Methods to improve the survival rate of young rabbits

The rabbit is very fragile when it is just born, and raising the rabbit actually needs a lot of technology, especially how old the baby rabbit is when it is just born. Once there are any diseases or accidental injuries, it is basically very difficult to save. The survival rate is very low, so this is a very troubling problem for breeders, so today the editor will tell you how to improve the survival rate of baby rabbits!

I. the reasons for the low survival rate of young rabbits.

1. Young rabbits have very high requirements for the growth environment. Young rabbits have just been born and the following period of time is the period of fastest growth. During this period, the weight of young rabbits is also the fastest. Under normal circumstances, they can grow 30 or 40 grams per day, and grow up to 50 grams a day.

2. The growth rate and feed supply correspond to each other, so the faster the growth rate of young rabbits is, the more energy they consume, so while we are growing, we should provide it with enough energy. Feed supply and feed components should also be rich, not too single, to ensure uniform nutrition, the gastrointestinal capacity of young rabbits is too small is also one of the reasons.

3. The young rabbit's ability to adapt to the environment is very poor, once the environment suddenly changes, it is difficult to accept, its neural response function is relatively weak, a frightened will lose appetite, digestive function decline and other problems, but also hold back the disease.

4. There are many external factors, and a series of stimuli from young rabbits to adult rabbits have a great impact on them, such as weaning, feed change, vaccine injection and so on. This can easily lead to the decline of its resistance and premature death.

5. It is also mentioned earlier that its resistance is poor, and there are the most germs in the cage, so it is easy to die of bacteria, such as some very common E. coli, Pasteurella multocida, and so on. Because the breeder's negligence did not pay attention to vaccination, it is easy to wipe out the baby rabbits.

Second, how to improve the survival rate

1. First of all, the stage of weaning is the stage of weaning. For example, many rabbits stop their lives here, and it is very easy to die after three weeks of weaning, so we have to focus on the management of young rabbits in the second week, which is the critical time for them to survive weaning. If the rabbit has a heavier body weight after weaning, its survival rate will be higher, so gaining weight is a very feasible method.

2. in addition to weaning, it is feed, and many rabbits die of feed, failing to adapt to the new feed when changing the feed, resulting in digestive system problems, so we prepare feed as far as possible to regulate its digestive system with roughage and properly supplement vitamins to regulate nutritional balance.

These are the ways to improve the survival rate of young rabbits, and the low survival rate of young rabbits is mainly due to these reasons, as long as we do a good job in feed management and measures after weaning.
