Tibetan Mastiff (certain introduction)
For a puppy, the quality of its care during childhood is related to the development of the dog's life. Tibetan Mastiff puppies grow and develop at different times, and the growth capabilities of various parts of the body are also unbalanced. Puppies before 3 months of age should mainly reduce body weight and body weight; from 4 months to 6 months of age, the body length should be mainly reduced; after 7 months of age, body height should be mainly reduced. Since puppies leave their mothers and enter independent life, they need to be provided with sufficient and rich nutrients in all stages of growth and development. Let’s take a look at the nutritional needs of Tibetan Mastiff puppies at each stage!
1. Regarding nutritional requirements
2 to 3 months old Tibetan mastiffs
Feed 4 to 5 times a day. The dietary formula for each animal is 200 grams of lean meat, 300 grams of milk, 1 egg, 200 grams of rice, 200 grams of vegetables, 2.5 grams of salt, and is supplemented with appropriate amounts of vitamin D, calcium and cod liver oil.
The food intake of 4 to 8-month-old Tibetan Mastiffs
gradually increases, and the daily ration should also be correspondingly reduced, and the feeding frequency should be 3 to 4 times a day. The dietary formula is 250-300 grams of lean meat, 300-500 grams of milk, 1 egg, 250-500 grams of rice, 250-300 grams of vegetables, 3-5 grams of salt, and is suitable for adding cod liver oil, bone meal and trace elements. You can feed some animal cartilage, but don't feed chicken bones and raw fish bones. Tibetan Mastiffs are bred into large dogs after 8 years of age, and are fed the same as adult dogs (the above dietary standards refer to puppies of large dogs).
2. In terms of breeding and control
The requirements for breeding Tibetan mastiffs are much higher than those for adult dogs. It is necessary to prevent a small number of Tibetan mastiffs from overeating and Overeating will cause the rest of the Tibetan Mastiffs to eat less or not eat as much as they should. We must be more serious about the preparation of feed, maintain high quality and freshness, adhere to hygiene, and feed them freshly prepared.
The digestion effect of newly weaned Tibetan Mastiffs is weak. The food they feed at the beginning should not be too large. They should feed more cooked (processed) feed. Feeding them too early will cause the bones to become brittle and hard. Food and frozen food will affect its growth. The newly weaned Tibetan Mastiff still eats 70% to 80% lessThat’s it, don’t overeat. The degree of hunger pangs can be judged from the puppy's eating behavior: if the puppy eats quickly and swallows in large mouths, it indicates a good appetite. After eating, there is still a surplus of feed in the food plate, which proves that the dog has been fed too much and may have overeaten. If the food in the food plate has been eaten and the dog is still licking the food plate and looking at the owner, it proves that it has not eaten yet.
If you raise a dog, it is easy for the dog to become partial or picky about food. To prevent this situation, all the food that should be fed can be fully mixed into mixed feed, fed on time, and the food plate is taken away when not feeding. However, the drinking water basin should always maintain a water supply.
