A complete guide to autumn rabbit epidemic prevention: rabbit farmers, please keep this safe
After rabbits get through the hot summer, their disease resistance declines somewhat. By autumn, they are also in the molting period and the doe kindling period, so their consumption increases. At this time, doing a good job of autumn prevention is especially important. Therefore, autumn rabbit epidemic prevention work should be carried out according to scientific and standard immunization technical procedures.
Choose vaccines from legitimate manufacturers
The current vaccine market is very chaotic. Many manufacturers produce vaccines, and multiple varieties of vaccines circulate on the market. Legitimate manufacturers have passed the Ministry of Agriculture's veterinary drug GMP certification by a national professional body, and the vaccines they produce have official approval numbers. This kind of vaccine has sufficient antigen content, a high immune protection rate, lasting immune protection, and good safety.
?Choose a suitable vaccine
The production situation and disease occurrence situation of each rabbit farm are somewhat different. Each rabbit farm should reasonably formulate an immunization program according to its own production needs and carry out vaccination immunization according to plan.
The number of immunizations is not the more the better. In order to strengthen the effect of vaccination immunization, some farmers give rabbits multiple rabbit plague vaccines a year, thinking that the more times, the safer it is. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Multiple immunizations not only cause economic waste, but also cause immune function disorder in the rabbit body, resulting in immune paralysis and leading to immunization failure.
Scientific immunization and vaccination
Before immunization and vaccination, a reasonable and scientific immunization and vaccination plan or immunization and vaccination procedure should be formulated according to the number of rabbits raised on the farm. The syringes, disinfectant cotton balls, needles, and other items used should be strictly disinfected before use. Check the health status of the rabbit group to be vaccinated. Rabbits that are sick, weak, disabled, or in late pregnancy should not be vaccinated.
When situations such as a broken vaccine bottle, an incompletely sealed or loose bottle cap, no label or an incomplete label, exceeding the expiration date, changed color, or deterioration occur, the vaccine must not be used under any circumstances. When injecting the vaccine, it must be done according to the requirements. The injection dose must be sufficient and the site must be accurate. Replace the needle once for each rabbit injected.
Do not administer 2 varieties of vaccine at the same time. Administering different varieties of vaccines at the same time will cause severe immune interference, and rabbits will become sick because they cannot withstand the stimulation brought by these two vaccines at the same time. Therefore, apart from administering normal bivalent or trivalent vaccines, two vaccines must absolutely not be injected at the same time.
