What are the key points for rabbit epidemic prevention in autumn and winter?
In autumn and winter, rabbits' disease resistance declines somewhat, and this period also coincides with molting and the kindling period of female rabbits, increasing their energy consumption. At this time, doing a good job of epidemic prevention becomes especially important. Therefore, rabbit epidemic prevention work should be carried out according to scientific and standard immunization technical operating methods.
????Choose vaccines from legitimate manufacturers
The current vaccine market is very chaotic. Multiple 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, a professional national body, and the vaccines they produce have official approval numbers. This kind of vaccine has sufficient antigen content, a high immune protection rate, long-lasting immune protection, and good safety.
Choose suitable vaccines
Each rabbit farm's production situation and disease occurrence situation are different. Each rabbit farm should, according to its own actual production needs, reasonably formulate an immunization program 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 vaccine injections a year, believing that the more times, the safer, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Multiple immunizations not only cause economic waste, but also cause immune function disorder in the rabbit body, producing immune paralysis and leading to immunization failure.
????Scientific immunization vaccination
Before immunization vaccination, a reasonable and scientific immunization vaccination plan or immunization vaccination procedure should be formulated according to the number of rabbits raised on the farm. The syringes, disinfection cotton balls, needles, and so on to be used must 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 expiry 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 requirements; the injection dose must be sufficient and the site must be accurate, and the needle must be changed after each rabbit is injected.
Do not administer 2 varieties of vaccine at the same time. Administering different varieties of vaccine at the same time will cause severe immune interference, and the rabbit will become ill because it cannot withstand the stimulation brought by these two vaccines at the same time. Therefore, apart from administering normal dual or triple vaccines, two vaccines must absolutely not be injected at the same time.
