Don't blindly follow in Rex rabbit breeding.

The Rex rabbit originated in France and developed from the mutant of the ordinary rabbit. Because the fluff is short and neat, the fluff does not show the velvet surface, appears to be extremely beautiful, and has the reputation of the king of rabbits. The skin and flesh of the Rex rabbit can be used at the same time, the fur is very similar to the precious otter skin, it has a variety of uses, the whole body of the Rex rabbit is treasure, some people jokingly call it "Golden Rabbit"!

The Rex rabbit was introduced relatively late in our country. Due to the lack of breeding experience, the problem of "emphasizing introduction over breeding, emphasizing quantity over quality, emphasizing rabbit breed over feeding management" appeared during a period of time. Coupled with sporadic and scattered breeding, it was unable to form the advantages of raw materials and products at the beginning and end, unable to improve the quality and commodity advantages, which once restricted the development of Rex rabbit breeding industry. In recent years, with the hot sale of Rex rabbit fur clothing in the global market and the rapid expansion of market demand, it should be said that the Rex rabbit breeding industry has entered a normal development period of a virtuous cycle of commodity production.

The expansion of the scale of Rex rabbit breeding has also brought market marketing problems to some farmers. What is the market situation of Rex rabbit today? According to relevant information, high-quality Rex rabbit fur is in short supply in the international market. As the Rex rabbit fur products are moderately priced and easily accepted by consumers, its market demand exceeds that of any other fur products. Since the market prospect is good, can the Rex rabbit develop on a large scale? Relevant people in the animal husbandry sector believe that Rex rabbit breeding should not be carried out in a mass manner and should not be overheated blindly.

Rex rabbit breeding in many areas of China has the phenomenon of blind development in varying degrees. Among the existing rex rabbit farmers, a considerable number of people want to be cheap, ignore the selection and purchase of improved varieties, and introduce them blindly regardless of what kind of breeds are suitable for local breeding. Some farmers only buy breeding rabbits from small-scale professional households and retail investors. Cross through two kinds of rabbit breeds, because the genetic performance of hybrid rabbits is very unstable, the offspring are prone to serious character separation. What's more, some farmers buy commercial rabbits for breeding, resulting in more losses of breeding rabbits, less survival of their offspring, prevalence of various diseases and a vicious circle. Because some farmers do not understand scientific breeding, breeding techniques do not pass, the use of inbreeding, resulting in the small size of breeding rabbits. If the breeding of male rabbits is neglected, the elimination rate is high, and some even one-sidedly pursue the number of Rex rabbits, which directly leads to the degradation of the fur quality of Rex rabbits. In addition, farmers are used to disinfecting immediately after vaccination, thinking that this can completely eliminate pathogens, and many farmers are given large amounts of drugs to prevent stress reactions in rabbits, which affects the immune efficacy of rabbits. it eventually leads to the decline of immunity and even immune failure.

Rex rabbit breeding is a systematic project. Farmers should take measures according to local conditions, start on an appropriate scale and develop step by step. At the same time, because the Rex rabbit has poor heat and water exchange capacity, sensitive to temperature difference and climate change, and weak disease resistance, it can be beneficial only by relying on scientific breeding. Farmers should pay special attention to the selection of excellent breeds of Rex rabbits and do a good job of scientific breeding of fine breeds. In addition, before raising Rex rabbits, farmers should fully consider the problem of market marketing, and it is best to find a relatively stable sales channel in advance to reduce the risk of breeding.
