Breeding techniques of Rex Rabbit

The Rex rabbit is named because of its appearance and fur like an otter. Rex rabbit is not a common rabbit breed. It is native to France and is famous in the world for its supple and smooth hair. In addition, it is also used as a pet or improved other species, which has significant economic value and is raised all over the world. The following pro-farm network brings you its breeding technology.

1. Select improved varieties

The selection of Rex rabbit is very important. Before breeding, the breeds with strong physique, good mental state, active wave, strong disease resistance and good hair should be selected. These breeds have larger individuals and grow faster, especially when choosing male rabbits with strong and strong libido, so as to ensure the quality of sperm. Female rabbits choose those with high litter size and exuberant milk secretion. In the process of breeding, in order to prevent the degradation of rabbits, it is necessary to constantly introduce improved breeds and carry out blood replacement.

2. Rabbit house construction

The breeding requirements of Rex rabbits are higher, and they are more delicate than ordinary rabbits, and they are easy to get sick, so the construction of rabbit houses is also very important. In places where the wind is sunny, the terrain is flat and dry, and the transportation is convenient, the rabbit house should be protected against cold and heat, and ensure adequate light and good ventilation. In addition, in order to facilitate cleaning and disinfection, the indoor ground is generally higher than the outdoor ground.

3. Reasonable ingredient feeding

Because Rex rabbit is a kind of leather rabbit, its main value is related to the quality of hair, and the nutrients in feed are directly related to its hair quality. Therefore, feeding should be reasonably matched with feed, especially protein must be sufficient, and sulfur amino acids must be fed at a fixed time every day, not more or less. Rex rabbit is highly dependent on the same kind of feed in the feeding process, feeding taboo soil to change feed, otherwise it will lead to Rex rabbit refusing to eat and thin or starving to death, even if it has to be changed, it is necessary to slowly adjust the feed ratio until it adapts to it. Feed must be fresh, do not feed rotten and spoiled feed.

4. Feeding and management

The feeding environment is very important for the growth of Rex rabbits, such as Rex rabbits adapt to the growth temperature of 16-25 degrees, too high and too low temperature has different consequences, which is not conducive to the growth of Rex rabbits. In addition, sufficient light conditions also determine the productivity of the Rex rabbit, to ensure that the light will be about 16 hours tomorrow. Rex rabbits like dry environment, dark and damp rabbit houses are not conducive to growth, it is necessary to clean up Rex rabbit excreta regularly every day, keep the house clean and hygienic, reduce the possibility of microorganisms and bacteria breeding, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The above is the breeding technology of the Rex rabbit brought to you by the pro-agricultural network, and the Rex rabbit has to control its weight when it is bred. According to research, the weight of the Rex rabbit exceeding 5kg will be disadvantageous to its growth and reproduction, and it is best to control it in the range of 3.5-4.5kg.
