Male and female rabbits used for ① breeding should be raised in separate cages and single cages at the age of 3-3.5 months to prevent early mating and random intercourse and fighting with each other.

② youth public exemption timely first match. Young male rabbits are not yet fully developed. Early or late first mating will affect their libido and reduce their breeding ability. Under normal circumstances, the first mating age of large breeds of rabbits is 7-8 months old and weighs 6 kilograms, while that of medium breeds is 4 kilograms from 6 to 7 months, and that of small breeds is 4-5 months old and weighs 2Mel 2.5 kilograms. Generally, it is appropriate to breed once a day and rest for 5 days for 4 consecutive days. The young male rabbits were mated once a day, and the adult male rabbits were bred once a day for 4 days in a row, with a maximum of 2 times a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and one day in a row. Do not breed or collect semen for half an hour before and after feeding. Too many times of use will affect the semen quality and service life; on the contrary, if the breeding male rabbit is not used for a long time and is not used or seldom used, and cannot receive the stimulation of the opposite sex in time, the sexual desire of the breeding male rabbit will be suppressed and the breeding effect will be reduced, so the appropriate intensity of use should be mastered.

③ male rabbits should be caged one by one to prevent fighting and laceration. The male rabbit cage should keep a certain distance from the female rabbit cage, so as to avoid the stimulation of the opposite sex and affect the libido of male rabbits.

But in summer activities, do not put male rabbits in direct sunlight, because direct light will cause overheating, elevated body temperature, easy to cause fainting, cerebral congestion, solar radiation disease and so on.

The physique of ⑥ male rabbits is poor during hair changing, so it is best not to participate in mating.

The ⑦ male rabbit house should be kept at 10 ℃-20 ℃. Overheating or overcooling has adverse effects on the sexual function and semen crystal quality of male rabbits.

During the breeding period of ⑧, the health examination of breeding male rabbits should be strengthened.
