Feeding and Management Methods for Does to Produce More Female Rabbits
How to Make Does Produce More Female Rabbits
1. Use the pattern that the more a buck mates, the more female rabbits are born. Use a buck that has already mated continuously for 7 days and mate it with the doe on the first or second day of estrus. With these two methods, 34 litters were tested, and 208 rabbits were born, of which 161 were female, accounting for 77.4%.
2. Increase the doe's exercise, and use the method of increasing the doe's creatine content to lower the uterine PH value so that the doe produces more female rabbits. During the doe's estrus, it can be placed in a slightly larger activity space, and methods such as chasing and nudging can be used to make it move frequently and become fatigued, and then mating is carried out. With this method, 4 litters were tested, and the rate of female rabbits produced was above 65%.
3. From 8 to 12 days before mating, add 20 grams of glucose and 50 milligrams of vitamin E to the mixed feed every day, and stop feeding after mating. With this method of mating, the number of female rabbits born can be about 12% higher than that of male rabbits.
