The pregnancy period of a female rabbit refers to the time from mating and conception to childbirth. The pregnancy period is usually 30 days. The goal of its feeding and management is to ensure the normal development of the fetus, to make nutritional preparations for postpartum lactation, and to prevent stillbirth and abortion. The nutrient requirement of female rabbits during pregnancy is 1.5 times higher than that during empty pregnancy. After pregnancy, especially in the later stage of pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly and the need for protein is increasing, so it is necessary to feed more feed with high protein content, such as soybean cake, fish meal and so on, while adding appropriate amount of salt. General female rabbits from the 10th day of pregnancy, daily feed gradually increased, 20-28 days can be fed 500-700 grams of green feed, concentrate 100-125 grams; prenatal 2-3 days to reduce concentrate, feed more high-quality green feed. In management, we should do a good job in nursing and preventing abortion, pay attention to fresh and clean food, do not feed mildew, spoilage and frozen feed, do not suddenly change feed, keep the environment quiet, do not make noise, and pay attention to defending against enemies such as dogs, cats and mice; implement one rabbit in one cage to prevent extrusion and miscarriage; do not catch pregnant rabbits casually, and act lightly when touching the fetus. At the same time, we should do a good job of prenatal preparation, such as putting the sterilized litter box in the female rabbit cage and laying soft and hygienic hay.
