Poor nutrition is one of the reasons that causes dogs to go into heat very often
Most dogs will be in estrus normally during the estrus season, but some dogs will also be in estrus or not in estrus due to various reasons. The reasons leading to this phenomenon are quite diverse, and a very important reason is the lack of nutrients. Many owners feel that the lack of certain nutrients will not have much effect on dogs. However, it is often the case that such a small deficiency can cause very serious consequences, so it is very important to pay attention to the dog's feeding.
What are the most common types of female dogs in heat
Very special estrus usually occurs in the first stage of estrus, before sexual maturity and at the beginning of the estrus season. In addition, the female dog’s lack of nutrition, poor circulation, improper feeding and control, sudden changes in environmental temperature, etc. can also cause abnormal estrus. The rare and very rare estruses in dogs include the following:
1. Quiet estrus:This means that the female dog does not do anything when she is in estrus. It is obvious that the follicles in the ovary have matured and ovulated. This situation is also a relatively rare phenomenon.
2. Brief estrus:This naturally means that the female dog is in estrus for a relatively short time. If you don’t pay attention to observation, it will be quite serious. The probability is high that it misses breeding opportunities. The reason for short-term estrus may be that the developing follicles mature, divide and ovulate quickly, shortening the estrus period; it may also be caused by the cessation of development or development of the follicles.
3. Intermittent estrus: The female dog is in estrus intermittently, and the whole process lasts for a long time. This situation is generally seen in malnourished female dogs.
Feifei is very important to dogs in estrus and fertility. It is an unlucky factor
4. Extended estrus: Refers to the fact that the female dog is in estrus for a long time and can still receive the male dog within 30 days. Dog mating, however, does not cause ovulation. Prolonged estrus may be caused by a lack of gonadotropin, or it may be related to follicular cysts.
5. Fake estrus:The female dog shows signs of estrus, but does not ovulate, or may not become pregnant after mating. The reason for false estrus may be that the pituitary gland is not affected by gonadotropin-releasing hormones and cannot produce a suppressive reaction to estrogen, resulting in a sharp increase in estrogen.
6. Estrus after pregnancy:Bitches may still show signs of estrus after pregnancy. Estrus after pregnancy is mainly caused by imbalance of reproductive hormone penetration.
How to protect female dogs from being in heat
Female dogs The number of ovulation is generally related to genetics, but the quality of general breeding management will also have a great impact on it. Under normal circumstances, adult female dogs ovulate about 20 eggs in one estrus period, which is called potential growth. However, the actual number of litters is only about 10 or less. It seems that the number of litters still has potential. Therefore, attention should be paid to the feeding and management of bitches during the breeding preparation period. The nutrition should be thoughtful and rich, and special attention should be paid to the adequate supply of protein, minerals (calcium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, sodium, etc.) and vitamins. At the same time, it is necessary to control the fat condition. As the saying goes: "A female dog that is empty is 80% fat, and it is easy to get pregnant and give birth to high litters." If a female dog is too fat or too thin, it will cause her to develop developmental disorders such as abnormal estrus, low ovulation, and low egg viability. In addition, appropriate lighting, ventilation, fresh atmosphere, cleanliness in the house, and good feeding (15 days) of reserve bitches before breeding are very effective in promoting estrus and ovulation of bitches. If artificial aphrodisiac can be used, it can also have certain effects.
Therefore, in general, we must pay more attention to the feeding and management of dogs, not only for the normal estrus of dogs, but there are many problems that can be solved by insufficient nutrition. , so maintaining adequate nutrients is necessary for the health of dogs.
