The countryside is also divided into the south and the north, and it is better to raise Tianfu meat rabbits in the south. In general, the countryside has many raw materials and a good environment. Then we can feed grass directly and mix some fodder, if it is large-scale, we must pay attention to the feed link, and build a good rabbit cage (especially meat rabbit).

Can rabbits eat chicken feed?

Xiaobian believes that rabbits can not eat chicken food, chicken feed has stones for chickens to grind teeth, rabbits can not digest.

The correct feeding methods are as follows:

1. If the rabbit is weaned, eat alfalfa, Timothy grass, rabbit food and water. If Timothy is not available for the time being, use dogtail grass instead. When I was a child, I ate more alfalfa than Timothy grass. If the rabbit bites the alfalfa constantly, it means it is not weaned. Give it milk.

2. The rabbits fed mainly by Timothy grass are less than those fed by alfalfa, and the proportion of rabbits fed by alfalfa is less than that by Timothy.

3. There should be no water on the grass (important). If the leaves are wet, dry the grass completely before feeding it to the rabbit.

4. Put grass in the cage at night. It eats more at night than during the day. Rabbits mainly eat grass.

How much money can you earn a year by raising rabbits?

This figure is calculated as the market changes: the Rex rabbit is a litter a month. Those who give birth to more babies give birth to 14 babies, and those who give birth to fewer babies give birth to 6 babies, usually about 8 babies. What we have is that it can give birth to six births (litters) every year. If each litter is calculated according to the survival rate of five, a female rabbit can survive 30 commercial rabbits a year, and if each commercial rabbit is calculated according to the recovery price of 50 yuan per rabbit, it can earn a gross income of 1500 yuan a year. Under the condition of abundant feed resources, the cost of each commercial rabbit is 15 yuan. In the case that feed resources rely entirely on buying or being very fastidious, each can be shared at a cost of 25 yuan.

From this point of view, each of the high earners earns 35 yuan, while the low earns 25 yuan each, and 30 commercial rabbits can earn 1050 yuan in the whole year. If the lowest earns 25 yuan each, then each breeding rabbit can make a profit of 750yuan a year. For the time being, everyone could not meet the conditions for selling breeding rabbits, and if they could meet the conditions for selling breeding rabbits, the profit of each breeding rabbit would be more than 3000 yuan at that time.

In addition, it depends on whether you keep a meat rabbit or a pet rabbit. Meat rabbits are sold by jin, ranging from 15 to 25 per jin, depending on whether they are male or female, black or white. Female rabbits are cheaper than white rabbits. If the pet rabbit, retail has been 80 murmur150, usually can be sold within a month, wholesale, then it will be cheaper.

How about raising rabbits now?

1. Small investment, quick results and large returns

Compared with other animals, the investment of meat rabbit is smaller and the input-output ratio is higher. For rural families, the investment in raising meat rabbits can be divided into rabbit breeding fees, feed fees, epidemic prevention fees, cage fees and so on.

2. Less land and less labor

Meat rabbits can be raised flat or stereo, indoors or outdoors, on the ground, underground or on the roof. Small-scale family feeding can make use of the courtyard or spare house old house, the general family courtyard, can accommodate the scale of about 30 basic female rabbits. Raising rabbits without heavy manual work can be done by both the elderly and children. Rabbits like to be nocturnal, so there is no contradiction between raising rabbits and farming. Farmers can make use of their spare time without losing their farm work.

3. High yield of multiple births, short feeding cycle and high meat yield.

Meat rabbit sexual maturity is early, about 3-4 months, generally 6 months first mating, pregnancy period 1 month, the average fetus gives birth to 7-8 babies, postpartum estrus can be mated, can give birth to more than 6 babies a year. The growth rate of young rabbits is fast, which can reach 2 in about 60 days after weaning after one month of weaning. 5 kg out of the hurdle. A female rabbit can get 35-40 offspring in a year, which is equivalent to 20-25 times the weight of the female rabbit. However, the number of cattle and sheep is only 0.35-0.63 times. At present, other livestock can hardly be compared with meat rabbits. Therefore, the development of meat rabbit breeding industry is an important way to solve people's meat sources and enrich people's vegetable baskets.

From the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that the breeding prospect of rabbits is very great. Before breeding rabbits, we should fully understand the species of rabbits and their living habits, because different kinds of rabbits, its living habits and the growth environment are different.
