Several tips for getting does to kindle more kits
Supplementing with vitamin E and carotene
Practice has shown that supplementing does with a certain amount of carotene and vitamin E at the right time can achieve the goal of having does kindle more kits. The method is: starting from the third day after the kits are weaned, feed each doe 40 mg of vitamin E and 80 mg of carotene per kilogram of body weight per day; once the doe comes into estrus, halve the amount of both supplements, and continue feeding until 20 days after conception.
The tapping method
After a doe has finished mating, tap her on the rump once; this can raise the kindling rate. Because tapping the doe's rump after mating makes her whole body muscles contract suddenly, and the uterus contracts along with them, drawing the semen deep into the vagina, reducing leakage, and increasing the chance of sperm and egg uniting.
The repeat-mating method
After the doe's first mating, 5 to 6 hours later, mate her once more with the same buck. This breeding method can effectively raise the doe's conception rate and increase the number of kits born.
