Feeding skills of raising rabbits

First, feed to a reasonable mix, do not feed a single variety.

The nutrients in the rabbit diet are as follows: 10% of crude protein, 10% of crude fiber, 5% of fat, 2800 calories of digestible energy and 10% of amino acids per kilogram. If feeding formula feed unconditionally, soybeans, bean cakes, wheat bran, corn and other succulent feeds such as carrots should be added appropriately.

Second, attention should be paid to night feeding.

Rabbits have a strong night feeding habit, and the night food intake can account for more than 75% of the whole day's food intake. Therefore, rabbits should be provided with sufficient feed and drinking water at night.

Third, the material should be changed slowly.

Often fed with a kind of feed, the rabbit has a strong ability to adapt, if the feed is changed suddenly, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal disease in rabbits. Therefore, the feed should be changed step by step.

Fourth, do not feed silage.

The high acidity of silage will affect the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the cecum of rabbits, cause the decrease of cellulase and affect the normal digestion of rabbits. At the same time, silage is prone to mildew and deterioration, and rabbits are easy to cause toxic dysentery and even death after eating.

Fifth, do not break the forage.

There are many microorganisms that can secrete fibrase in the cecum of rabbits, which have a strong ability to decompose crude fibers. However, the retention time of feed into the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits is relatively short, so feed forage should not be interrupted to prevent food pellets from hardening and blocking the caecum and the vermis process of the cecum. Each adult rabbit was fed 0.5 kilograms of forage every day.

Don't be overfed.

Rabbits should be fed regularly and rationally. Adult rabbits should be fed 4 times a day, and young rabbits should be fed 4-6 times a day, 70-80% full each time. Do not feed too often or too full, so as not to cause diarrhea and abdominal distension.
