What problems should be paid attention to when raising rabbits as economic animals

<> Chinese White Rabbit (details).

Now many people raise rabbits as pets, there are some areas, raising rabbits for economic benefits, to increase family income, the former we do not table, but rabbits as economic animals to raise, pay attention to the following issues.

First, the basic knowledge and market to be mastered

Raising and exempting is also a science, and farmers engaged in rabbit raising should master the basic knowledge of rabbit raising, such as breed, feed, rabbit house and rabbit cage construction. Under the conditions of the market economy, what project should be decided according to the market, and it is best to subscribe to the newspapers and periodicals related to breeding. You can also participate in relevant training courses or visit the relevant rabbit farms and markets according to your own conditions and needs.

Second, before the implementation of the rabbit plan, it is necessary to prepare rabbit houses and feed

The so-called "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first". First of all, the location of rabbit farms is particularly important, and environmental conditions are directly related to the healthy reproduction and growth and development of rabbits. In addition to promoting compound feed rabbit breeding, farmers can also plant grass to raise rabbits according to local conditions.

3. Select and raise excellent varieties

The quality of the breed is the basis for the success or failure of the rabbit farm, especially the rabbit farm. Therefore, you should be especially careful when buying breeding rabbits. What do you think about the pure miscellaneous varieties?

One look at the appearance: each breed has certain breed characteristics, and everything that meets the characteristics of the breed is generally considered to be purebred, otherwise it is a hybrid. The second is to look at the production performance, each variety has a certain weight and production performance indicators, and those who meet the standards can be considered purebred, otherwise they are hybrids.

The third is to look at its parents: some high-generation progressive hybrids must see whether their parents meet the characteristics of the breed. In addition, it is also possible to make a one-step identification of the pure miscellaneous varieties through testing and crossing, which will not be described in detail here.

Fourth, on the scale of rabbit raising by farmers

Farmers raise a small number of rabbits, on the one hand, the idea is not important, rabbits are not good, on the other hand, because of the lack of rabbits, the income of rabbits is also small, China should also take the road of rabbit industrialization. Farmers should adapt to the local market and their own technology, capital, labor and feed conditions. Take the rex rabbit as an example:

Small rabbit farms should raise 30 50 basic female rabbits, 300 500 medium-sized rabbit farms, and more than 1000 basic rabbits can be raised in large rabbit farms; If you raise commercial rabbits, the number can be increased. Economies of scale should be considered, but we can't get rid of our own conditions and blindly pursue a large-scale rabbit farm.

Rabbits are a relatively late domesticated domestic animal in the history of animal husbandry, and people have a relatively late understanding of their economic value. It was not until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century that rabbits were bred as economic animals that attracted attention all over the world. At the same time, under the influence of Mendel's theory of genetic law and the internationalization of breeding work, the promotion of standard words, rabbit breeding, scientific research and production have developed rapidly, in 1992, in the United States held at the Fifth World Rabbit Science Congress to provide information shows that there are a total of 103 rabbit breeding countries, relatively some have good breeding management technology, can ensure the survival rate of rabbits, feed remuneration, cost control, and can produce qualified goods.

According to the survey, the development of rabbit breeding in China has great advantages in resources, markets and many other aspects.

With the continuous improvement of the living standards of people all over the world, the commodity value of rabbits has been continuously highlighted, and it has great market development value; These include: rabbit biological health care, the wide use of rabbit serum, the value of rabbit bone in traditional Chinese medicine, rabbit feces bio-organic fertilizer can be exerted and so on.

Raising pet rabbits must be fed scientifically, rabbits are suitable for eating high-fiber food, young rabbits are prepared with dried alfalfa grass, adult Douzheng rabbits are prepared with dried Timothy grass as a staple food, rabbit food is supplemented, and clean drinking water is also essential. Rabbit reform to slow down the house to keep dry and ventilated, clean up the bedding once or twice a day, prepare a toilet to guide the rabbit to excrete at a fixed point, and put the rabbit out to play for at least two hours every day, so that you can get a happy, happy and healthy rabbit.

1. The disinfection and cleaning measures of the breeding environment should be in place, especially the manure tray should be cleaned regularly, and the accumulation and fermentation of manure will produce ammonia and breed some pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Feed rabbits regularly and quantitatively to reduce hypoglycemia and malnutrition due to insufficient food.

3. Do a good job in disease prevention and parasite killing.

4. Rabbit supplies should be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

Be careful not to feed food with too high water content to rabbits, such as cabbage, watermelon, white radish, etc., which can easily cause diarrhea, and once diarrhea will be life-threatening.

Feeding rabbits requires care not to give the rabbit too much water, let alone moist food, preferably dry.

1. Keep the environment quiet and feed at night. Rabbits are out at night, close their eyes during the day, eat very little, in addition to the essential daily management work, the surrounding environment of the rabbit house should be kept quiet, try not to hinder the rabbit sleeping; Energetic eating increases at night, so it is important to feed enough forage at night, preferably once before going to bed.

2. Maintain environmental hygiene. Rabbits prefer a clean and dry environment, so make sure the rabbit house is clean and well-ventilated. In a humid and dirty environment, it is also easy to cause the spread of rabbit infectious diseases and parasites.

3. Don't be frightened. Rabbits are timid by nature and can be keenly aware of the slightest movement. In the feeding management, the action should be light and steady, and at the same time prevent people or other animals such as dogs, cats, rats, snakes, etc. from entering the rabbit house.

4. The feed is mainly grass, supplemented by material. Homemade granules or ready-made materials can easily lead to the proliferation of germs and endotoxin, so they should be used with caution. Wild or planted grass is soft and juicy, palatability, high digestibility, and can loosen food into the stomach and intestines, which is conducive to fecal excretion, and should be the main food for rabbits.

5. Timely disinfection. The cage must be cleaned every day, utensils, rabbit houses, and rabbit cages should be washed frequently, and the feces should be disinfected regularly with disinfectants, and the bedding should be cleaned and replaced frequently, and the feces discharged by themselves should be removed in time. In the process of feeding, the health status of rabbits should be often observed, early detection, early diagnosis, early **, sick rabbits should be isolated and raised.

6. Rabbits like to bite, and should be taken into account in the design of the cage. It should be noted that the cage should be made of materials that rabbits do not like to chew on, so as to extend the service life. In addition, it is necessary to provide conditions for teeth grinding frequently, such as putting more wooden sticks or hard-textured food in the cage for rabbits to chew on, which helps the feed to chew and digest.

First of all, pay attention to the breed of rabbit and try to choose rabbits with relatively pure genes. When introducing rabbits, it is necessary to choose rabbits with quarantine certificates. The body structure of the rabbit is relatively complete, and the mental state of the rabbit is excellent.

Stress factors should be taken into account in the selection of breeding rabbits.

When the new rabbit (household) is purchased as a breeding rabbit, in addition to focusing on the selection of breed characteristics are obvious, dense hair, pure coat color, good hair quality, normal development, good nutrition, but also focus on the weight requirements of more than 2 0 kg, and the physique is strong, do not choose old, frail and young rabbits. Because of various unhealthy factors and young rabbits, the stress response in transportation is greater, which is not conducive to achieving a higher survival rate after transportation, resulting in the failure of introduction. Therefore, when buying breeding rabbits, you should consider the success of breeding, if you simply pursue the lowest level, it will backfire.

When choosing rabbits, we should first consider whether the rabbit's body is strong, how long the breeding time is, what is the breed of rabbit, and it is cheaper to buy rabbits in **. When is the best season to start raising rabbits?

It is necessary to consider the problem of good breed, to observe the size and appearance of the rabbit, to take into account the incidence of the rabbit, and also to pay attention to the age ratio of the rabbit. Try not to choose a relatively low disease resistance.

To consider the breed question, to observe the size and appearance of the rabbit, to take into account the rabbit hair rate, but also to pay attention to the rabbit age ratio. Try not to have low resistance.

1. Rabbits are a bit like cats, with independent personalities, but sometimes they are very clingy and afraid of loneliness, so be sure to find time to play with it every day.

2. If there is no safe space to raise (such as a balcony), it can also be kept in a cage, and the space of the cage should be large (the cage for small dogs can, preferably a rabbit cage for rabbits). It should not be kept in a cage all the time, and it should be released for more than one to two hours a day. Always keep it dry, ventilated, and sunny, and don't let the rabbit house get damp.

3. Prepare a feed bowl and a small ball-bearing kettle in the cage, a clean wood (poplar) with a diameter of 5-10 cm for it to grind its teeth, and put some dry sawdust and straw (no dry towel is fine). And the standing board (unnecessary mat, coaster or something) prevents rabbits from getting foot dermatitis.

4. Rabbits are omnivorous, eat more meals and eat less, you can buy rabbit feed in the bird park (online shopping is also very good), and you can also add some cereal or molar feed to the feed.

5. In order to balance nutrition, don't just feed feed, sometimes you can feed vegetables and fruits (limited to rabbits). For example, water spinach, celery, sweet potato leaves, carrots, apples...Wait a minute. It should be noted that it is best not to contain pesticides, it should be thoroughly cleaned, and after washing, it should be placed in a ventilated place to dry for 1 2 hours (not exposed to the sun), and then wipe the remaining water dry with kitchen paper towels (not too wet, otherwise it will have diarrhea, and it will be difficult to treat a diarrhea).

6. Female rabbits who have given birth to baby rabbits cannot be kept with male rabbits. Female rabbits do not give birth until a month after mating. In ordinary families, family rabbits are raised, Japanese rabbits, white rabbits, and hares ......And so on these breeds, it doesn't matter if different breeds of rabbits are kept together.

In fact, if it is domestic, it is best not to raise two, the same sex may fight, the opposite sex 2 months a litter of rabbits, to be divided into cages or sterilized. )

7. The bunnies you just bought must be prevented from coccidia! Feed bunny coccidiosis medicine before you name it! Otherwise, Bunny will go to heaven 3-30 days after arriving home.

For specific usage, please refer to coccidiosis medicine, including coccidial blood dysentery, coccidiosis killing, etc. In addition, it is best to always have lactase raw tablets to prevent rabbits from having diarrhea.
