Five observation points when feeding rabbits
One, look at the rabbit's size. Generally, an adult rabbit weighing about 3.5 kg needs 150-200 g of feed per day; a young rabbit weighing about 1.75 kg needs 100-150 g of feed per day. The ideal moisture level of the feed is when it lightly holds together when squeezed and falls apart when the hand is released. Two, look at whether the rabbit is fat or thin. For fat rabbits, appropriately reduce the amount of concentrated feed and increase green fodder or roughage; for thin rabbits, supplement nutrition and feed more concentrated feed. You can also feed some soaked soybeans, or mash bean dregs, mix them with boiling water, and stir them into the feed for the rabbits. Three, look at whether the feces are dry or wet. If the rabbit's

How to Do a Good Job of Disinfection in Rabbit Farms in Late Spring and Summer
Late spring and early summer is the time when bacteria and viruses begin to multiply in large numbers. Therefore, disinfection work on rabbit farms should be placed in an important position.

What are the new perspectives on disease prevention in large-scale rabbit farms? Worth reading
Play down treatment and optimize the rabbit herd. Traditional rabbit farming emphasizes treatment over prevention, often turning a rabbit farm into a sanatorium for sick rabbits. To change this situation, some experts have proposed the "five no-treatment" rule for sick rabbits: do not treat rabbits that cannot be cured, do not treat rabbits whose treatment cost is high, do not treat rabbits whose treatment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, do not treat rabbits whose economic value after recovery is not high, and do not treat rabbits that are highly contagious and harmful. Practice has proved that after rabbit farms implemented this system, the health status of the rabbit herd improved markedly, virulent infectious diseases were effectively controlled, and medical costs

Which types of feed cannot be used alone to feed rabbits?
1. White radish leaves: White radish leaves contain very high levels of chlorophyll and a lot of water. If rabbits eat too much, they are prone to bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, and similar problems. Therefore, when feeding white radish leaves to rabbits, they should be mixed with other forage grasses, vegetable leaves, and so on. 2. Peanut vines: Peanut vines are rich in nutrients, and rabbits love to eat them, but because they contain a lot of crude fiber and water, excessive intake by rabbits can easily cause big belly disease, loose stools, indigestion, and similar problems, so they should not be fed alone in large amounts. In addition, when using peanut vines to feed rabbits, combining them with feeding the rabbits some onions, garlic heads

How is High-Quality Angora Rabbit Wool Produced? Key Technical Points Explained
Rabbit hair is divided into three types: fine hair, coarse hair, and two-type hair. Fine hair, also known as rabbit down, has an average fineness of 12-14 microns and is the shortest of the three types. It has distinctly irregular crimps. Because fine hair has good physical and chemical properties, it has high textile value in the wool textile industry. Generally speaking, its price is also higher than the other two types. Therefore, mastering rabbit down production techniques to produce more fine hair is an effective means of improving the production efficiency of Angora rabbits. 1. Understand the quality requirements for rabbit down. Rabbit down should be pure white, fully loose, free of impurities,

Management Measures for Pregnant Rabbits to Safely Get Through Summer
In the hot summer, measures should be taken to ensure pregnant rabbits get through the summer safely. 1. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling. The suitable temperature for pregnant rabbits is 14-16°C. In summer, heatstroke prevention and cooling work should be done carefully to prevent heat stress, which can cause premature birth, miscarriage, or stillbirth in pregnant rabbits. Keep the rabbit hutch cool with air circulation, and build a shade awning over the rabbit hutch. 2. Adjust feed promptly. Hot weather often causes pregnant rabbits to reduce their feed intake. Adjust the feed promptly, increase the proportion of protein and energy feed in the feed, feed more green and succulent feed, and when feed intake is reduced,
