What are the key points for feeding and managing pregnant rabbits?
From before and after mating until 15 days after conception, feed the doe either a restricted diet or a supplemental diet according to her body condition, to prevent her from becoming too fat, which is detrimental to reproduction. Thin and weak does should be given enhanced feeding at this opportunity to help them regain condition as quickly as possible, laying a solid foundation for nursing their kits. From 15 days after conception and during lactation, does should be fed freely to meet the rapid growth and development of the fetuses and kits and to prevent the occurrence of kits being dragged out of the nest. The key point in this period is to make the feed as complete as possible so the doe eats her fill and eats well. Second, do a good job of

How to identify a sick rabbit? Three methods to help you tell
First, look: A sick rabbit is listless, emaciated, with bones showing, a ruffled and lusterless coat, and does not shed fur according to the molting season. A healthy domestic rabbit has a strong appetite and eats quickly; a sick rabbit has a poor appetite, eats slowly or refuses food. The droppings of a healthy domestic rabbit are pellet-shaped, oval, uniform in size, with a round, smooth surface. If dry, hard, small droppings appear, it indicates constipation, and more green, succulent feed should be given; if the droppings are tadpole-shaped or soft and loose, this indicates indigestion, and charcoal powder, yeast tablets, etc. should be added to the feed; if the droppings are piled up and

What are the key points of freezing technology for frozen rabbit
1. Freezing facilities Currently, frozen rabbit processing in China mostly uses mechanized or semi-mechanized operations, and its process level and hygiene standards have reached international levels. The freezing processing rooms mainly include cooling rooms, cold storage rooms and freezing rooms, etc. In medium-sized frozen rabbit meat processing plants, since the slaughtering room is generally located on the top floor of the building, the meat cooling room should also be located on the top floor so as to be connected to the slaughtering room, followed in sequence by the cold storage room and the freezing room, while the freezing room should be located on the ground floor so that it can be directly shipped or used for temporary storage by other processing rooms

Grass Species for Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Rabbits and Geese and Their Cultivation Techniques
1. Growing grass to feed cattle: Mexican corn, alfalfa (Medicago sativa), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), napier grass (Pennisetum), Sudan grass (Sorghum sudanense) and others may be chosen; succulent leafy forage grasses with a high crude fiber content should not be planted. Mexican corn is suitable for planting in areas with annual rainfall of more than 800 mm and a frost-free period of more than 180 days. When the plant height reaches 1.5 m, it can be cut once a month. The dry matter of the forage contains 9.5% crude protein, 2.6% crude fat and 27.3% crude fiber. The stems and leaves are tender, crisp and juicy, sweet in taste and highly palatable, and are also suitable for silage or for curing into hay.

Summer rabbit-raising tips: how to raise rabbits well in hot weather
Summer has high temperatures and high humidity, which easily cause many adverse effects on rabbit production. Such as heat stress, decreased feed intake, slowed weight gain, reproductive disorders, etc. To minimize the adverse effects, the following measures are recommended: 1. Vigorously focus on heat prevention and cooling. Plant trees, forage grass, or some vine-type plants in the open space in front of the rabbit house; this can both shade and cool and green the environment. If the planting season has been missed, a shade shed 3-4 m high can be built. When the temperature inside the rabbit cage reaches 30°C, sprinkling water on the ground can also be used to cool it down, but when the house is humid, ventilation must be strengthened

How to prevent rabbit breed degeneration? Master these practical methods
Causes of degeneration: Extensive management and inbreeding. Only emphasizing the rabbit's trait of eating grass without supplementing with concentrated feed causes nutritional deficiency and breed degeneration. Ignoring the blood relationship of breeding rabbits and mating closely related animals causes poor disease resistance in offspring rabbits, slow growth, smaller body size, deformities, and breed degeneration. Lack of strict selection measures: not paying attention to selecting and retaining breeding rabbits according to breed characteristic requirements, often selling off the large, fast-growing, well-conditioned ones first and keeping the small, thin, weak ones to continue raising, causing gradual breed degeneration. Mating

How to detect suspicious sick rabbits early? A must-read for rabbit keepers
Examine the ear color of a healthy rabbit: pink, with bright eyes. If the ears are red or light purple, it means the rabbit is overheated; placing it in a ventilated hutch to rest a while will relieve it. If the ears are pale and feel cool to the touch, it means the rabbit has drunk too much cold water or has caught a chill; on auscultation there will be a sloshing sound in the abdominal cavity, and placing the sick rabbit on a heated kang to warm its belly will suffice. If a young rabbit's ear tips bend forward or droop slightly, it means its body temperature is high; let it move about freely for a while to help bring the temperature down. If a rabbit's eyeballs look dull, it indicates the air in the hutch is foul, and ventilation should be carried out promptly. A rabbit running clear watery nasal discharge is a precursor of common cold,

What are the key points and methods for feeding rabbits concentrated feed?
Concentrated feed includes energy-based grain feed ingredients such as corn, barley, wheat, sorghum, wheat bran, and fine rice bran, as well as feed ingredients with high protein content such as soybean meal, rapeseed cake, fish meal, silkworm pupae, and blood meal. Their common characteristics are low crude fiber content, low moisture content, and high nutritional value. To increase the weight gain rate of meat rabbits, make wool rabbits produce more wool, and make Rex rabbits produce more high-grade fur, concentrated feed is indispensable. The principle of using concentrated feed is to follow the nutritional needs of different types of rabbits, according to different regions and different
