Key points of breeding and management of hare in winter

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, game is more and more liked by people, but wild resources are far from meeting people's needs, so artificial breeding has become a more popular entrepreneurial project. It can not only meet the needs of people, but also make money for some people.

Key points of breeding and management of hare in winter

The hare is a kind of special wild economic animal with both skin, hair and meat, which mainly feeds on all kinds of natural weeds, green vegetables, leaves and so on. Because of its delicate and mellow meat, rich nutrition and rich game, it is favored by consumers. The management methods of hare breeding in winter are introduced as follows:

In winter, the doors and windows of the rabbit house should be closed or hung with grass curtains, and the temperature in the house should be kept above 15 ℃. At the same time, the heat consumption of the hare in winter is large, and the diet should increase the feed by more than 30% compared with other seasons, and feed more refined feed with high energy, adding vegetable leaves, carrots, barley malt or vitamin additives. in order to avoid the lack of vitamins and nutrients due to the lack of green feed in winter. The hare has the habit of walking day and night, feeding frequently at night, accounting for more than 70% of the whole diet at night, and long nights in winter, so more feed should be replenished at night.

Techniques of raising hare in winter

First, do a good job of heat preservation: rabbit house heat preservation is the focus of winter management, doors and windows should be closed tightly, block the wind tunnel, and strictly prevent the invasion of thieves. Outdoor cage, at night, the cage door should be hung with grass curtains or film for heat preservation; roll up the grass curtain or film during the day to ventilate the rabbit house and let the hare bask in the sun. The temperature in the rabbit house should always be balanced, not high or low. Otherwise, the hare is easy to catch cold.

Second, scientific feeding: the heat consumption of the hare in winter is large, regardless of the size of the hare, the amount of feed should be increased by 1 × 3 compared with other seasons, especially the energy feed should be increased by about 1 × 10. Less green feed in winter, you can plant winter ryegrass and other forage grass, and try to increase some vegetable leaves, carrots and so on, to supplement vitamins. The night is long in winter, and you need to feed it once more in the evening. At the same time, we should pay attention to drinking water, and it is appropriate to drink warm water at low temperature.

Third, do a good job of winter reproduction: the temperature in winter is low, there are few diseases, and the survival rate of young rabbits is high, so it is also important to breed well in winter. However, the low temperature in winter and the lack of vitamin feed, the female hare is not easy to estrus is also unfavorable factors. Therefore, the temperature of the rabbit house should be kept above 10 ℃ in winter, the green feed rich in vitamins should be fed, and the electric light bulb can be used to increase the light at night to promote the female hare to be in estrus.

Disease prevention and treatment of hare

1. Catch a cold. It is mainly caused by the sudden change of climate, dampness of rabbit house, improper ventilation and so on.

2. Diarrhea. It is mainly caused by the dampness in the rabbit house and the cold of the hare, especially because the hare ate the spoiled food, the feed changed suddenly, the young rabbit was gluttonous and so on. After the onset of the disease, the hare's appetite decreased, the number of defecation increased, and it was sparse and watery. The disease is more common in young rabbits.

3. Pneumonia. Mainly due to dampness in the rabbit house, poor ventilation, a variety of harmful gas long-term accumulation in the rabbit house to stimulate rabbits and other reasons, mostly occurred in young rabbits. After the onset of the disease, the hare is in low spirits, elevated body temperature, loss of appetite, dyspnea, head up, cough, accompanied by runny nose, sneezing and so on.

Treatment: 200000 units of penicillin and streptomycin can be injected intramuscularly, twice a day for 3-5 days, or 200000 units of kanamycin can be injected intramuscularly twice a day for 3-5 days.

Feeding and management of free-range hare

The feeding and management of hare is the key to the success of hare breeding. in the artificial breeding environment, the hare should keep the rabbit house clean and hygienic, keep cleaning every day, and supply the hare with enough green feed and drinking water. Firmly do not feed rabbits to unclean and unhygienic forage grass and put an end to the invasion of foreign disease sources. The hare should be put 1 male and 1 female in a rabbit house, not more, because the hare has the bad habit of biting, put more together, can interfere with the normal mating of the female hare, but also can cause the hare not to breed. The maternal nature of the hare is poor, which is also a kind of harm to the young hare.

It takes a year to a year and a half to raise a pair of wild rabbits in an artificial domesticated environment. The gestation period of domesticated female hare is 31-35 days, and each litter can produce 2-4 young hares, which can open their eyes, run and have hair all over the body.

As the maternal nature of the hare is poor, the pregnant female hare should be strictly observed, especially during the parturient period, and the management should be strengthened to prevent the hare from running randomly after birth, being injured by dogs, cats and other animals or freezing to death in cold weather. During the period of lactation, the hare should increase enough green feed and increase the amount of green feed to meet the food intake of the hare and increase the amount of colostrum to meet the growth needs of young hare. Hare and young hare have strong self-immunity and generally do not need drug immunity.

As far as the current breeding industry is concerned, the development of hare breeding is not particularly common, and many people may not know the nutritional value of hares, so there is still a lot of room for development in hare breeding, and breeders can develop and excavate it well.
