There is more to feeding rabbits than meets the eye: do these five checks for scientific feeding
First, check the rabbit's size. 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 feed should be of a moisture level that it forms a ball when gently squeezed and falls apart when the hand is released. Second, check whether the rabbit is fat or thin. For a fat rabbit, appropriately reduce the amount of concentrate feed and increase green feed or roughage; for a thin rabbit, supplement nutrition and feed more concentrate, and you can also feed some soaked soybeans, or mash bean dregs, mix them with boiling water, and stir them into the feed to give to the rabbit. Third, check whether the droppings are dry or wet. If the rabbit's drop

Etiological Analysis of Moldy Forage Poisoning in Rabbits During the Rainy Season
Entering the rainy and humid season, especially in the month, readers from various places call frequently for consultation, rabbit diseases occur frequently, and losses are continuous. The symptoms are mainly listlessness, trembling, paralysis, limpness, drooling, diarrhea, and so on. The disease looks similar to heatstroke, and before death it also resembles coccidiosis. However, comprehensive analysis shows that it is actually caused by mold poisoning. Because the onset is acute, death is fast, losses are heavy, and the scope of danger is wide, this article is written as a warning. 1. Etiological analysis: In the month, with abundant rain, high temperature, and muggy humidity, if forage is stored improperly, it is very easy to heat up, ferment, and become moldy, producing fungal toxins, especially aflatoxin.

Symptoms and Prevention and Treatment Methods of Bordetella bronchiseptica Infection in Rabbits
[Pathogen] Bordetella bronchiseptica, an oval to rod-shaped pleomorphic small bacillus, Gram-negative, often showing bipolar staining. [Epidemiological characteristics] This disease occurs mostly in spring and autumn when the climate changes easily, and infection mainly occurs through the respiratory tract. The pathogen often parasitizes the respiratory tract of domestic rabbits, so when the body's resistance is reduced due to factors such as sudden climate changes, colds, and parasitic diseases, or when other predisposing factors such as dust and strong irritating gases make the upper respiratory tract mucosa vulnerable, the disease is easily triggered. The rhinitis type is often endemic

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

What are the effective fattening methods for commercial rabbits?
Fattening rabbits is the last stage of rabbit production. Its purpose is to produce good rabbit meat and rabbit skins. The fattening of domestic rabbits works best after the skeletal growth and development is complete. The feeding and management of domestic rabbit fattening must meet the following five key points: 1. Concentrate feed point. After the skeletal growth and development of domestic rabbits is complete, the weight gained during fattening is mainly muscle and fat. During fattening, concentrate feed should be the main component, especially feeds rich in carbohydrates, such as sweet potato, potato, taro, radish, etc. And green fodder should be appropriately included.

How can female rabbits produce more offspring? Sharing practical methods
Producing more female rabbits is an effective way to improve breeding efficiency. So how can you get more female rabbits? Relevant research shows that the mating time of the female rabbit is the key to determining the sex of the future kits. Experience shows that when a male rabbit that has already mated the previous day is mated with a female rabbit on the 2nd day of estrus, most of the kits born are female rabbits; if a male rabbit that has not mated within the 3rd day is mated with a female rabbit on the 3rd day of estrus, most of the kits born are male rabbits. Experiments show that with the former mating method, 9 litters of kits were produced, with 68 surviving, of which 57 were female rabbits
