High-yielding techniques for increasing wool of long-haired rabbits in winter

The technology of increasing hair and high yield of long-haired rabbits is an important part of rabbit industry. Especially in the cold winter is more important. Combined with the practical experience of rabbit farmers in various places, the hair increasing technology of long-haired rabbits in winter is briefly introduced as follows:

First, scientific feeding.

Long-haired rabbits have a certain selectivity to feed. Such as like to eat leafy feed, sweet food, especially carrots and sulfur feed. When conditions permit, adding a small amount of sugar, earthworm powder and vegetable oil to Japanese cuisine can increase its palatability. Some sulfur-containing amino acids can also be added to the feed, such as methionine, cystine and so on. In addition, feed more green feed containing vitamin A, such as Artemisia mandshurica, carrots and Gramineae forage, to ensure the nutrients needed for rabbit hair growth and promote hair production.

Adding zinc sulfate can also promote the rabbit to produce more hair. According to relevant data, rabbit hair contains 4.2% sulfur, which is much higher than ordinary protein. It can be seen that feeding with general feed is far from meeting the sulfur needs of long-haired rabbits. Feeding zinc sulfate can not only ease this contradiction, but also the trace element zinc in zinc sulfate can directly participate in the synthesis of auxin in animals and plants, thus promoting growth.

Second, medicine bath to encourage.

The medicine bath can accelerate the growth of rabbit hair, increase the wool yield by more than 20%, and the rabbit hair is white and bright, loose and not easy to tangle, at the same time prevent the occurrence of scabies and reduce other skin diseases.

The preparation method of medicine bath liquid:

With trichlorfon powder 150g 200g, water 50kg, prepare 0.3% 0.5% trichlorfon solution, and then add 150 grams of sulfur powder, stir up and dissolve evenly before bathing. Or use hibiscus skin and Sophora flavescens 100 grams each, add 2.5 kilograms of water, pour juice to remove residue after frying, and then add 100 grams of sulfur powder; 5 kilograms of boiled water, which can be used for 20 long-haired rabbits to take a warm bath. The method of bathing rabbits: within 10 days after shearing, choose temperature

Third, raise more female rabbits.

The wool yield of female rabbits of the same breed is about 30% higher than that of male rabbits, and the wool quality is better than that of male rabbits. Therefore, when breeding young rabbits, the male rabbits should be separated or removed within 10 days, so that the female rabbits can have enough to eat, develop quickly and have fewer diseases.

Fourth, collect wool reasonably.

The methods and techniques of collecting hair are directly related to the output and quality of rabbit hair. we should skillfully master the technology of collecting hair in order to promote the health and long hair of long-haired rabbits and improve the yield and quality of rabbit hair.

Fifth, post-harvest management.

The main results are as follows: 1. adding appropriate amount of copper, zinc and other mineral trace element additives to the feed can not only promote the growth of epidermal cells, but also increase the curvature, toughness and elasticity of rabbit hair.

2. After shearing, you can use ginger slices to dip 60 degrees of liquor to wipe the whole body of the rabbit, but do not wipe the mouth, nose and eyes, so that the rabbit body can be covered with fluff after 5 days, and more neatly.

3. Each rabbit can be fed with 5 grams of fresh leek and 7 grains of soaked soybeans (soybeans) per day, which can make the rabbit hair grow fast, increase the coat and make the coat bright and smooth.

4. comb the hair with a comb every three days or so to promote the blood circulation of the skin and the vitality of hair follicle cells, stimulate the cortex and accelerate metabolism, accelerate the growth of rabbit hair, and improve the quality of rabbit hair.

5. Properly increasing the illumination time of rabbits can also improve the yield and quality of rabbit hair.

6. After shearing, vitamin B250ml is injected into the arm muscle, which has an obvious hastening effect, and it can be sheared about 10 days earlier.
