High temperature in summer is not suitable for long-haired rabbits how to manage long-haired rabbits in summer

The suitable temperature for long-haired rabbits is 10 ℃ ~ 25 ℃, and it will be uncomfortable when the temperature is lower than 5 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃. Therefore, the high temperature in summer is not conducive to the growth and development, fecundity and wool production of long-haired rabbits, so the summer management of long-haired rabbits needs to be strengthened.

Heat prevention and cooling: always open the doors and windows of the rabbit house to make the air circulate and maintain ventilation. If the rabbit house is outdoors, it is necessary to build an Arbor before the arrival of a rainy day to avoid direct sunlight; secondly, when the outdoor temperature reaches 38 ℃ or above, the rabbit house should be sprayed with cold water to cool down, and grass trees should be planted around the rabbit house. If conditions permit, fans or air conditioners can be installed in the rabbit house.

Strengthen feeding management: first, the amount of green feed in summer should be increased to ensure continuous water throughout the day, and an appropriate amount of electrolytic multivitamin can be added to drinking water; second, after depilation, mosquito bites should be prevented, and if the skin is broken, the potion should be applied in time; third, disinfect the source and cut off the pathogen transmission route. Nongfu, Nongshu and dibromohydantoin were disinfected once every 7-10 days. Adding appropriate amount of antibiotics to the feed regularly, such as oxytetracycline, norfloxacin and so on, can enhance the resistance of wool rabbits.

Medicine bath: medicine bath can accelerate the growth rate of rabbit hair, increase the wool yield, the hair color is white and bright, loose but not entangled, and prevent the occurrence of diseases such as scabies mites.

When taking a medicine bath, grab the rabbit's ear with one hand and put the rabbit into the bathtub so that the whole body of the rabbit is immersed in the liquid except the head, and the other hand washes the whole body of the rabbit from the bottom up, preferably to the ear and head.
