How to control rabbit coccidiosis? How to prevent and treat rabbit coccidiosis

Rabbit coccidiosis is a common and serious parasitic disease in rabbits. It mainly infects young rabbits aged 1 to 3 months, especially after weaning, which are most susceptible to the disease. Adult rabbits are mostly subclinical or carriers, and are pathogen spreaders.

The main characteristics are anemia, emaciation, diarrhea, stunted growth and development of young rabbits, and even death, the mortality rate is generally 50% 60%, some as high as 80% or more, adult rabbit weight loss 12% 27%.

The disease is mainly caused by healthy rabbits eating feed or drinking water contaminated with infected coccidiosis oocysts, and young rabbits are also susceptible to coccidiosis when they suddenly change feed and are malnourished. Therefore, cutting off the transmission link of coccidiosis and improving the resistance of rabbits is the key to prevent the occurrence of coccidiosis.

Preventive measures] 1) kill the oocysts in the feces Rabbit houses and rabbit cages should be cleaned frequently, and the feces should be accumulated and fermented for a period of time, and then used as fertilizer after eliminating coccidiosis oocysts.

2) Do a good job of environmental disinfection Rabbit houses and rabbit cages should be regularly washed with boiling water or disinfected with disinfectants, and the number of disinfection should be appropriately increased in the warm and rainy season.

3) Strictly prevent feed and drinking water from being polluted by rabbit manure Sick rabbit feces should not be used as fertilizer for green fodder base. In the epidemic season of the disease, the green fodder should be sprayed and disinfected with 1 4000 potassium permanganate solution, and clean well water or tap water should be drunk. When changing the feed, it should be changed gradually to allow the rabbit to have an adaptation process.

4) to avoid infected rabbits with insects Rabbits should be kept in separate cages with female rabbits after 26 days of age, and fed regularly.

5) Drug prophylaxis Female rabbits take 100 ml of iodine solution every day from 25 days of pregnancy to the sixth day after delivery, and after stopping for 5 days, take 200 ml of iodine solution every day for 1 month; From 3 days after weaning, the rabbit took 50 ml of iodine solution every day for 10 days, and after stopping for 5 days, it was changed to iodine solution, taking 70 ml per day for 15 days.

**Method: 1) Oral administration of chlorphenidine, 10 mg per kilogram of body weight, once a day, for 2 months.

2) Sulfadimethylpyrimidine is taken internally, 200 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, for 3 5 days; Or add feed proportionally for 3 days.

3) Bulbar dysentery or gram powder, 50 mg per kilogram of body weight, 2 times a day, for 5 days.

4) Cotrimoxazole, ** with 400 mg kg mixed feeding, take it for 7 days, stop for 3 days, and take it for another 7 days if necessary, which can reduce mortality. For prevention, 200 mg kg mixed feeding, 7 days, 3 days, and another 7 days as a course of treatment.

** and ** of rabbit coccidiosis.

One**. Rabbit coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by rabbit coccidiosis, weaned 4-month-old young rabbits are a frequent group, the incidence of wet and rainy seasons is higher, the onset of rabbits is thin, messy, lack of luster, diarrhea, anemia, and slow growth.

1.Poor feeding management conditions, rabbit house hygiene is not in place (often when the weather is warmer and the temperature rises).

2.The diet is not reasonable:

Malnutrition in young rabbits leads to poor immunity.

Rabbit diets are high in protein.

Rabbit diets are deficient in B vitamins.

Diseased individuals are brought in at the time of introduction.

2. Clinical symptoms.

1.Intestinal type: 20 60-day-old rabbits are more common, acute onset, intestinal mucosa sheds and bleeds, suddenly falls to the ground, head tilted, neck and limbs muscle stiffness spasm; There is sticky nasal fluid in the nasal cavity, the hind limbs are "scratched", screaming, and quickly die.

2.Hepatic type:

Coccidia parasitizes the liver, 30-90 days old susceptible, lack of energy, messy and dull coat, pale oral mucosa and conjunctiva; When palpating the liver, the rabbit is painful and uneasy, and in severe cases, intractable diarrhea, cramps, rapid emaciation, and death will occur.

3. Diagnosis: whether there are coccidiosis oocysts in the intestinal or liver tissues of sick rabbits.

4. **: Add sulfadiaquinoxaline dimethoxidine to the feed of the whole group of rabbits or add sodium amiproline hydrochloride sulfaquinoxaline in drinking water, **15 days; Injection of gentamicin with appetite loss, harmless treatment of dead rabbit carcasses.

Prevention and control of rabbit coccidiosis:

Rabbit coccidiosis of rabbit is a protozoal disease characterized by diarrhea caused by a variety of coccidiosis parasitic on the bile duct and intestinal epithelial cells of rabbits of the genus Eimeri, and is one of the main diseases that endanger the development of rabbit farming. The Dutch merchant Leeuwenhoek first discovered coccidiosis oocysts from rabbit bile ducts in 1677; Coccidia was first described by Hake in 1839; In 1865, Lindemann considered the coccidia to belong to the cluster and named it monocystisstiedae; In 1875 Schneider named it Amy.

Rabbit farms should be built in a dry and sunny place. The rabbit cage should be designed so that the feeding of forage and drinking water are outside the cage, so as not to contaminate the feed and drinking water with feces The bottom plate of the cage should have a mesh to facilitate the leakage of feces onto the fecal receiving board. It is best to have a movable cage floor that can be removed frequently to kill oocysts.

Do a good job of hygiene and regular disinfection. Clean up the manure on the rabbit house and the sports field 1 2 times a day, disinfect it with medicine every 15 20 days, and disinfect it with fire spray once a month.

It is necessary to ensure that the feed and drinking water are fresh, clean and hygienic, and not contaminated by rabbit feces. It is strictly forbidden to dissect sick rabbits in the rabbit house, especially in the drinking water, and the dead rabbits and their internal organs should be buried or burned to avoid scattering oocysts.

The big and small rabbits are caged. Adult rabbits have strong resistance to coccidiosis, and often do not show obvious symptoms even if they are infected, but their feces often excrete oocysts and are susceptible to infecting rabbits.

In addition, rabbits after recovery are also infectious**, therefore, these injustices must also be kept separately from healthy rabbits.

Protection against foreign pathogens. Newly purchased rabbits must be isolated and buried without coccidiosis in order to be gregarious. Exterminate rats, flies and other insects in rabbit farms.

The breeding season is arranged in conjunction with the school. Take 3 litters in spring and 2 litters in autumn, which can make young rabbits safely pass the dangerous period and scatter sail tracks.

Serve the full price of the word. Different proportions of full-price feed are allocated at different growth stages. In summer, we are fed with a variety of grasses, and in winter, we are fed with juicy ingredients. Do a good job of drug prevention.
