How to improve the litter rate of female rabbits with good economic benefits

In production practice, how to make female rabbits produce more babies and improve the birth rate is the key technology that every rabbit farmer needs to master. The following three methods can help farmers solve the problem of low litter size of female rabbits, so as to improve the birth rate of female rabbits.

Female rabbit

1. Feeding method: adding vitamin E to the diet of female rabbits and feeding carrots to female rabbits can make each female rabbit give birth to 2-3 more babies. Because vitamin E, also known as tocopherol and anti-infertility vitamins, can maintain the normal function of the endocrine system, make sex cells develop normally and improve the reproductive performance of female rabbits. Carrots are rich in carotene and vitamin A, which play an important role in the reproductive performance of female rabbits. Feeding method: 0.2% vitamin E powder is added to the female rabbit feed, which can be fed for a long time. It can also be started on the second day after weaning until the female rabbit is in estrus. Each female rabbit is fed with vitamin E powder 30-40 mg / kg body weight every day. In general, lactating female rabbits are fed 80-100 grams of carrots per day, and empty female rabbits are fed 50 grams per day.

Second, the slapping method: when the mating of the female rabbit is over, the pregnancy probability and litter size of the female rabbit can be increased by tapping 2-3 times on its buttocks. After mating, slapping the buttocks of the female rabbit will make the muscles of the whole body of the female rabbit contract violently, at the same time, the uterus will also contract, and the sperm will be deeply inhaled into the vagina to reduce the semen outflow, thus increasing the chance of sperm combining with the egg and increasing the conception probability and litter size of the female rabbit.

Third, the compound method: the conception rate of female rabbits can be increased by 10-20%, and the litter size can be increased by 2-3. There are two methods of mating: one is repeated breeding, after the end of the first mating, the female rabbit will mate with the same male rabbit at an interval of 4-6 hours; the other is double breeding, in which a female rabbit will mate with two male rabbits continuously, and after mating with a male rabbit, after an interval of 20-30 minutes, mate with another male rabbit.
