakes Snakes can freely choose their own suitable "layer" 6 Prevention and control of common diseases in artificial Snake breeding 1 Black mould This is a common skin disease of snakes caused by mould The disease often occurs in Meiyu season The scales on the abdomen of the snake produce black spots, which extend to the back and spread to the whole body If it is not treated in time, it can lead to death within a few days 1-2% tincture of iodine can be applied to the affected area for 1-2 times a day Take acetazolamide tablets orally, 3 times a day, 2 tablets (1g) each time, the curative effect is very good 2 Acute pneumonia It is a common disease of snakes In the early stage, it is caused by a cold It is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate The sick snake often stays outside its nest, has a mouth that is not closed, has difficulty breathing, does not drink or eat, and is unwilling to move, which often endangers life Once the sick snake is found, it shall be isolated immediately, and the nursing shall be strengthened to avoid cold and keep warm, and the nest shall be thoroughly disinfected, and the bedding and sand in the nest shall be replaced in time
