1. Selecting excellent rabbit breeds is the primary requirement for developing rabbit industry. Choose rabbits with bright eyes, shiny fur and strong limbs. Pay attention to whether the anus of rabbits is clean. The requirements for male rabbits are particularly high.
We should also pay attention to education. It is necessary to match the old and tender, tender and old, old and tender, weak and strong, strong and weak, so as to sum up the survival rate of rabbits.
2, do a good job of cleaning, reduce the disease.
The disease resistance rate of rabbits is very weak. Hygiene of cages is the basic measure to ensure the health of rabbits. The cage should be ventilated and dry, feces and urine should be removed frequently, the cage bottom and utensils should be scrubbed regularly, and the cage should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
3. Breeding is diversified and relatively stable.
Rabbits can only grow and develop well if they have comprehensive nutrition, but the nutritional components and orders of magnitude contained in various feeds are different. Therefore, it must be matched with a variety of feeds. In order to meet the needs of rabbits, the daily diet should contain a certain amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and so on. Many rabbit farmers are feeding pellet feed and mixture, which is scientific. If the feed is single, it will cause malnutrition and metabolic diseases.
When changing feed, we should pay attention to changing it step by step. The frequency should be from less to more, not only to adapt to the appetite of rabbits, but also to gradually adapt to the digestive function of rabbits. If you don't pay attention to this, you will often waste feed and easily cause loss of appetite and gastroenteritis.
4, feeding should be regular and quantitative.
According to the living habits of rabbits, feeding should be regular and orderly. Generally, it is advisable to feed two meals a day, so that breakfast is early and dinner is late. According to different feeds and seasons, the growth stage should be fed according to the situation.
5, pay attention to keep warm in winter, heatstroke prevention in summer, moistureproof in May, and keep the cage well ventilated.
In winter and spring, when the temperature is below 8℃, it is necessary to keep the cage warm to prevent the invasion of thieves, especially when rabbits have just been sheared or bred. In summer, the room temperature is over 35℃ and the temperature is around 25℃, which is a favorable opportunity for all kinds of bacteria to multiply. In order to manage rabbits well, moistureproof and ventilation must be done well. Avoid various diseases caused by environmental discomfort.
6. Unlike other rabbits, long-haired rabbits have been raised to adulthood or even old age.
Rabbit for meat and rabbit for skin are young rabbits, and their skins are of the best quality, so they are often slaughtered and utilized in their youth. Long-haired rabbits, on the other hand, aim at producing wool to help them grow up and even get old. Rabbits over 6 months old are called adult rabbits, and rabbits aged 1-2 years old have the best wool yield and fecundity. After 3 years, the wool output decreased gradually and the production performance decreased. Rabbits over 3 years old are called old rabbits. The disease resistance of old rabbits is stronger than that of young rabbits. Therefore, the custody of old rabbits is not as good as that of young rabbits.
7, strengthen disease prevention, prevention is more important than treatment.
Rabbits have weak disease resistance and high incidence. The purpose of prevention and treatment of rabbit disease is that prevention is more important than treatment. Many diseases often end in death if they are found late and treated in time. Such as diarrhea, if you are not careful, you will be seriously dehydrated, which is a fly in the ointment. In addition, in the process of mass treatment, it was found that many people died because of poor medical technology. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen management, observe frequently, strictly control diet, improve knowledge of disease prevention and ensure the healthy development of rabbits.
