Dietary coordination and matters needing attention in rex rabbit breeding

Rex rabbit, scientific name Rex rabbit (Rex Rabbit), originated in France. Is a typical leather rabbit, because its fur is very similar to the precious fur animal otter, so it is called Rex rabbit. The Rex rabbit has a well-proportioned figure, a meat beard under the cheeks, long and upright ears, thin and curly eyebrows, fine, rich, short and smooth plush, bright and clean appearance, and cool hands touching the coat.

Dietary coordination of Rex rabbits

Under normal circumstances, adult rabbits are supplied with 800-1000 grams of green feed and 100-250 grams of compound feed. The formula of compound feed is as follows: adult rabbit: corn 25%, bean cake 2%, barley 20%, bone meal 1.5%, wheat bran 40%, salt 0.5%, rice bran 10%, additive and auxin 1%, digestible energy 2911 kcal / kg, digestible crude egg from 126g / kg. Young rabbits: corn 17%, bean cake 20%, barley 17%, fish meal 3%, wheat bran 40%, salt 0.5%, bone meal 1%, auxin and additives 1.5%, digestible energy 2939 kcal / kg, digestible crude protein 148g / kg. In terms of feeding, green fodder is the main feed in summer and autumn, hay and succulent feed in winter and early spring. Do not change the feed too suddenly, the new feed should be gradually increased, if the change is too fast, it is easy to cause food intake to decline or refuse to eat. Green fodder should pay attention to variety diversification, not long-term feeding a single variety, in order to increase palatability, winter green material supply is difficult, can increase high-quality hay. The green feed of lactating female rabbits can not be interrupted and should be eaten with emphasis. The coarse powder should be mixed and mixed evenly before feeding. Before feeding, press 1 ∶ 1 to mix with warm water. Generally, when grasping the wet material by hand, the degree of water seepage between fingers should not drop. It should not be mixed more than once, so as to ensure the freshness and palatability of the feed.

Rex rabbit as an important feature of breeding, has been accepted by many areas, a large number of Rex rabbit farms emerge in endlessly, which also causes a drawback, that is, the feeding level of breeders is different, which may cause a large number of Rex rabbit deaths. So, in order to ensure the interests, what problems should we pay attention to when raising Rex rabbits?

I. the main points of selection and purchase

Must choose the individual strong, the eye has the god, the hip is plump, the limb is powerful, the body each part is symmetrical, the sexual desire is exuberant male parent, chooses the maternal good offspring rabbit as the female parent. Good motherhood includes a large amount of lactation, gentle temperament, prenatal feathering and no bad habits of eating rabbits.

II. Key points of production management

1. Get ready for prenatal preparation: the parturient rabbits begin to pick up grass to make their nests 3-4 days before delivery. Breeders should prepare the litter box in advance and lay the bedding grass, which should be soft, cut short, sun-dried and disinfected. At the same time, prepare some green, juicy and palatable forage for the female rabbit and put the bedding grass into the rabbit cage, and put some drinking water with brown sugar to facilitate the lactation of the female rabbit.

two。 Let the baby rabbits eat colostrum in time: Rex rabbits are generally fed once a day and should be fed regularly.

3. We should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of mastitis of mother rabbits and xanthuria of young rabbits: always check carefully and treat them as soon as they are found to be ill. If the treatment is too late, it can lead to the death of the whole litter of rabbits, even if it is found late or not treated in time, it will increase the mortality rate, and even if the rabbits do not die, they will grow slowly.

4. Always check whether the baby rabbits are full or whether the milk of the mother rabbits is sufficient: if you find that individual rabbits are not full, you can replenish them once alone, and if most of the rabbits are not full because of the lack of milk, measures can be taken to prevent them from starving to death. In addition, we should prevent frost damage in winter, heat in summer, and rodent damage all the year round.

3. Main points of raising young rabbits

Some tender grass with good palatability can be given in about 18 days. At the age of 22, it can be fed with digestible and nutritious concentrate, a small amount and 5 times a day. At the beginning of feeding, you can add some mother tablets, olaquindox, garlic, onions and so on. After 22 days of age, the young rabbits were moved to the young rabbit cage, and the female rabbits were fed in the baby rabbit cage every day.

IV. Main points of vaccination

The newborn rabbits were given chloramphenicol nasal drip at 7 days after birth, 2 drops at a time for 3 days, and once more for 10 days, 1 ml of Brucella bronchial septicemia vaccine was injected on the 18th day, and 2 ml was injected 7 days later. At 18 days old, the mother tablet and quinolinol were added to prevent gastroenteritis, 2 ml Pasteurella multocida vaccine was injected at 20-22 days old, 1 ml rabbit plague vaccine was injected at weaning, and 2 ml of triple vaccine was injected 10 days after stopping. After weaning, chlorophenylguanidine was added to the feed for 45 days to prevent coccidiosis.
