How to Make Rabbit Feed Formulas? Detailed Preparation Methods Included

Rabbit feed is the foundation of rabbit production; it not only relates to the expression of rabbit production performance, but is also directly related to the economic benefits of rabbit production operators. Therefore, preparing reasonable feed for rabbits is the first issue rabbit breeders should consider. Below let us take a look together at how rabbit feed formulas should be matched! In addition, we have also analyzed the prospects of rabbit farming for everyone, hoping it will be useful to you!

I. Rabbit Feed Formulas

1. Young Rabbits

Corn 30%, soybean cake 23%, wheat bran 12%, rice bran 10%, grass meal 20%, bone meal 2%, salt 0.5%; feed each rabbit 10 g-20 g per day, plus 50 g-100 g of green feed.

2. Adult Rabbits

Early stage: corn 10%, green hay 7%, soybean cake 5%, wheat bran 10%, salt 2%; feed each rabbit 120 g-150 g per day, with an appropriate amount of green feed.

Later stage: corn 80%, green hay 10%, wheat bran 5%, bone meal 3%, salt 2%; use free feeding, and appropriately add green feed daily.

3. Breeding Bucks

Non-mating period: corn 15%, soybean cake 11%, wheat bran 20%, grass meal 50%, salt 2%; feed each rabbit 100 g per day, plus 700-800 g of green feed.

Mating period: corn 11%, soybean cake 25%, wheat bran 20%, grass meal 40%, bone meal 2%, salt 1.5%; feed each rabbit 150 g-200 g per day, and 700 g-800 g of green feed.

4. Non-pregnant Does

Corn 15%, soybean cake 25%, wheat bran 10%, rice bran 10%, grass meal 35%, bone meal 3%, salt 1.5%; feed each rabbit 150 g per day, plus 800 g-1000 g of green feed, and add 3-5 earthworms.

II. Prospects of Rabbit Farming

1. From the Perspective of Output

With the same amount of feed, the conversion rate of rabbit meat is 5 times that of beef. In addition, rabbits have multiple births and high yields, a short rearing cycle, and a high meat production rate. Therefore, rabbit farming is still relatively efficient.

2. From the Perspective of Returns

The income sources of rabbit farming are relatively diverse; both rabbit meat and rabbit fur sell well. Rabbit farming feed is mainly grass, so the cost is relatively low, but the profit is substantial, and the investment can generally be recovered in about 1 year.

3. From the Perspective of the Market

Nowadays, people's dietary habits are quietly changing. With its extremely high nutritional value and health benefits, rabbit meat has attracted more attention. In many cities, rabbit meat is in short supply.

The above is an introduction to rabbit feed formulas and the prospects of rabbit farming. We hope it can be helpful to you!
