Is it suitable to raise long haired rabbits in summer, and what should I pay attention to?

Long-haired rabbits have thick and dense skin, sweat glands are very underdeveloped, and are more sensitive to high temperatures, and often produce heat stress reactions in summer, and when the temperature rises to 30, feed intake generally decreases; When the temperature rises above 35, it will cause rapid breathing, increased heartbeat, tilting of the head, redness of the ears, and immobility, and if the water supply is insufficient, heat stroke will occur. At the same time, the summer is rainy, and the forage feed is prone to moisture and mildew, and if the feeding management is slightly sparse, it is easy to cause stomach distension, diarrhea and other diseases. In order to improve the economic benefits of summer long-haired rabbit breeding, the following technical points should be mastered:

1. Select and make use of natural advantages to improve the rabbit environment.

2. Shade to prevent heatstroke and reduce stress.

3. Dehumidification and anti-stuffiness, ventilation.

Fourth, adjust the feed and feeding methods.

5. Reduce feeding density, shear and dissipate heat in a timely manner.

6. Control breeding and reproduction, and recuperate.

7. Do a good job of environmental cleanliness and hygiene.

8. Strengthen epidemic prevention and control.

The fur of hairy rabbits is thick and dense, and the glands are underdeveloped. Sensitive to high temperatures, slightly negligent feeding management, easy to cause bloating, diarrhea and other diseases. In order to improve the economic effect of summer long Benton feeding, the following technical points should be emphasized.

Choose and use nature's strengths to improve the rabbit environment. First of all, it is necessary to select and create a good rabbit environment, such as site selection. It is recommended to choose a place with high terrain, good ventilation, relatively flat and a slightly steep slope.

There are water sources with good water quality and abundant water nearby, preferably springs, streams and tap water.

The sandy soil with good permeability is conveniently located in the transportation area. Railways and highways, quiet and pollution-free places, are conducive to the long-term development of the rabbit industry. Shade and heat to reduce stress.

It is usually necessary to create an external environment conducive to summer rabbit breeding in advance around the premises. Before the arrival of the high temperature season, the rabbit group generally has to shear to cool down. If a rabbit is found to have symptoms such as drooling, fever, proptosis, paralysis, and spasms of the limbs, it is heat stroke.

At this time, the sick rabbit can be quickly transferred to a cool place, the head can be smeared with a wet towel, the venous blood of the ears and tail can be added, and 20-30 ml of cold water, 3-4 drops of water or 5-8 grains of phosphorus can be injected.

Prevent dehumidification and stuffiness, ventilation and ventilation. Summers are rainy and humid in the air, and high temperatures and humidity are not conducive to the growth and reproduction of rabbits. For this purpose, the wild rabbit house must be built in a shady warehouse for shade.

Indoor rabbit houses should be set up with screens at this time, and the windows should be opened to promote air convection exchange. In hot weather, you can place clean bricks soaked in cold water inside the rabbit's cage and pack them in plastic bags on the outside to lower the temperature on the rabbit's compound bricks to prevent heat stroke.

If possible, a fan hair dryer can be installed in the rabbit house. Promotes heat generation and ventilation. Dehumidification can be done by sprinkling plant ash or dry lime on the damp ground every day.

In rainy weather, the windows should be temporarily closed to prevent rainwater from flowing indoors, aggravate moisture, and remove the stagnant water around the rabbit house in time to prevent indoor dampness. Adjust the feed and feed ** method, according to the characteristics of the summer. Adjusting the feed mix of rabbits, appropriately reducing energy feed, increasing the proportion of protein feed, and increasing the use of green and gravy feed should be the general principles of raising summer rabbits.

Due to the general reduction in feed intake of rabbits in summer, the feed should be relatively precise. The crude protein in its diet is slightly higher than the previous standard, and the energy is slightly lower than the original standard. Raising rabbits in the summer should be strict.

The best way to raise long-haired rabbits in summer is to clean up the hair of long-haired rabbits frequently, and to often clean the rabbit cage of long-haired rabbits, and often sterilize and disinfect the rabbit cages of long-haired rabbits, and also to disinfect the home frequently, and often bathe long-haired rabbits, and often feed long-haired rabbits with deworming drugs, which are all wonderful tips for raising long-haired rabbits.

When raising this kind of rabbit in summer, it is best to put it outdoors, the cage made of iron will be cooler, spread hay and send the rabbit will not get sick, feed it a little more water, feed, you can grow up.

When feeding, be sure to feed some good feed to the long-haired rabbit, so as to greatly contribute to the growth of the long-haired rabbit. And in the process of breeding, you must not play long-haired rabbits at will, you must treat them with a gentle tone, and you must always pay attention to the state of long-haired rabbits, if the state is not right, you must go to the veterinarian in time. And also pay attention to the warm state of the long-haired rabbit, if there is a rainstorm, be sure to keep the long-haired rabbit in the house.

1. Humidity, long-haired rabbits like a dry environment, the most suitable relative humidity is 58 66, generally should not be lower than 55 or higher than 68. High temperature and high humidity and low temperature and high humidity environment have all kinds of harm to long-haired rabbits, which is not conducive to heat dissipation in summer, nor is it conducive to heat preservation in winter, and is also easy to be infected with parasitic diseases in vitro and in vivo. According to production practice, excessive air humidity often leads to dampness in the cage, pollutes the coat, and affects the quality of rabbit hair; It is conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and parasites, causing the spread of scabies and eczema.

2. The air in the rabbit house is too dry and the long-term humidity is too low, which can also lead to rough coat and poor rabbit hair quality; It causes dry cracking of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, and incurs bacterial and viral infections. In view of the above, the humidity in the rabbit house should be kept as stable as possible. Talking about the feces and urine discharged by the long-haired rabbit with vertical keys, the water vapor exhaled, and the moisture that washes the ground are the main reasons for the increase in humidity in the rabbit house.

In order to reduce the humidity in the house, you can strengthen ventilation, or sprinkle quicklime, plant ash, etc., and try not to wash the nucleus with water when cleaning the house in the rainy and humid season.

First of all, the rabbit must be kept in a cage, you can let him out for a walk, but not all the time. After all, rabbits also need to have their own resting places, so be sure to have a cage so that you can occasionally take him out for a walk, and it will be convenient for you to clean up.

Second, the rabbit's learning ability is limited, and it will take him a certain amount of time to learn to accept it if you buy him a special urinal. What you have to do is put some of the rabbit's squirt and urine into the urinal, then sniff the rabbit and stop the rabbit when she wants to boo everywhere (the rabbit will arch his back and his tail when he is booing, and he will boo in the corner to find it), and then carry him to the urinal, so that it will be OK to come down a few times. And do a good job of finishing the work, the rabbit's sense of smell is very sensitive, he is not a place to wipe with water, he can still smell and then go to shhh

Third, the rabbit poop is a habit of enclosure, especially in the summer, it is extremely active, it is a kind of nature, you want to control it is difficult, or cage it.

Fourth, there is no way to control poop. It has always been to the **pull to**. However, some rabbits with a special cleanliness habit will also solve the poop in the toilet. My rabbits are like this, they all can urinate in the cage, and then come out to play when they are done.

That's basically it, I hope your bunny can be left behind.

Put the feces and urine in the urinal, the rabbit urine and urine are also rules, where to go where there is a smell, you can develop it in a few days, if you have the smell of his feces in many places in your house, then this is not easy to do, it is recommended to cage, occasionally let it out, if you are afraid of peeing at home, you can put it outside and run around and bring it back.

The stool can't be controlled, it's not dirty anyway, just pull and sweep, you can train to urinate, put a toilet in the place where he often urinate, and put some tissues stained with his urine in it, and it's okay after a long time.

It's not easy to do, you just keep it in captivity, it's good for the rabbit's body If it's caged, it's best to let him out for two days to move around and enhance his physique, which can resist the disease Coccidiosis is very bad in summer Don't feed the vegetable leaves with water Once the diarrhea dies, it's not good**.

I also approve of his approach!

Cooling and heatstroke prevention This is the key to doing a good job in rabbit breeding, especially long-haired rabbit breeding. High temperature will have many adverse effects on rabbits, especially long-haired rabbits, so corresponding measures must be taken to prevent heatstroke, and the main measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down are as follows.

1. Rabbit house insulation The temperature is high in summer, the solar radiation is strong, and the heat outside the house is mainly transmitted into the house through the doors and windows, walls and roofs of the rabbit house, so we must pay attention to the insulation of the rabbit house structure, especially the roof or cage top must take thermal insulation measures. The walls of the rabbit house are light colored, preferably white, which reduces the radiant heat of the sun.

2. Rabbit house ventilation This is a major measure for rabbit house heatstroke prevention and cooling, rabbit house ventilation can not only dissipate the heat generated and accumulated in the house, but also help the rabbit body heat dissipation, in order to alleviate the adverse effects of high temperature on rabbits. When the air in the rabbit house is relatively dry, the wet cooling method can be used to cool down, and at the same time increase the airflow, which can enhance the cooling effect.

The rabbit house should make full use of natural ventilation. The site should be selected in an open area, and there should be a large distance between the buildings, and the distance between the two rows of rabbit houses should be multiple the height. The orientation of the rabbit house is determined according to the main wind direction of the local summer, generally to the south as well, when the natural ventilation can not meet the requirements, it is still necessary to use mechanical ventilation.

3. The measures of rabbit house shading include widening the eaves, building pergolas, planting trees, planting climbing plants, hanging curtains, and setting up sun shields outside the windows. However, this has a certain contradiction with wool harvesting and ventilation in the house, so it should be considered comprehensively and properly handled.
