Recently, the white raccoon skin farms have been hyping the white raccoon skin, and the raccoon dog skin has become a hot spot in the special breeding industry.

Under the speculation, the price of the raccoon dog has continued to rise. At present, the price of the raccoon leather has reached 530 yuan in the Shang Village town of Suning County, Hebei Province, which is nearly 200 yuan higher than that of the same black raccoon skin. Can the raccoon skin become the highlight of the year?

The future development of the raccoon skin has become a mystery.

The author has made reference to some data to illustrate his point of view.

First of all, we should understand the production characteristics of the raccoon dog in order to better grasp the development trend of the raccoon skin.

White raccoon dog and its characteristics

The raccoon dog in nature has always been bluish brown. This common common color type is known as wild type in heredity.

Previously, a rare male white raccoon was found in Harbin zoo in Heilongjiang province (eyes and kisses were pale pink). Later, in the three northeastern provinces of China, raccoon dogs were found to have yellow brown or pale blue, black kissing raccoons or raccoons, which are different from the special color pattern of wild type fur. They are called variants.

Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences's special research institute has used these valuable white raccoon mutant genes. After nearly 10 years of research, it has finally succeeded in breeding the new white raccoon type in China.

There are two types of phenotypes of the raccoon dog in China: one is the hair color of the wild raccoon except the eye rim, the ear margin, the nose tip, the claw and the tail tip. The hair and hair of other parts of the body are white. The other is the hair and hair of all parts of the body are white.

The two species of white raccoon dog are all very attractive in color, and their bodies are not significantly different from those of common colored raccoons.

Genetic characteristics of coat color of raccoon dog

A large number of studies have shown that the genetic gene of white hairs of raccoon dog is a dominant gene (W), and its corresponding wild type gene has homozygous lethal effect, so all the raccoon dog individuals are heterozygote (Ww).

The color separation of white raccoon dog and white raccoon dog and wild raccoon dog is as follows:

(1) white raccoon dog

(Ww) (Ww)

Ww+Ww+ww

Deadly white raccoon dog, white raccoon dog, wild raccoon dog

(2) raccoon dog, wild type raccoon dog.

(Ww) (WW)

Ww+ww

Wild raccoon dog

It can be seen that the mating between the white raccoon dog and the white raccoon dog is only the 1/2 raccoon dog. Due to the homozygous lethal effect of the dominant gene, it also reduces its fecundity.

The white raccoon dog mate with wild type raccoon dog, and the offspring also separate 1/2 raccoon dog, but avoids the consequence of homozygous death of dominant gene.

Selection of white raccoon dog

The color of Chinese white raccoon dog is very stable, that is, the white hairs are all white, without any other variegated color (such as needle white and fluff or white, or some part of the body is not white).

Therefore, the selection of white raccoon dog should focus on hair color, wool quality and body shape, especially for male raccoon dogs.

The mating of white raccoon dog is better than that of wild type raccoon dog.

White raccoon dog usually has the shortcomings of long needle hair. The wild type of raccoon dog is short and dense, so as to correct the shortcoming of the raccoon dog.

To sum up, the raccoon dog has only half of the production rate, which largely curbed the spread of raccoon skin.

Last year, the output of raccoon dog was about 6 million to 7 million in China. This year, by the impact of price recovery, it is expected to exceed 7 million.

The author learned from the Da Ying fur trading market in Zaoqiang County of Hebei province that at present, the raccoon dog fur cap of China is 67 x 10 (CM) 26 yuan to 27 yuan, 80 x 12 (CM) 45 yuan, 80 x 15 (CM) 60 yuan, 70 70 70 (CM) yuan yuan, and the market sale is acceptable. Because of the high price of the raccoon dog skin, many Mao collar processing firms haven't made any plans for the development of the white raccoon dog.

The formation of the market is complementary to each other. The market does not have sufficient supply of goods. The development of white raccoon skin is only at an initial stage, and some of the breeding enterprises have a wait-and-see attitude. This will continue the price of the white raccoon skin. The white raccoon skin is mainly made of cap and hat, and there is no essential difference between the black raccoon skin and the black raccoon skin.

In addition, the white raccoon skin can not bring the shock wave to the market as the Rex Rabbit's new product. Its influence is less than the rex rabbit. However, the breeding enterprise will gradually strengthen the white raccoon dog breeding and lay the foundation for the shrinkage of the domestic black raccoon skin. This will undoubtedly make the price of the black raccoon dog skin a good performance opportunity.

However, we must see that in recent years, the competition in the down processing industry is becoming more and more intense. The down products will not increase greatly because of the use of raccoon skins. Raccoon skin, as a new raw material, will form a special consumer group instead of completely replace the black raccoon skin. Therefore, the raccoon dog skin will play a new role.

From the perspective of production and consumption, it has injected new impetus to the breeding of the white raccoon dog, and will lay the foundation for the real commercialization of the raccoon dog.

Therefore, I believe that the raccoon dog skin is a new hope, but it will never be a life-saving straw.
