New techniques for efficient rabbit farming: master the methods to boost farming returns
New methods for efficient rabbit farming
So-called efficient means improving on the original farming method, that is, raising its farming efficiency.
The methods by which large-scale rabbit farming enterprises improve farming efficiency generally start from two aspects: one is increasing the number of kits born, and the other is raising the survival rate of the young.
Among the methods for raising the kindling rate, "blood mating" is more direct and also easier to master. However, it causes too much damage to the doe. If the problem of damage to the doe can be solved, the "blood mating" method would still be of great help to us in raising the kindling rate.
Here is a method: divide the does into two groups, one group used for kindling, and the other responsible for nursing. The specific practice: when a doe has just kindled, give its young to another doe that has just been weaned to raise. This method is also introduced in "Clever Use of Foster Does Lightens the Load for Rex Rabbits." The advantages of this method: the number of kits born can be increased accordingly, and the requirements for the breeding doe are pure breed, strong body, and high kindling rate. The requirements for the nursing doe are: strong body, abundant milk, and good mothering ability. Compared with traditional rabbit farming, the requirements for the breeding doe are lowered.
In practice, this method can indeed bring us benefits, but one doe's milk can only feed 8 young. The ratio of nursing does to young is 1:8 (8 young require 1 doe to nurse them). Its efficiency is still quite low.
Just imagine, if a "small mammal milk feeder (foster doe)" can feed 12 young at a time, and a "small mammal milk feeder (foster doe)" filled with one can of milk can feed 120 young. The ratio of "small mammal milk feeders (foster does)" to the rabbit young they feed is 1:120. Its efficiency can be raised 15 times. What matters is that nursing does are living creatures and consume feed. This is equivalent to saying that the use of one "small mammal milk feeder (foster doe)" can save the feed needed to keep 15 nursing does alive. So how much feed does one doe need per day to stay alive? And per year? Then multiplied by 15? This is just the benefit that one "small mammal milk feeder (foster doe)" brings us in one respect.
