Precautions Against Dampness in Winter Rabbit Farming

Because winter temperatures are low, rabbit farms often increase stocking density to keep warm, so it is essential to keep the air in the shed fresh. Ventilation openings should be installed in the rabbit shed; if there are no ventilation openings, open the doors and windows at regular intervals, but do not let cold air blow directly onto the rabbits.

Rabbit farms must strictly control the humidity in the rabbit shed; generally, the relative humidity in the shed in winter should be kept at 50-60%. If the shed is damp, sprinkle some plant ash or quicklime to absorb the moisture. During the day, let the rabbits bask in the sun as much as possible, or place the rabbit cages on the sunny side of the shed. In the morning and evening, use artificial lighting of about 5 watts per sq m, for 1 hour of light per day.
