What are the excellent wool rabbit breeds? Detailed introduction to the characteristics of each breed
What is a wool rabbit? Wool rabbits are collectively known internationally as Angora rabbits, and different strains have been formed due to different breeding directions and methods. In recent years, the market development of wool rabbits has been quite good, and many farmers have seized this specialty breeding project after finding a sales channel.
1. German Angora rabbit
A world-famous fine-wool type long-haired rabbit. The coat has high density and a high content of fine wool, with a distinct wool cluster structure. The coat is not easy to mat, and its product is suitable for worsted spinning. It has a large body size and strong reproductive capacity, but it is not resistant to high temperatures. At present, the high-yield strains or high-yield groups in various parts of China all use the German Angora rabbit as important breeding material.
2. French Angora rabbit
This rabbit belongs to the coarse-wool type long-haired rabbit. The coat density is relatively poor, and the coarse wool content is high; the wool fibers are relatively coarse, and its product is suitable for woolen spinning. Its annual wool yield is lower than that of the German Angora rabbit. After continuous domestication by Chinese breeders, this breed reaches an annual wool yield of 500 g to 600 g per rabbit.
3. New strains of Chinese coarse-wool type long-haired rabbits
Namely the Su I strain, the Zhejiang strain and the Wan III strain.
Su I strain: It has the characteristics of strong vitality, good reproductive performance, large body weight, and high wool yield and coarse wool rate.
Zhejiang strain: It has the characteristics of high wool yield, high coarse wool rate and good reproductive performance.
Wan III strain: It has the characteristics of a relatively large body size and relatively good reproductive performance.
At present, there are not many purebred German and French Angora rabbits in China, and raising Chinese coarse-wool type long-haired rabbits can achieve better results.
In summary, the above is the introduction to wool rabbits. In fact, besides wool rabbits, meat rabbit breeds have also attracted more and more attention from farmer friends in recent years. Friends who are interested can leave a message to tell the editor. Nongxun Net's project recommendation column also has an introduction to the prospects of meat rabbit farming.
