Energy Feed is commonly used in Meat Rabbit

Common feed for meat rabbits-energy feed Energy feed refers to a kind of feed with crude fiber content less than 18% and crude protein content less than 20% in dry matter of feed, which is the main source of energy in meat rabbit diet. 1 . Feed type ( 1) corn, barley, wheat, sorghum, rice, etc. are commonly used in grain seeds. Corn is the most commonly used energy feed for meat rabbits. It has high energy content and good palatability. The feed amount can account for 10%-20% of the diet. ( 2) By-products of grain processing include rice bran, wheat bran, sorghum, corn husk, etc. Wheat bran is rich in nutrition, palatable, but with laxative, feeding amount can account for 5%~ 15% of the total diet. ( 3) Sugar, wine and other processing by-products mainly include molasses, distiller's grains, bean dregs, beet residue and so on. The palatability and pellet quality of meat rabbit feed could be improved obviously by adding molasses to the feed, and the feed amount could account for 3%-6% of the total diet. 2 . Nutritional characteristics of the first, high energy content. Grain seeds, each kilogram containing digestible energy 10 . 46 Megajoules or more; wheat bran, rice bran, etc. containing digestible energy 10 . More than 87 megajoules. Second, the nitrogen-free extract content is higher. The dry matter content of common grains was 71 . 80 . 3%, bran content 53 . 62 . 8%, digestibility as high as 70%-96%. Third, the protein content is low. The protein content of grains was 6 . 9 % ~ 10 . 2%, bran content 10 . 3 %~ 12 . 8%, the essential amino acid content is incomplete, lysine, tryptophan, methionine content is low. Fourth, mineral elements, phosphorus, iron, copper, potassium and other high content, calcium content is low. However, about 70% of phosphorus is phytic acid phosphorus, and the absorption and utilization rate is low. Fifth, all energy feeds lack vitamins, but because of their small size, low crude fiber content and high nutritional value, they are the main feeds for meat rabbits. 3 . First, different types of energy feed have great differences in nutritional components, and attention should be paid to the diversification of feed types and rational use when ingredients are used. Second, the palatability order of grain feed to meat rabbit was barley, wheat, corn and rice. Sorghum should be limited in feeding because of its high tannin content. Third, energy feed due to low crude fiber content, especially corn, diet dosage should not be too much, so as not to lead to gastroenteritis and other digestive tract diseases. Fourthly, when energy feed is applied, in order to improve the digestibility of organic matter, it is best to mix protein and mineral element feed into granular feed after crushing. Fifth, high temperature, high humidity environment is easy to make concentrate moldy deterioration, aflatoxin has a strong toxicity to meat rabbits, use should pay special attention. Corn is good, but low in lysine. --------------------- Why don't you introduce other protein feeds and mineral feeds? --------------------- I did, but I don't know why it was deleted. I am depressed."
