Requirements for rabbit house construction of hare

The environment of hare breeding red rabbit house is closely related to the growth, development, health and reproduction of hare. There are many factors that affect the environment of rabbit house, such as temperature, humidity and so on.

Temperature

The sweat gland of the hare is extremely underdeveloped, and the body surface has a thick coat, so it is more sensitive to environmental temperature. According to the experiment, the optimum temperature of young hare, young hare and adult hare is 3035 ℃, 2025 ℃ and 1520 ℃ respectively. The ambient temperature should be taken into account when building a house. The hare has a strong tolerance to low temperature, and the healthy hare can survive normally in the environment of-40 ℃, but it needs to consume more nutrients in order to maintain body temperature.

Humidity

Wild rabbits like dry environment, the most suitable relative humidity is 60% ~ 65%, generally should not be less than 55% or more than 70%. The environment of high temperature and high humidity and low temperature and high humidity is harmful to rabbits, which is not conducive to heat dissipation in summer or heat preservation in winter, and is easy to be infected with parasitic diseases in vivo and in vitro.

According to production practice, excessive air humidity often leads to damp cages, pollution of hair, conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and parasites, causing the spread of scabies and eczema. On the contrary, the rabbit house air is too dry, long-term humidity is too low, causing respiratory tract mucosa dry crack, and lead to bacteria, virus infection and so on.

In view of the above, the humidity in the rabbit house should be kept stable as far as possible. The excretion and urine of the hare, the water vapor exhaled and the moisture of washing the ground are the main reasons for the increase of humidity in the rabbit house. In order to reduce the humidity in the house, you can strengthen ventilation, or sprinkle quicklime, plant ash, etc., and rinse with water as far as possible when cleaning in rainy and wet seasons.

In addition, ventilation, light, noise and dust affect the normal growth and development of rabbits, which are not discussed here.
