Occurrence Patterns and Control Methods of Rabbit Necrobacillosis
I. Symptoms The sick rabbit loses its appetite, salivates, and develops hard nodules on the lips, oral mucosa, and gums, which then become necrotic and foul-smelling. The swellings sometimes occur on the neck, chest, face, or front of the chest, forming abscesses or ulcers. After the lesions rupture, a foul-smelling discharge flows out, and the course of the disease lasts as long as several weeks or months. The rabbit dies from elevated body temperature, emaciation, and exhaustion. II. Prevention and Control 1. Prevention: Rabbit cages should be free of sharp foreign objects to prevent biting and fighting and to prevent skin injuries. Rabbits should be bred and raised on the farm itself. Breeding rabbits introduced from other places must be isolated and quarantined for 1 month and may only be mixed into the group if they have no other diseases.

How can large-scale rabbit farms prevent disease? These new viewpoints are worth reading
Play down treatment, optimize the rabbit herd. Traditional rabbit farming emphasizes treatment over prevention, often turning the 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 highly 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

How Many Times Should a Rabbit Farm Be Disinfected? Master the Correct Disinfection Frequency
The disinfection theory in books says, "Twice a week in summer, once a week in the other seasons." I think this disinfection practice involves too many rounds. The purpose of disinfection is to kill harmful bacteria. My approach is once every half month in summer, and once a month the rest of the time. If you disinfect frequently, the goal is to kill harmful bacteria, but the result is that you kill all the beneficial bacteria too. Also, after we finish disinfecting, we sling the sprayer on our backs and turn around and leave the rabbit shed, leaving the rabbits in their cages reluctantly "inhaling the chemicals," and side effects are very likely to occur. According to what I have learned

In recent years, the author has used the three treasures in domestic rabbit production and achieved good results. 1. They can increase rabbits' appetite.

Three things to avoid when feeding vegetables to rabbits; rabbit keepers need to know this in advance
First, avoid using vegetables that have been piled up and turned yellow. Feeding rabbits with vegetables that have been piled up and turned yellow will cause nitrite poisoning in rabbits, and in severe cases can lead to death. Therefore, when feeding rabbits with vegetables, always make sure they are fresh, and do not feed too much at a time; it is best to feed them together with other feed. Second, avoid cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain sinigrin, which can produce some toxins that promote thyroid enlargement and severely damage the rabbit's liver and kidneys. Third, avoid vegetables damaged by pests. Feeding rabbits with vegetables infested by aphids, cabbage caterpillars, and the like

Do Pet Rabbits Need to Drink Water? A Guide to the Correct Way to Provide Water
