Key points of rabbit farming techniques in winter and early spring
In winter and early spring, due to cold climate, insufficient sunlight and lack of green feed, domestic rabbits often grow slowly and their reproduction rate declines, resulting in reduced rabbit farming profits. Comprehensive feeding and management measures centered on cold prevention and warmth preservation must be adopted.
1. Cold prevention and warmth preservation. (1) Keep the rabbit hutch temperature suitable. The most suitable growth temperature for domestic rabbits is 10-25°C. In winter and early spring, indoor airflow should be controlled, exhaust fans should be turned off, and rabbit hutches with doors at both ends should have one end closed to reduce drafts, so as to keep the rabbit hutch temperature above 10°C as much as possible. (2) Prevent cold wind from invading. Rabbit hutches should face south with their backs to the north. Before winter begins, inspect and repair the rabbit hutch. Windows should be fitted with glass or covered with film, straw curtains should be hung on doors, and any damage should be repaired promptly to prevent cold wind from striking the rabbits' bodies.
2. Keep the rabbit hutch dry. In winter and early spring, dampness inside the rabbit hutch is not conducive to heat preservation and easily causes respiratory diseases, skin diseases and other diseases in rabbits. Therefore, the rabbit hutch should be kept dry. If the floor is damp, some plant ash or quicklime can be sprinkled to remove moisture.

3. Increase feeding amount and feeding frequency. (1) Feed more energy feed. In winter and early spring, rabbits lose body heat quickly, so the daily feed ration should be increased by 20-30%, especially energy feed such as corn, wheat bran, rice bran, potatoes and sweet potatoes. (2) Increase feeding frequency. In winter and early spring, the feeding frequency for rabbits should be appropriately increased. After 9 p.m., feed concentrated feed one more time to enhance the rabbits' cold resistance.
4. Increase exercise and sunlight. On sunny days around noon, release the rabbits in a wind-sheltered, sunny place to move freely for 1-2 hours, and at the same time carry out cleaning and hygiene inside the hutch and replace the bedding straw.
5. Prevent and treat diseases. For common diseases of rabbits in winter and early spring, adhere to prevention first and treatment as supplementary. Strengthen feeding management and do a good job in environmental hygiene, and disinfect the rabbit hutch regularly. Usually add some garlic, scallions, etc. to the daily ration. Common diseases of rabbits in winter and early spring include colds, constipation, diarrhea and mange, etc. In addition to doing prevention work well, sick rabbits should be isolated and treated promptly when found.
