Play down treatment and optimize the rabbit herd. Traditional rabbit farming emphasizes treatment over prevention, often turning a rabbit farm into a sanatorium for sick rabbits. To change this situation, some experts have proposed the "five no-treatment" rule for sick rabbits: do not treat rabbits that cannot be cured, do not treat rabbits whose treatment cost is high, do not treat rabbits whose treatment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, do not treat rabbits whose economic value after recovery is not high, and do not treat rabbits that are highly contagious and harmful. Practice has proved that after rabbit farms implemented this system, the health status of the rabbit herd improved markedly, virulent infectious diseases were effectively controlled, and medical costs

Play down treatment and optimize the rabbit herd. Traditional @#@248@#@ emphasizes treatment over prevention, often turning a rabbit farm into a sanatorium for sick rabbits. To change this situation, some experts have proposed the "five no-treatment" rule for sick rabbits: do not treat rabbits that cannot be cured, do not treat rabbits whose treatment cost is high, do not treat rabbits whose treatment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, do not treat rabbits whose economic value after recovery is not high, and do not treat rabbits that are highly contagious and harmful. Practice has proved that after rabbit farms implemented this system, the health status of the rabbit herd improved markedly, virulent infectious diseases were effectively controlled, medical costs also dropped, and economic benefits increased significantly. After implementing the "five no-treatment" system, rabbit farms must go deep into the rabbit houses to carry out epidemic prevention and quarantine work, have a thorough understanding of the health status of every rabbit on the farm, and once a sick rabbit is found, make an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner, handle it decisively, and nip the disease in the bud.

Reasonable immunization and standardized operation. At present, there are many types of infectious diseases in rabbits, but there are also many types of vaccines, and a rabbit must be vaccinated from youth to adulthood from time to time. Even so, infectious diseases still cannot be effectively controlled and eliminated. Both the theory and practice of immunization show that rabbits that have been vaccinated do not mean that they will not develop diseases later. This is because no vaccine can produce a 100% protection rate, and the protection rate produced after vaccination is limited. There are many factors that affect the rabbit body's production of immunity, and moreover, the immunogenicity of the vaccine and the quality of production are closely related to the immunization effect. Therefore, scientific management must also be carried out alongside reasonable immunization.

Scientific management, people-oriented. In the management of large-scale rabbit farms, a people-oriented approach should be taken. Rabbits are raised by people, and only by first bringing out people's enthusiasm and initiative can rabbits be raised well. As rabbit diseases constantly change and new rabbit diseases appear, the veterinary scientific and technical personnel on rabbit farms cannot meet the requirements of modern rabbit farming with only their original knowledge and traditional experience, and they must continuously improve their professional level.
