Some notes on raising rabbits for the first time

Matters needing attention in raising rabbits for farmers

1. It is necessary to master the basic knowledge and market situation of raising rabbits: maintenance and exemption is also a science, and farmers engaged in raising rabbits should master the basic knowledge of raising rabbits, such as breeds, feed, the construction of rabbit houses and rabbit cages, and so on. Under the condition of market economy, what projects to operate should be decided according to the market situation. If you are ready to raise rabbits, you should read several books on raising rabbits, and it is best to subscribe to relevant newspapers and periodicals about breeding. You can also attend relevant training courses or visit relevant rabbit farms and markets according to your own conditions and needs.

2. Before the implementation of the rabbit raising plan, it is necessary to prepare the rabbit house and feed: as the saying goes, "before the soldiers move, food and forage comes first." First of all, the location of rabbit farm is particularly important, and the environmental conditions are directly related to the healthy reproduction, growth and development of rabbits. In addition to promoting compound feed for raising rabbits, farmers can also recommend raising rabbits according to local conditions.

3. Selection and breeding of fine breeds: the quality of the breed is the basis for the success or failure of the rabbit farm, especially the rabbit breeding farm. Therefore, you should be very careful when choosing breeding rabbits. What do you think of pure variety? A look at the appearance: each variety has a certain variety characteristics, all in line with the characteristics of the variety, generally considered to be purebred, otherwise it is a hybrid. The second is to look at the production performance, each variety has a certain body weight and production performance indicators, in line with the standard can be considered purebred, otherwise it is a hybrid. The third is to look at its parents: some advanced hybrids must see whether their parents conform to the characteristics of the variety. In addition, we can also make one-step identification of pure hybrids through testing and crossing, so we will not introduce them in detail here.

4. On the scale of raising rabbits: on the one hand, farmers do not pay attention to the idea of raising a small number of rabbits, and on the other hand, because there are few rabbits and less income, our country should also take the road of rabbit industry industrialization. Farmers should adapt to the local market and their own technology, capital, labor and feed conditions. Take the Rex rabbit as an example: it is appropriate to raise 30,000 basic rabbits in small rabbit farms, 300,500 in medium-sized rabbit farms, and more than 1000 basic rabbits in large rabbit farms. If commercial rabbits are raised, the number can be increased. Economies of scale should be considered, but we should not get rid of our own conditions and blindly pursue the establishment of a large rabbit farm.

The mindset of the breeders

1. When farmers operate rabbit industry or other breeding projects, they should hold the idea of small profit, not the idea of profiteering. It is unrealistic to get rich overnight, because the net profit is only when the income from breeding is subtracted from the cost. Operating commercial rabbits is originally a big profit, there is also the risk of loss outside the rabbit disease, so only down-to-earth, hard-working, rely on large-scale breeding to achieve high benefits.

2. Breeders should enhance their awareness of the market and should not be misled by some illusions, let alone follow the trend. Because under the condition of market economy, what kind of rabbit to raise and how much to raise should be based on market marketing as the basis for decision-making.

3. To enhance the awareness of quality, raising rabbits is not only to create a good living environment for rabbits, but also to pay attention to feed hygiene and nutrition, but also to adhere to the selection of species and matching, so that the quality of rabbit products can be guaranteed and high quality can be sold at a high price.

4. To enhance the concept of the legal system, to be a law-abiding rabbit farmer, can not use rabbits to fry seeds fraud.
