Matters needing attention for plucking of long-haired rabbits

The main economic value of long-haired rabbits lies in rabbit hair, and rabbit hair is generally collected by shearing and plucking, but the hair of shearing is uneven and it is easy to affect the quality of long hair, so the plucking method is generally chosen. Plucking method can stimulate rabbit skin, increase rabbit hair yield and improve rabbit hair quality, but it often leads to the life safety of long-haired rabbits due to improper operation. So what should we pay attention to when plucking long-haired rabbits? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. Three kinds of rabbits are not pulled out.

Attention should be paid to the plucking of long-haired rabbits, that is, young rabbits, pregnant and lactating female rabbits and male rabbits in breeding. At this time, because the skin of the young rabbit is delicate, if the young rabbit is plucked at this time, it is very easy to tear the skin, making it life-threatening; while depilating the pregnant and lactating female rabbits will lead to miscarriage and stillbirth of the pregnant female rabbits, and the lactation female rabbits will have a decline in milk production; the plucking of the male rabbits will affect the breed of semen, making it difficult or failed to mate.

2. Plucking time

Pay attention to the time when choosing plucking, the hot weather is not plucking, the long-haired rabbit is more sensitive to the environment after plucking, if it is in a kind of hot weather at this time, it is extremely disadvantageous, so it is necessary to choose early morning or night when plucking in summer, preferably on rainy days. In addition, plucking in winter should be in an environment with sufficient light after plucking in the sun, and plucking in winter should be long and short, so as to prevent rabbits from having almost no ability to resist cold, resulting in freezing to death due to plucking all the hair.

3. Treat the wound in time

When the long-haired rabbit is depilated, the skin should be torn improperly, and the wound should be treated in time. The wound can be daubed with iodine tincture or purple potion, so as to avoid bacterial invasion and infection. In addition, if the wound deteriorates, it should be treated with medicine in time.

4. Strengthen nutrition

After plucking the long-haired rabbit, a large amount of nutrition will be consumed during the re-growth of the rabbit hair. if the nutrition is insufficient, the rabbit hair will not only grow slowly, but also have poor quality and no luster. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain adequate nutrition before and after depilation, increase the content of protein, minerals and other trace elements, make it grow hair quickly and increase economic benefits.

5. Pay attention to environmental hygiene

After plucking, the body function of the long-haired rabbit will focus on the re-growth of the hair, while the resistance and immunity will decline. If the hygiene of the breeding environment is poor at this time, it can easily lead to the invasion of bacteria and microorganisms, resulting in infection and disease. Death in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen environmental hygiene after plucking, replace bedding grass regularly, keep the enclosure clean and dry, and disinfect regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and microorganisms. When plucking, wear disinfection gloves as much as possible, disinfect your hands directly, and prepare other disinfection tools.
