Breeding methods of long-haired rabbits

The long-haired rabbit is a kind of rabbit. It is a new type of rabbit introduced from abroad in the 1980s. When it was first introduced, the yield of the long-haired rabbit was not very high, but after the continuous improvement of the breeding technology in the later stage, the production of the long-haired rabbit has changed obviously, and the price and demand for rabbit hair are also increasing. The long-haired rabbit is listed as a poverty alleviation project by the state in many places. Then let's learn the method of raising long-haired rabbits.

1. Variety selection

The breed of long-haired rabbit is not single, when we choose the breed of long-haired rabbit, we should choose the breed that is relatively strong, the fur is more plump, the fur is more smooth, the disease resistance is strong and the rabbit hair lives in that fast breed. Because the genetics of long-haired rabbits are still relatively strong and very stable, so we have to select the best quality species when breeding. In this way, the economic benefit of breeding will be higher.

2. Construction of breeding farm

We all know that rabbits are relatively timid, so long-haired rabbits are no exception. Because long-haired rabbits have more hair and thicker hair, they are more afraid of heat. General farms will choose sunny places where the winter is warm and summer is cool, where the air is drier and where the air circulation is better and where it is relatively quiet. Yuanbao is raised in cages, so it is necessary to do a good job in three-dimensional breeding cages. And separate drinking and eating tanks should be set up.

3. Feeding and management

In the process of breeding, adult rabbits are generally a rabbit in a cage, which is more convenient to manage, and long-haired rabbits play a lot more than ordinary rabbits, so they can have enough space to move freely. But young rabbits need to be managed separately in the process of breeding, and it should be noted that female rabbits and male rabbits should be raised separately. Under normal circumstances, only three times a day need to be fed, once in the morning, once in the morning, once in the evening, mainly forage during the day and concentrate at night. If its growth is promoted in the future, they will sometimes be given extra meals in the evening. Finally, remember to feed them on time every day.

4. Daily management

The daily management of long-haired rabbits is actually very simple, that is, to clean up the farm and rabbit house in time every day, and to clean up the food residue in time after each feeding. Farms, rabbit cages, drinking water and diet troughs need to be disinfected every five to seven days to prevent bacterial infection.

5. Disease and epidemic prevention and control

Long-haired rabbits we mainly produce rabbit hair, in order to improve the quality and output of rabbit hair, so we need to prevent the occurrence of rabbit acariasis, each rabbit can be injected with an appropriate amount of avermectin after each shearing. At the same time, we should also be prepared to prevent rabbit plague and Pasteurella multocida, the specific use of drugs can consult.

6. Hastening and picking

In the process of raising long-haired rabbits, we need to feather it. We can use wine with ginger, leeks with soybeans, raw eggs, cystine, cod liver oil and other trace elements. Generally speaking, it takes only about three months to collect wool for the first time, otherwise it will affect the growth of rabbit hair and the quality of rabbit hair. Adult long-haired rabbits should be plucked at least once a year, collected twice, and the collected rabbit hair should be packed in stages.
