Many Tricks to Induce Estrus in Female Rabbits


I. Artificial Estrus Induction Methods

(1) Teasing and enticing. Place the female rabbit in the male rabbit's cage and let the male chase and mount her, which can induce estrus in the female rabbit. In addition, housing the female rabbit and the male rabbit in separate cages, the special odor released by the male rabbit can also induce estrus in the female rabbit.

(2) Patting and massaging the vulva. Lift the female rabbit's tail with the left hand, and with the right hand pat her vulva quickly and rhythmically with appropriate force, so that the female rabbit feels the pleasure of mating, 1-2 minutes each time. You can also gently massage the female rabbit's vulva with your hand, 4-5 minutes each time; when the female rabbit voluntarily raises her tail, immediately put her into the male rabbit's cage to mate.

(3) Weaning. Usually about 7 days after weaning, the female rabbit will show signs of estrus.

(4) Shearing. Shearing the female rabbit 1-2 days before mating has an obvious estrus-inducing effect, with a conception rate of 75%-80%.

II. Feeding Estrus Induction Methods

(1) Feeding malt. Mix wheat that has sprouted for 2-3 days into the feed to feed the female rabbit, twice a day, 20-30 grams each time, for 3 consecutive days. However, this method is not suitable for nursing female rabbits.

(2) Feeding carrots. Cut carrots into fine dice, mix into the feed and feed, twice a day, 50-100 grams each time; after two days the female rabbit will go into estrus.

III. Drug Estrus Induction Methods

(1) Apply 2% iodine tincture to the female rabbit's vulva; the effective rate of estrus induction reaches 80%.

(2) Each female rabbit orally takes 1-2 vitamin E capsules per day for 3-5 consecutive days; the effective rate can reach 90%.

(3) Intramuscular injection of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin, 100 international units at a time. Intravenous injection of chorionic gonadotropin, 80 international units at a time, can also be used; usually 2-3 days after injection, estrus and mating can occur.
