Matters needing attention in Rex rabbit breeding in winter

Rex rabbit is a medium-sized breed of rabbit. Because of its fast growth, short feeding cycle, low breeding cost, high benefit and easy feeding, Rex rabbit has been favored by domestic and foreign markets and is one of the best projects to get rid of poverty and become rich. Management is extremely important when raising Rex rabbits, especially in winter, if it is not properly managed, it will restrict the rapid development of production. Therefore, the breeding and management of Rex rabbits in winter should pay attention to the following points:

Temperature

In winter, the best temperature for Rex rabbit growth should be 15: 25 ℃. Overcooling and overheating have great influence on its physiological function, which should not be lower than 10 ℃ and higher than 29 ℃. There are generally three ways to increase the temperature of the house:

The main results are as follows: 1. Increase the feeding density and increase the temperature by dissipating heat from the rabbit body.

2. Try to reduce the ventilation to a minimum in order to preserve the heat generated by the rabbit.

3. Cover the rabbit house with transparent plastic film before and after, in order to make full use of the sunlight, increase the amount of indoor lighting as much as possible, and realize artificial warming. Conditions can also be installed in the house heating equipment, such as heating, electric heater, stove and so on.

Light

Sufficient and reasonable light is a necessary condition for the normal growth and development of Rex rabbits. Artificial light and natural light are usually used. The Rex rabbit can obtain good production performance under the condition of 1216 hours of light every day.

Ventilation and ventilation

As the disease resistance of Rex rabbits is weak, so it is very important to do a good job in rabbit house ventilation. Mainly install ventilation device to strengthen automatic ventilation; you can also open doors and windows from 11:00 to 2pm every day and use natural wind to ventilate.

Scientific collocation of feed

Rex rabbit is a herbivore, because artificial breeding completely feeding grass can not meet the nutritional needs of Rex rabbit, so in daily feeding, in addition to feeding some fresh feed in a planned way, it is necessary to be equipped with full-price pellet feed according to a certain proportion. The advantages of full-price pellet feed are: it is not cold in winter, not moldy in summer, Rex rabbit likes to eat, nutrition is comprehensive. The formula is: soybean cake or soybean meal 15%, corn 10%, wheat bran 19%, straw or weed meal 50%, fish meal 3%, bone meal 1.5%, salt 0.5%, auxin additive 1%.

Prevention and treatment of rabbit disease

Epidemic disease is the great enemy in Rex rabbit breeding. The policy of "giving priority to prevention and combining prevention with prevention" should always be carried out.

1. Always clean the rabbit cage and rabbit house in time, wash it frequently with utensils, clean up the dirt and disinfection in time, do a good job in indoor environmental hygiene, disinfect the room once a month in winter, and disinfect drugs can be used for soda water, disinfectant, fire alkali and so on.

2. Rabbits should be injected with rabbit plague vaccine and Pasteurella multocida vaccine to enhance their own resistance, improve and accelerate the growth and development of Rex rabbits.

3. When feeding, we should be good at observation, timely treatment of rabbits with diseases, and early detection and treatment of diseases.
