Description
A book “Chinchillas Step by Step” Author W. Grudzień
More and more chinchilla farms are being set up in Poland. People starting a breeding farm often do not have appropriate knowledge, which results in a low rearing rate and makes the production unprofitable – after some time, such breeders become discouraged, liquidate their farms and lose the money they invested.
A chinchilla farm can be highly profitable, but it requires patience, knowledge regarding suitable zoohygienic and feeding conditions, and providing chinchillas with stress-free living conditions.
Therefore, the book is an ideal solution for those who are determined to enter the fur market – apart from information on the above-mentioned issues, it will also provide a reader with essential knowledge to set up a farm, i.e. selecting a place, necessary equipment and purchasing animals. It also includes information which help start a farm officially and a guide for keeping zootechnical documentation. There are also information regarding reproduction, rearing, slaughtering and skinning.
Thus, the book is a perfect guide, both for those who start breeding chinchillas and those who already have their own farm, but would like to improve its profitability. ”
