What are the feeding methods for nursing mother rabbits?
Feeding of nursing mother rabbits
From the birth of the kits to their weaning, the lactation period of the mother rabbit lasts 40 to 45 days. The milk yield of the mother rabbit is closely related to the quality and quantity of the feed, and the weight gain of the kits is in turn related to the milk yield of the mother rabbit. During lactation, the amount of feed should be gradually increased, and the feed should be clean and fresh. In addition to green, succulent feed, more protein-rich concentrated feed and mineral feed should also be added, such as: soybean cake, wheat bran, soybeans, soybean residue, as well as bone meal, fish meal, salt, etc. When the feed cannot meet the nutritional needs of the nursing mother rabbit, she will draw on the large amount of nutrients stored in her body, thereby reducing the body weight of the mother rabbit, harming her health and affecting her milk yield.
