Artificial breeding technique of hare

The hare is a wild animal for both fur and meat, and the hare is a grain-saving livestock with strong resistance and adaptability, strong disease resistance, high survival rate, high reproduction rate, resistance to rough feeding, low cost and good benefit. Industry insiders believe that there is a shortage of hare meat and a large market capacity in the international market. The demand for rabbit meat in some countries in Japan, South Korea, Russia and Europe has increased greatly, and their own supply exceeds the demand, so they import a large amount of rabbit meat from China. In addition, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also frequently ask for goods from the mainland. Due to the small amount of feeding at present, the domestic feeding quantity is less than 1% of the market demand. Therefore, raising rabbits is a good way to get rich. The main points of artificial rapid breeding techniques are briefly introduced as follows:

Environmental requirements

The hare rests in a wide range of places, usually without digging holes. But in order to avoid predators, potholes, grass, stone gaps or cracks are often used for rest. When raising in captivity, attention should be paid to creating a similar environment, and the site should be broad, hygienic and dry, so as to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases.

Activity law

Hares are mainly active at night, especially at dusk or dawn. As a result of life-long life on the ground, when encounter natural enemies, the hare try to hide, motionless. Coupled with its timidity, so breeding should try to prevent harassment and keep the environment quiet. Drinking water and forage should be provided during the day (preferably in the afternoon) for nighttime diet.

Feeding habit

The hare takes grass as its staple food and nibbles on bark, twigs and grass roots in cold winters, especially when snow is covered, if food is scarce. In addition, the hare has the habit of eating soft dung, which is a normal digestive function, do not think that eating dung is pica. In order to supplement the lack of food intake, you can put an appropriate amount of grass into the rabbit's circle or house every day, and put some straw in winter, such as bean straw, corn straw, sweet potato vine, peanut vine and so on. Can also put some corn, bran and other concentrate, water is more indispensable. Usually put some salt on the board for the hare to eat, which can increase its appetite.

Breeding technology

After the hare matures sexually, it begins to mate when the temperature is right. The north produces 3-4 nests per year, while the south produces 6-8 nests per year. Because of the abundant forage grass from May to October, the survival rate of young rabbits born in spring is higher. When the hare is in estrus, it chases, shakes its tail and enuises. The female rabbit is in estrus for many times, and the male rabbit fights with each other. After mating, the young rabbits with a gestation period of 30-40 days matured in the second year. During the breeding period and artificial reproduction, rabbits can be put into the herd according to the proportion of 1 male and 4 females to allow them to mate freely. people had better not intervene, so the conception rate is relatively high. After domestication, artificial auxiliary breeding can be carried out.

Disease prevention and treatment

Because the hare is timid, it is difficult to catch, and it is often easy to cause casualties, so it is very difficult to get vaccinated. Oxytetracycline can be added to the feed according to the amount of 0.1 grams per day, stop for 3 days for a week, and then for 3 days, which can play the role of anti-inflammation and promoting growth without disease. Dysentery can also be added to the feed once a week to prevent diarrhea and coccidiosis.
