What are the taboos of raising rabbits?

What taboos do rabbit farmers have when raising rabbits?

1. Avoid moisture and pollution. Rex rabbits love to be dry and have weak disease resistance, so they must regularly clean rabbit cages and rabbit houses, clean feces, wash and feed utensils, disinfect them regularly, and keep them clean and dry, so that pathogenic microorganisms can not reproduce and parasitize, so as to prevent rabbit disease, epidemic and death.

2. Do not disturb. The Rex rabbit is timid and sensitive, so don't catch it easily or make a loud noise. It is forbidden to keep a quiet environment. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the intrusion of cats, dogs, weasels, snakes and so on.

3. Avoid extreme heat. Rex rabbit is afraid of heat because its sweat glands are underdeveloped and its whole body is covered with fluff. Therefore, in the summer rabbit house to shade ventilation, to prevent direct sunlight, pay attention to temperature and heat prevention.

4. Avoid single feed. Single feed can not meet the nutritional needs of Rex rabbits, affect appetite, and even cause nutritional deficiency. Therefore, in order to give the Rex rabbit a variety of rations, mainly green and thick, reasonable collocation.

5. Don't feed the Rex rabbit. Feed the rabbit at a fixed time and at a fixed time, in principle, make the rabbit eat well, not more or less, and never let the Rex rabbit tread while eating, which is not only a waste of feed, but also easy to be infected with disease.

6. Avoid sudden renewal of feed. If the feed is suddenly changed, it is easy to cause loss of appetite or overeating, resulting in gastrointestinal diseases and other adverse phenomena. When changing the feed, it is necessary to make a gradual transition so that the digestive machine of the Rex rabbit can gradually adapt to the process, which is beneficial to the digestion and growth of the rabbit.

7. Avoid feed deterioration and pollution. Do not feed rotten, moldy, trampled, contaminated, unidentified fodder, and green feed that has been sprayed with dew or pesticides and does not exceed the safe interval, let alone drink contaminated water. Feed for Rex rabbits. Be sure to be fresh, high quality and clean water.

8. Feeding and stopping at night on the anniversary of death. According to the rabbit's diurnal and nocturnal habits, Rex rabbits are fed more feed at night than during the day. In particular, a roughage should be fed at night. It is good for the health and weight gain of rabbits.

9. Avoid lack of water. The Rex rabbit is small and lively. The metabolism is exuberant and the water demand is very large. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish water in time according to the age, physiological condition, season, climate and feed nature of Rex rabbits.

10. Avoid inbreeding. In the specialized households of raising rabbits, the phenomenon of mating and reproduction between brothers in the same nest and between mother and son, father and daughter is common. Because of the close consanguinity, the offspring are often weak in physique, poor in disease resistance, slow in growth and development, resulting in the degradation of productivity, vitality and fur quality.

11. Avoid early mating. The sexual maturity of the Rex rabbit is earlier than the physical maturity, so it can not be considered that it can be mated and reproduced with the performance of oestrus. Generally, female rabbits need to start mating from May to June: the mating age of male rabbits is better than that of female rabbits by one month.

12. Avoid promiscuity and mismatch. In general, male rabbits should not mate more than twice a day and mate continuously for 3 days. One male rabbit should have no more than 60 ejaculation times a year. When re-breeding, it is strictly forbidden to have the same serious defects or opposite serious defects. Old age and old age are prohibited. Old and young, young and young rabbits mate, and old and young female rabbits should mate with adult male rabbits. Young male rabbits can only be matched with adult female rabbits. Usually when male and female rabbits mate in their prime, their offspring have the most stable heredity and the best vitality and production performance.

13. Avoid summer breeding. It is hot and rainy in summer. The female rabbit is abnormal in estrus and is not easy to conceive, and a few conceive and give birth. Due to hot weather, lack of appetite, lack of milk, poor development and poor management will lead to the death of nesting rabbits. Even if they can stand it, they die in large numbers because of poor development, weak physique and easy to be infected with coccidiosis after weaning. Some pregnant rabbits often suffer from heatstroke due to high temperature, causing miscarriage and dystocia. Male rabbits often cause testicular atrophy due to high temperature, poor semen quality and more dead sperm. Therefore, reproduction should be stopped in summer.

14. Abstain from weaning too early or too late. In general, the higher the mortality rate of young rabbits, the earlier they are weaned. If weaned too late, the young rabbits will rely on the milk of the female rabbits for a long time, which will affect the formation of various enzymes in the digestive tract and lead to the slow growth of the young rabbits. At the same time, it also has a direct impact on the health of female rabbits and the number of babies that reproduce every year. Therefore, the weaning of young rabbits should be 40-50 days.

15. Avoid blindly mixed breeding. When rex rabbits are raised in mixed groups, the infection is difficult to control and bite and fight is easy to occur. Generally, young rabbits should be reared in groups according to male, female, growth speed and body size. When caged, 4-5 young rabbits can be put in each cage. During the breeding period, male and female rabbits have begun to mature sexually. The female rabbit begins to estrus, and the male rabbit can produce sperm. Therefore, it is best for male and female rabbits to be raised in separate cages.

16. Avoid imperfect rules and regulations. Rabbits should be raised according to their living habits, different feeding methods, different types, different seasons and so on. Establish technical rules and regulations for feeding management and epidemic prevention, such as timing, quantity, temperature, quality, regular preventive injection and other management, etc.
