Experience in feeding and management of breeding male hare

The quality of breeding male rabbits plays a vital role in future generations. Therefore, the breeding male hare must be fed and managed scientifically: in the non-breeding season, the medium nutritional level of the male hare should be maintained, and the male hare should not be too fat or too thin, which will weaken the breeding performance, or even lose the breeding ability. the semen quality of breeding male hare depends on the nutrition in the feed, so it is necessary to ensure comprehensive nutrition. The protein content in the diet is 12% in the non-breeding period and 14%-15% in the breeding period, and animal protein feeds such as fish meal, silkworm pupa powder, eggs or blood meal are properly supplemented.

Per kilogram diet should contain 0.8% calcium, 0.4% phosphorus, 0.85 Mel 0.9 mg of carotene and 100 mg vitamin E4. Male rabbits should be supplemented with carrots, malt, soybeans or multivitamins one month before mating. The feed quantity of male hare should be increased during the breeding period. As it takes 20 days to see the effect from semen after increasing nutrients, the diet should be fed one month before mating. When mating twice a day, the amount of feed should be increased by 25%, and concentrate should be increased by 30% to 50%. At the same time, the supply of grain-type acidic feed can enhance the sexual reflex and sperm formation of male rabbits.

The feed of breeding male hare requires high nutritional value, easy digestion and good palatability. if fed with large volume and indigestible feed, it will inevitably increase the burden of digestive tract and cause indigestion, thus inhibiting the sexual activity of breeding male hare. Insufficient nutrition will lead to deficiency of male rabbits and decrease of sperm motility. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen exercise to make its libido exuberant, so as to improve the quality of semen.
