High-yielding techniques for increasing hair of long-haired rabbits

The technology of increasing hair and high yield of long-haired rabbits is an important part of rabbit industry. Based on the experimental experience of rabbit farmers in various places, the hair-increasing techniques of long-haired rabbits are described 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, acid cystine and so on. In addition, feed more green feed containing vitamin A, such as Artemisia mandshurica, carrots and Gramineae forages, 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 the same 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. Medicine bath can accelerate the growth of rabbit hair, and the wool yield can be increased by more than 20%, while rabbit hair is white and bright, loose and not easy to tangle, at the same time can prevent the occurrence of scabies and reduce other skin diseases. The preparation method of  medicine bath solution: use trichlorfon powder 150g 200g, water 50kg, prepare trichlorfon solution 0.3% 0.5%, then add sulfur powder 150g, stir and evenly dissolve before bathing use. 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. Bath rabbit method: within 10 days after shearing, choose to take a bath in a warm climate, do not startle the rabbit, and let the rabbit have enough to eat before the bath. When taking a bath, grasp the rabbit ear with one hand and put it into the bathtub, so that the rabbit body except the head is soaked in the bath liquid, the other hand washes the whole body of the rabbit from the bottom up, and finally washes the head and ear root. The rabbits who have suffered from rabbit scabies should be bathed separately.

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.

V. Post-harvest management

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.

two。 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 soaked soybeans (soybeans) 7 and 8 tablets per day, which can make the rabbit hair grow fast, increase the coat and brighten the color.

4. Comb the hair every three days or so to promote the skin blood circulation 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. Proper increase of rabbit light time can also improve the yield and quality of rabbit hair.

6. After shearing, vitamin B  250ml is injected into the arm muscle, which has an obvious hastening effect and can generally be sheared about 10 days earlier.
