A few taboos for beginners to raise rabbits

Many beginners, in the initial stage of raising rabbits, for example, they finally got 30 to 50 or 100 breeding rabbits in the end. At the beginning of raising rabbits, the first to second births, estrus, mating, breeding, breeding were relatively smooth, and the litter rate was relatively high. Although they did not do much necessary immune and management chores, the survival rate was also very high, and some of them could even reach about 95%. Looking at a litter of elf-like rabbits, I really like people. when it's time to sell, I see which rabbit is not willing to sell, even rabbits that can't breed at all and those who carry all kinds of germs are not willing to sell. They all want to keep seed and grow. And secretly complacent: it doesn't seem too difficult to raise rabbits. I don't have any experience and skills to raise rabbits very well. Wait a minute to be complacent, to the third to the fourth child, estrus is also difficult, mating is also difficult, the actual pregnancy rate is even rare, no matter how to match, or even three or four times can not conceive, a variety of problems in the rabbit farm also follow. I toss and turn, but I just don't understand why.

In fact, the reason is not complicated, the first child to the second child is easy to match and successfully conceive, that is because these novices are generally bought commercial rabbits (reputation is breeding rabbits, and spend the price of breeding rabbits), because there is no breeding, the nutrients accumulated in the early stage can basically ensure normal estrus and breeding. To the third to the fourth child, because, the front does not understand epidemic prevention and management, due to pregnancy, breast-feeding body overdraft is too large, nutrition is basically a serious lack of nutrition, coupled with the basic prevention is not to keep up with, all kinds of bacteria and viruses invade from all directions, need to supplement nutrition failed to make up in time, the later stage of the body has been completely out of balance, basic nutrition can not keep up with many diseases Therefore, it is very difficult to have the normal estrus as before, and it is easy to estrus, mate, and breed smoothly. You know, once a female rabbit lacks nutrition, it will be difficult to return to normal or close to health for a long time, which requires cooperation and follow-up from several aspects before it can be slowly restored as before. (for specific supplementary care, see my article: pregnancy management of first-born female rabbits. ). If this time can be remedied in time, it is not too late, unfortunately, many novice rabbit breeders did not follow up in time to find out the deficiencies and make up for them. Instead, they desperately want to develop and expand, are unwilling or unwilling to eliminate sick rabbits that should have been eliminated long ago and rabbits that are not suitable for breeding, and sell commercial rabbits born in the first few births to alleviate economic pressure and unreasonable expansion of the population. In this way, with the development for the sake of development, as a result, there are more rabbits, but the risks of feed, preventive drugs, labor, water, electricity and unknown are all gradually increasing, making oneself exhausted and the economic pressure soaring. It is only at this time that it is not easy to raise rabbits. It's not as easy as I thought it was.

If your financial ability is enough to support you in a certain period of time, rapid development without the need to sell rabbits to withdraw funds to ease the financial pressure, and enough to support your long-term steady development, then you can only produce but not sell. However, if you do not have considerable financial ability and the most scientific method, it is suggested that you must sell when you should sell. If you want to develop and keep the seed, you should also pick out a small part according to each batch and slowly supplement and grow up. At the same time, try to gradually eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, poor motherhood and other female rabbits or breeding rabbits, supplement and increase them with young backup female rabbits or male rabbits in time, and develop and expand the population. Not only can you reduce the financial pressure when you have an income, but you can also expand as your experience accumulates and matures. When you have certain experience or technology, and then develop and expand, it will not be easy to be in a hurry or even lose money. Isn't it easier and safer? A person, when you have a normal income and basic expenditure, you will not feel much pressure, not to mention that this is the initial stage where you must accumulate experience.

I have been to countless rabbit farms, and as soon as I entered the rabbit farm, I asked the people of this rabbit farm: the little rabbits in this rabbit farm before or after the full moon often appear to get out of the cage and run around on the ground. after you get the rabbit back into the cage, usually within three days, these rabbits who are brought back to the cage will die immediately, and the mortality rate is as high as 96%. When they heard this, they immediately said, "Yes, how do you know that?" Why is that? The reason is very simple: the immunity of these rabbits is not done well, the conventional antibodies are not produced, and your rabbit farm disinfection can not keep up with, let alone disinfect thoroughly, although the surface looks very clean, but bacteria can not be washed and killed by ordinary water. Bacteria, poison, insect eggs and so on naturally breed and spread wantonly on the ground. These little rabbits have no immune antibodies or are relatively weak, and their bodies are very easy to be invaded by harmful bacteria, poison and insect eggs. In the case that the ground is not thoroughly disinfected or disinfected incorrectly, it is caught inside and outside, which can not be resisted quickly and lead to rapid death. And these rabbit friends do not know what reason, often judged that there is a problem with the feed, or caused by one kind of problem, that is, they do not know self-examination. Internal reasons do not want to blame, but like to shirk responsibility, always looking for external reasons, so as to subconsciously find themselves a reasonable reason, put off the result of not doing a good job of raising rabbits, in order to achieve the goal of peace of mind.

I can often see that the initial development of many new rabbit farms is relatively smooth, although there is no systematic epidemic prevention at all, even the basic prevention procedures are not done, and the environment is relatively poor. But the breeding and breeding are quite smooth. When his population reached a certain amount or a certain scale, he immediately got into trouble, wisely looked everywhere for reasons, hoping to make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible, muddled complaining, and even blamed all the problems on others. Subconsciously, he wants to blame all the problems, no matter whether it is someone else's fault or not, or even if he can't hit the par 8, he can blame others. In fact, this kind of behavior is not responsible to yourself, because when you don't figure out the reason, the first thing you think about is to shirk the responsibility, not to find out the problem responsible. in order to shirk the responsibility, it is very difficult to analyze the cause attentively again. Naturally, you will ignore the root of the problem. When a responsible person has a problem in his rabbit farm, he should first find the cause, prevention, environment, disinfection, feed feeding, etc., whether he has done enough, and then analyze the external causes. Will there be any problem with the feed, whether the vaccine is fake or expired, whether the method is right, whether the dose is insufficient, leakage, etc., after analysis and elimination Then find out the root cause of the problem, so that it is easy to determine what causes the above causes.
