How to raise young rabbits

Rabbit breeding is a very common favorite, you think, it is a very popular industry in special breeding, first of all, rabbits can be used as pets, meat rabbits and rabbit hair can be sold, but rabbit breeding is not as simple as other livestock farming, it requires farmers to be very careful, especially during the baby rabbit period. So today we will follow the pro-agricultural network to learn how to raise young rabbits.

1. Feeding

The soil of the newborn rabbit is very weak, so we should pay great attention to eating this piece. The intestinal tract of the baby rabbit is fragile and the digestive system is not very good, so at this stage we can only feed some food that is easy to absorb and digestible, such as the kind of fruits and vegetables with high fiber content, try not to feed them to the young rabbits. Usually we are fed with special rabbit food and an appropriate amount of alfalfa, celery, parsley and other vegetable leaves, which are of great help to the young rabbit's body, and then the right amount of green vegetables and carrots when the rabbit grows up slowly. Young rabbits must not be fed with these. Finally, it should be noted that when feeding, we should pay attention to more meals and a small amount of food, which will not hold up to death.

2. Drinking water

When feeding young rabbits, we should pay attention to the fact that tap water can not be used directly for young rabbits to drink. Their intestines and stomachs are very precious. If they are fed directly for tap water, they will have diarrhea, so usually we use drinking water or cool white to feed them. This is good for their intestines and stomach. Secondly, they can not be fed too much water. At most, they can be covered with water bottle. In other words, there is no need to put too much water in the breeding room, because they like to move, and the water will wet the hair and cause a cold, which is not good.

3. Hygiene

The rabbit is originally a relatively clean animal, if it lives in a dirty environment, it is likely to get sick and do not eat or drink. First of all, our young rabbit breeding room had better set up a compartment for fecal infiltration, because the rabbit house needs to be cleaned every day, if there is no partition, so daily cleaning will directly affect the growth of young rabbits. On the other hand, the chicken with a compartment can ensure that the living environment of the young rabbit is convenient for cleaning. It is also necessary to disinfect the rabbit house from time to time and keep the air in the breeding room well ventilated and dry.

4. Temperature

Young rabbits are sensitive to temperature, the temperature of the breeding room can not be high or low, too high young rabbits are prone to heatstroke, resulting in loss of appetite, serious death of a large number of young rabbits, too low will be easy to catch a cold, will also cause a certain mortality. The best temperature for the growth of young rabbits is about 20 degrees, the highest temperature can not be higher than 30 degrees, the lowest temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, if the temperature is abnormal, must be timely heat dissipation and heat preservation management.

5. Disease prevention

The most common disease of young rabbits is diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal discomfort, which is usually characterized by not eating, drinking or moving, and the stool is no longer granular, so it needs to be treated in time, or it will die. Secondly, the incidence of pinkeye disease in young rabbits is also very high, so some necessary prevention and treatment drugs should be prepared at all times in the farm.
