Basic knowledge of rabbit breeding

Raising rabbits is a common project at present. Generally, as long as you master some basic knowledge, you can get started. This basic knowledge is very important for later breeding, and the choices are made according to the habits of rabbits. So what is the basic knowledge of raising rabbits that everyone needs to master? Let's learn about it together and perfect what a rabbit farmer should know.

1. Times of feeding

The first point is, of course, feeding, rabbit breeding is good or bad, feeding accounts for most of the factors. Young rabbits, female rabbits are in need of supplementary nutrition, pay attention to eat more and eat less, so as to maximize the absorption of nutrients, can be fed three times a day. The rabbits in the fattening stage are fastidious about satiety, so the fattening speed is fast, and the digestion time when the rabbits are full at this time is about 8 hours, so it is generally 2-3 times a day. The specific times of feeding can vary according to the situation, and you can feed more food if you can eat.

2. Hygiene

The immune mechanism of the rabbits themselves will be a little worse, so more attention should be paid to hygiene. The main sanitary effects are the cleaning of rabbit house feces and the cleaning of residual food, both of which are more exposed to rabbits. The rabbit house is cleaned about 2-3 times a week, and the leftover food needs to be cleaned after each feeding. Don't keep the food overnight. In addition to the fattening effect of fresh food, it can also reduce the probability of disease.

3. Breeding

Mating is relatively difficult for rabbit farmers to control, but rabbit farmers have to face this situation. If the rabbit is not in estrus, then the male and female can be separated for a period of time to urge them to estrus, and then mating, so that the effect will be better. In addition, the time for each breeding of rabbits is about 20-30 minutes, so don't be impatient. A female rabbit can be bred many times a year to increase the litter yield, the number of times is 5-8 times, high-quality breeding rabbits should be more breeding, almost can give up some appropriately, so as to ensure the quality of the rabbit.

4. Vaccine

Vaccine is the key to preventing diseases in rabbits, which makes them immune to some common diseases. Generally speaking, meat rabbits need to be vaccinated twice or so, once when young rabbits are young, and then injected again during the disease-prone period. Breeding rabbits need long-term breeding, its immunity is very critical, will affect the production of young rabbits, vaccination should be controlled in half a year, do not frequently inject vaccine, otherwise it will affect the quality of breeding rabbits.

5. Separation time

The separation of the rabbit cage is also more important. If the density is too high, the rabbit will fight, and there will be many more injured rabbits. For the first time, the female rabbits were raised separately from the head map, and the time was about 2 weeks after the young rabbits were weaned. The second separation of the cage is in the long too large, the current rabbit cage is no longer adapted to the situation, the time is generally about 3-5 months after the first separation. Some breeds of rabbits are more docile and can be varied in one cage, while others are not suitable. It is best to know clearly when buying seedlings.

The above is some basic knowledge of raising rabbits. I hope I can help you. Raising rabbits is actually relatively simple, as long as you know more about its habits.
