Key Points of Rabbit Farming Techniques and Daily Feeding Management Methods
When raising rabbits, it is generally best to select healthy, disease-free young rabbits, and then build clean, well-ventilated rabbit houses for them to grow in. When feeding rabbits, it is best to give them tender grass and tender vegetable leaves, and then provide some clean cool boiled water every day. After 3 months of growth, feed more green fodder; after 5 months, control the feeding amount well and divide them into pens according to the population size, generally about 25 per group is best.
Detailed Explanation of Rabbit Farming Techniques:
1. Selection of breeding rabbits: What kind of rabbits are good to choose?
The first step in raising rabbits is certainly to choose a good rabbit breed. First, we need to select female rabbits that are healthy, free of disease, in good estrus condition and with normal organs as breeding rabbits. The requirements for selecting male rabbits are similar to those for female rabbits. However, we should also choose breeds suitable for farming according to local weather and demand. After selecting the breeding rabbits, do the mating work well: first mate the same pair of male and female rabbits repeatedly more than twice, or mate the female rabbit with different male rabbits. Improve the conception and litter rate of female rabbits. If there is no estrus, then induce estrus to promote the secretion of sex hormones in the female rabbit.
2. Environment selection: What environment is suitable for rabbits to grow in?
The environment of the rabbit house also has a very great relationship with the growth of rabbits. The rabbit house environment must be kept relatively dry, with no water accumulation, sufficient light and strong ventilation. Only in this way can the healthy growth of rabbits be ensured. Set up young rabbit houses, mating houses, pregnant rabbit houses, etc., to provide different environments for rabbits at different growth stages. To strengthen the growth ability of rabbits, before putting in the breeding rabbits, the rabbit house must be disinfected, and management must be strengthened to prevent bacterial infection, avoid disease, affect the healthy growth of rabbits, and lead to a decline in farming benefits.
3. Raising young rabbits: How to raise them?
The period after young rabbits have grown for 3 months and before they enter the mating stage belongs to the young rabbit stage. Young rabbits grow relatively quickly, and their metabolism also speeds up, so their demand for nutrients is also relatively large. At this time, we should increase the nutritional ratio in the feed and increase the content of nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Mainly use green fodder. When the age reaches about 5 months, appropriately reduce it to prevent the rabbits from becoming too fat. Also pay attention to doing a good job in group feeding to prevent young rabbits from mating randomly or prematurely, and improve the quality of breeding rabbits.
4. Group management: How to divide groups?
Grouping is a task that needs attention in meat rabbit farming. First, we must pay attention to controlling density and do a good job in group management. Adult rabbits should be kept at about 25 per group. Raising males and females separately not only makes management easier, but also promotes the growth of rabbits. When dividing groups, we should also plan according to the weight and growth ability of each rabbit. Prevent the phenomenon of the big bullying the small. Then we should strengthen the feed management of rabbits. Since rabbits have the habit of eating at night, we also need to feed them at night to meet the growth habits of rabbits.
The above is the relevant introduction to rabbit farming techniques. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
