Breeding techniques of rabbits in summer

Summer is hot and hot, which is a bad season for rabbits. Rabbits have underdeveloped sweat glands, are not heat-resistant, have a poor diet in a high-temperature environment, and a high-temperature and humid environment is also conducive to the spread of germs. So how to raise rabbits in summer? let's take a look at the breeding techniques of rabbits in summer.

1. Prevent heat and cool down

Hot summer is not conducive to rabbit growth and reproduction, so summer must avoid mating and reproduction, to find a way to lower the temperature down. If it is open-air farming, you can build an Arbor to shade and avoid the sun, avoid direct sunlight, maintain good ventilation, and let the air flow away heat. In addition, you can start with the rabbit itself, cut off its whole body hair to dissipate heat, and the rabbit cage should not be too crowded. If it is indoor breeding, indoor ventilation is not as good as open air, so fans can be installed for artificial ventilation. Rabbits grow at a suitable temperature of 15-25 degrees, more than 30 degrees will die of heatstroke, can be sprinkled on the ground to cool down, and air conditioners and other tools can be installed to cool down.

2. Drinking water and diet

When the temperature reaches above 25 degrees, the amount of drinking water of rabbits will increase significantly, so it is necessary to provide adequate, fresh and clean drinking water in summer, and a little salt can be added to the drinking water to cool down. Rabbits have a poor appetite in high temperature season, so we should pay attention to the method of feeding. In summer, the temperature is the highest at noon, the day is long, and the night is cooler, so we must feed early in the morning and before the temperature rises. The temperature is high at noon and can be fed in a small amount. If the temperature is suitable in the evening, you can feed more. In addition, drinking water and feed must be fresh, do not feed wet, febrile and moldy feed, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal problems in rabbits, light diarrhea, severe death.

3. Disinfection and disease prevention

High temperature in summer is conducive to the growth and transmission of bacteria, in order to reduce the probability of disease, so the sanitary environment of the rabbit house must be cleaned once a day, regular large-scale disinfection. In addition, rabbits are easy to get sick in summer, and the most important thing is coccidiosis, which harms the intestines and stomach of rabbits, resulting in poor appetite and less diet. Adult rabbits have strong resistance, which will only lead to thinness and malnutrition, while young rabbits will die. It is best to be vaccinated regularly to reduce the incidence of the disease. In addition, careful observation, found that the disease of rabbits in time to isolate and deal with, so as not to infect other rabbits.

The above is the summer rabbit breeding technology brought to you by the pro-agricultural network. The high temperature in summer is a test for rabbit breeders. Be careful. Any small mistake may cause harm to the rabbit herd.
