How to Improve the Survival Rate of Young Rabbits? A Detailed Guide to Practical Breeding Techniques
Within 2 weeks of weaning, young rabbits should be gradually transitioned from the pre-weaning kit feed to the young rabbit feed. Young rabbits grow quickly and eat a lot, but their digestive capacity, especially their ability to digest crude fiber, is relatively weak. Therefore, the feed for young rabbits should be nutrient-rich, easy to digest, and small in volume

What to do about coughing and wheezing in weaned piglets? Experience sharing on traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment in pig farming
Coughing and wheezing in piglets from 10 days after weaning to 30 kg body weight is usually associated in Western veterinary medicine with porcine postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (i.e. circovirus) infection, with an incidence rate ranging from 20 percent to 45 percent; the mortality rate of affected piglets is generally 30 percent, and can reach as high as 80 percent, with body temperature of 40.5°C to 41.5°C. Piglets show rough and disheveled coat, affected pigs have diarrhea combined with respiratory symptoms and neurological symptoms, severe emaciation, and death from exhaustion. This disease poses a very great threat to the pig farming industry. It is most severe in the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine theory, this disease belongs to warm disease symptoms; the cause is external contraction of wind pathogen invading the lung, and cold, summerheat, dryness, warmth and the like can all combine with it. The main site of the lesions is in the lung. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine theory, lung qi governs respiration and opens into the nose, externally corresponding to the skin and hair, and governs the opening and closing of the interstices. When lung qi is sufficient, the opening and closing of the skin and interstices is normal, and external pathogens are not easily able to invade; otherwise the pig body is plagued by disease. Using Qingfei Zhike San combined with Maxing Shigan San with modifications, this formula can pungent-cool diffuse and vent, clear the lung and calm wheezing, clear and purge lung heat, and resolve phlegm and stop coughing. Add it to piglet feed as a powder at 0.6 percent, continuously for 2 to 3 weeks. In Western veterinary medicine theory, this formula is believed to have fairly strong antibacterial and inhibitory effects on Actinomyces pleuris, Staphylococcus aureus and Pneumococcus; this formula also has effects such as anti-influenza virus action, and also has obvious antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects, and can improve the immune function within the animal body.

What are the common misconceptions in wild boar farming?
1 Weaning too early. Many farmers, when raising wild boars, artificially wean the piglets early in order to breed them sooner and bring the piglets to market earlier. Because wild boars have underdeveloped mammary glands, a small milk yield and a short lactation period, weaning too early easily leads to piglets that are small in size, weak in constitution,

Reasons and Solutions for Sows Not Coming into Estrus After Weaning
Under normal circumstances, sows will come into estrus about one week after weaning. But quite a few farmers report that their sows still do not come into estrus ten to twenty days after weaning. Why is that? What should be done? What should be done if a sow does not come into estrus after weaning? First, feeding should be strengthened, choosing a complete feed specially designed for lactating sows, and feeding 3-4 times a day to ensure that weight loss at weaning is not excessive; second, ventilation in the pig house must be ensured, and cooling is needed in summer. In addition, for sows that do not come into estrus, an appropriate dose of diethylstilbestrol, anterior pituitary gonadotropin, cloprostenol, etc. can also be injected intramuscularly.
