Seventeen Methods for Angora Rabbit Farming to Make Rabbits Grow More Wool

1. For each rabbit, use 0.5 g of sulfur, 1 g of silkworm droppings, 1 g of Smilax glabra, and 0.1 g of trace elements daily. After mixing and crushing, mix evenly with feed and feed to the rabbits. Generally, wool can be clipped 7-10 days earlier.

2. After Angora rabbits are sheared for 1-2 days, inject 250 mg of vitamin B12 intramuscularly into each rabbit daily for 2-3 consecutive days; or orally administer compound vitamin B1 tablets (each tablet contains 3 mg of B1, 1.5 mg of B2, 0.2 mg of B6, and 2 mg of racemic calcium pantothenate), using 1/4 tablet per rabbit per day, and orally administer 0.6-1.2 ml of cod liver oil for livestock and poultry, so that the growth cycle is shortened, wool can be clipped 10 days earlier, and the wool yield per rabbit increases by about 25 g.

3. After Angora rabbits are sheared, use 50-degree liquor with a little ginger juice, dip it with medicinal cotton, and apply it to the rabbit's whole body to speed up blood circulation, once daily for 2-3 consecutive days. After 3-4 days, the rabbit's body will be covered with short fine down, wool can be clipped 5-7 days earlier, and wool yield can increase by about 30%.

4. Feed each female rabbit 7 g of earthworm powder daily, and wool yield can increase by 10%, while high-quality wool increases by 17%.

5. After shearing, appropriately feed some Chinese chives and soybeans, which can increase rabbit wool and make it glossy, with wool emerging earlier and faster, and the second harvest time shortened by 7 days. Feed Chinese chives once daily, 5 g per rabbit, and feed 7-8 soaked soybean grains.

6. Medicated bath method. (1) Use 150-200 g of trichlorfon powder, add 50 kg of water, and prepare a 0.3-0.5%% trichlorfon solution, then add 150 g of sulfur powder, stir evenly, and set aside after dissolving. (2) Use 100 g of Hibiscus syriacus bark and 100 g of Sophora flavescens, add 2.5 kg of water, decoct, filter the juice, and remove the residue, add 100 g of sulfur powder and 5 kg of boiling water, and stir evenly. When bathing, hold the rabbit ears with one hand and put it into the bath basin, and with the other hand wash and brush the rabbit's whole body from bottom to top, finally washing the head and ear roots. Note that within 10 days after shearing, choose warm weather for bathing, do not frighten the rabbit, and let the rabbit eat fully before bathing. This method can increase rabbit wool yield by more than 20% and can also prevent and treat diseases such as sarcoptic mange.

7. Eggs are rich in sulfur-containing amino acids such as cystine, with an obvious wool-promoting effect. Adding 1 egg daily for every 5-10 wool rabbits is beneficial for promoting wool growth.

8. After male wool rabbits are castrated, male hormone levels in the body decrease, temperament becomes quieter, individuals are larger, rabbit wool grows quickly, wool yield is 1 times more than without castration, and wool quality is also better.

9. Comb the wool once about every 3 days with a comb, which can promote skin blood circulation and hair follicle cell vitality, stimulate the cortex, speed up metabolism, accelerate rabbit wool growth, and help improve wool quality.

10. After shearing, use 50 ml of vitamin B2 for gluteal intramuscular injection, which has an obvious wool-promoting effect and generally can allow wool to be clipped about 10 days earlier.

11. Adding 0.5-0.7% methionine to the daily ration can increase wool yield by 12-27%. At the same time, adding trace elements, with 2-4 mg of copper, 20 mg of iron, 11-16 mg of manganese, 2 mg of cobalt, and 8-15 mg of zinc per kg of compound feed, can improve wool quality.

12. Adding methionine and various trace elements to the daily ration can increase wool yield by 19.85%, weight gain rate by 19.74%, rabbit wool strength by 12.07%, natural hair follicle length by 13.71%, and density by 9.31%.

13. Add 50 mg of lysine, 25 mg of methionine, and 25 mg of cystine per rabbit daily, which can promote earlier shearing and increase wool yield by 12.8%.

14. Add thyroxine to the daily ration: initially feed 10 mg per rabbit daily for 7 consecutive days, then increase to 20 mg per rabbit daily for 14 consecutive days, 30 mg for 24 consecutive days, 40 mg for 10 consecutive days, 30 mg for 11 days, 20 mg for 10 days, and 10 mg for 8 days, which can increase wool yield by 15.38%.

15. Feed each rabbit 10 mg of 0.1% chromium sulfate mixture (containing sulfur, iron, arsenic, and other trace elements) daily. After one month, wool yield is 19 g more than the control group. Adding 0.4 mg of manganese sulfate, 0.15 mg of zinc chloride, and 0.1 mg of cobalt chloride per 1 kg of rabbit body weight daily can increase wool yield by 11.3% and increase wool growth speed by 6.8%.

16. Mix 0.3 g of zinc sulfate, 0.4 g of copper sulfate, 0.07 g of cobalt chloride, and 100 g of concentrate. Mix the above drugs and concentrate evenly. Feed each rabbit 1 g of this medicine daily for 2-3 consecutive months, and wool yield increases significantly.

17. Adding 0.03-0.05% rare earth to the daily ration can not only increase wool yield by 8.5-9.4%, but also increase the proportion of high-quality wool by 43.44-51.45%.
