Key points of breeding and management of hare in winter

Now with the development of social economy, people's life is getting better and better, and the demand for game is also increasing. The hare is one of them, but with the increasing demand, the wild hare can no longer meet the market demand. Therefore, the number of artificial breeding is also increasing, but the breeding of rabbits needs to be managed well, especially in winter. The following editor brings you the key points of hare breeding and management in winter.

Let's have a look!

1. Keep warm in time

Heat preservation is the primary work of winter management. In winter, the doors and windows of the rabbit house should be closed and the rabbit house should be fully inspected to prevent air leakage and avoid the invasion of thieves. If it is raised outdoors, the cage mouth must be closed and insulated at night. Then open it during the day to ensure that the rabbit cage is ventilated and let the hare bask in the sun when there is sunshine. Avoid excessive temperature fluctuation, ensure temperature balance, if the temperature fluctuation is too large, the hare can not adapt in time, easy to catch cold.

2. Feeding and management

Most of the energy consumption of hare in winter is lower than the low temperature, and the consumption is high, so the food intake of hare in winter is much higher than that in other seasons. No matter what the age of the hare, it is necessary to increase the amount of feed and the proportion of energy in the feed. Because there is very little grass in winter, grasses such as ryegrass and vegetables such as carrots can be used as green feed to supplement vitamins in rabbits. And the winter night is relatively long, so we have to feed once in the evening, winter drinking water should be heated to more than 10 degrees, rabbits should not be allowed to drink cold water.

3. Reproduction management

Although the temperature is lower in winter, the incidence of the same disease will be reduced as a result. Young rabbits are relatively easy to survive, so it is very important to breed hare well in winter, but the low temperature and less green feeding in winter will affect the oestrus rate of female rabbits. Therefore, we should control the temperature above 12 in winter, increase the proportion of vitamins in feed, promote oestrus of rabbits, and pay attention to increase light at night. Only in this way can the hare mate and conceive and improve the fertility of the hare.

4. Disease prevention

Although the incidence in winter is low, there will be some diseases with high incidence in winter. For example, colds, diarrhea and pneumonia, so we can not relax the work of disease prevention, we should stabilize the temperature in the rabbit house, prevent the rabbit house from dampness and properly ventilate. When feeding feed, we should pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of feed, do not feed deteriorated and moldy feed, do not suddenly change the type of feed, and control the amount of feed to avoid eating too much. Regular observation of the growth of rabbits to achieve early disease detection and early treatment, reduce the degree of damage and avoid unnecessary losses.

The above is a brief introduction to the main points of hare breeding and management in winter. We mainly want to ensure the success of hare overwintering in winter. To improve the survival rate of overwintering and prevent the death of hares, many friends failed to raise them because of poor management in winter, which led to the death of hares. Therefore, we must do a good job in management in winter! That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
