Raccoon Dog Is The Hope But Not The Lifesaver Of Fur Industry

Recently, the raccoon dog skin farms have been hyping the raccoon dog skin, which has become a hot spot in the special breeding industry. Under the speculation, the price of white raccoon dog skin continues to rise. At present, in Shangcun Town, Suning County, Hebei Province, the trading price of white raccoon dog skin has reached 530 yuan, nearly 200 yuan higher than the same black raccoon dog skin. Can white raccoon dog skin become a bright spot this year? It has become a mystery how to develop the fur of raccoon dog in the future. The author refers to some materials to clarify his own point of view. First of all, we should understand the production characteristics of white raccoon dog, in order to better grasp the development trend of white raccoon dog skin. (1) white raccoon dog and its characteristics the raccoon dog in nature has always been bluish brown. This common common color type is called wild type in heredity. In the past, a rare male raccoon dog was purchased by Harbin Zoo in Heilongjiang Province (the eyes and kisses are light pink). Later, some white raccoon dogs with yellow brown or light blue eyes and black kisses were found in the domestic raccoon dog populations in three provinces of Northeast China. These special color types, which are different from the wild type, are called variants. In recent 10 years, the Chinese Academy of Sciences of raccoon dog has successfully bred the new white raccoon dog gene. There are two types of white hairs on the body of raccoon dog, except for the white hair on the nose and the tail of raccoon dog. The fur color of the two kinds of raccoon dogs is very popular. The body shape of the two kinds of raccoon dogs is not significantly different from that of the common color raccoon dogs. (2) the genetic characteristics of coat color in raccoon dog (raccoon dog). A large number of studies have shown that the genetic gene of white coat of raccoon dog is dominant gene (W), and its corresponding wild type genetic gene has homozygous lethal effect, so all individuals of raccoon dog are heterozygous (WW). The fur color separation of white raccoon dog, white raccoon dog and wild type raccoon dog are as follows: (1) white raccoon dog × white raccoon dog (WW) ↓ (WW) WW + WW + WW lethal white raccoon dog wild type raccoon dog (2) white raccoon dog × wild type raccoon dog (WW) WW + WW white raccoon dog wild type raccoon dog It can be seen that only 1 / 2 of the offspring of white raccoon dogs mated with white raccoon dogs, because of the homozygous lethal effect of dominant genes, the fecundity of white raccoon dogs was also reduced. When the raccoon dog mated with wild-type raccoon dog, half of the offspring were separated, but the homozygous death of dominant gene was avoided. (3) selection of white raccoon dogs in China, the coat color of the current white raccoon dog types has been very stable, that is, the white part of the hair, regardless of the needle hair and fluff are all white, and there is no other color (such as the needle hair is white and the hair is not white or part of the body is not white, etc.). Therefore, the selection of white raccoon dogs should focus on the color, quality and shape of their fur, especially the male raccoon dogs. White raccoon dogs should be mated with wild-type fur colored raccoon dogs rather than between white raccoon dogs. Generally, white raccoon dog has the disadvantage of long needle hair. The wild-type raccoon dog has the best short and dense needle hair to correct the shortcomings of white raccoon dog. To sum up, the white raccoon dog has only half of the production probability, which has largely curbed the overflow of white raccoon dog skin. The domestic output of raccoon dogs in Ussuri was about 6 million to 7 million last year. Affected by the price recovery this year, it is expected to exceed 7 million. In the Daying fur trading market of Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province, the author has learned that at present, Tangshan raccoon dog fur cap strips are 67 × 10 (CM) 26 ～ 27 yuan, 80 × 12 (CM) 45 yuan, 80 × 15 (CM) 60 yuan, 70 × 12 (CM) 35 yuan. The market sales are fair. For white raccoon fur, due to the high price, many fur collar processing companies have not made plans to develop white raccoon dogs. The formation of the market is complementary to each other. There is no sufficient source of goods in the market. The development of white raccoon dog skin is only in the initial stage, and some breeding enterprises hold a wait-and-see attitude, which will continue the high price period of white raccoon dog skin. White raccoon dog skin is mainly made into hat strips and hats, and there is no essential difference between the use value of white raccoon dog skin and black raccoon dog skin. In addition, the white raccoon dog skin can not bring shock wave to the market as the Rex Rabbit new product, and its influence is inferior to that of Rex rabbit. However, for the sake of interests, the breeding enterprises will gradually strengthen the breeding of white raccoon dog, laying a foundation for the shrinkage of domestic black raccoon dog skin, which will undoubtedly give the price of black raccoon dog a good performance opportunity. However, it must be noted that in recent years, the competition in down processing industry has become increasingly fierce, and down products will not increase a lot due to the use of white raccoon dog skin. As a new raw skin, white raccoon dog skin will form a special consumer group and will not completely replace black raccoon dog skin. Therefore, white raccoon dog skin will play a new role. In terms of production and consumer groups, it will inject new impetus into the breeding of white raccoon dogs and lay a foundation for the real commercialization of white raccoon dogs. Therefore, the author believes that raccoon dog skin is a new hope, but it will never be the life-saving straw for the special breeding industry.
