Key Points on Nutrition and Feeding Management of Rabbit Feed in Summer

Livestock Farming 0 views
In summer, supplement the rabbit's daily feed with feed protein and trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus. In hot weather, domestic rabbits generally have reduced appetite, so the compound diet should be varied; feed mixed feed at fixed times and in fixed amounts, giving small portions frequently, and prevent the feed from becoming moldy. The remaining shortfall should be supplemented with roughage such as green grass, vegetable leaves, hay, and tree leaves. It is best to shift feeding time from daytime to nighttime, and provide clean water at noon. In summer, manure and urine ferment easily, and parasites and bacteria multiply and spread very quickly, so attention must be paid to feed and drinking water hygiene; it is forbidden to collect plants that are toxic or contaminated with pesticides.

Rabbits should be given warm boiled water to drink, and must never be given unclean stagnant water or sewage. On cloudy and rainy days, prevent the occurrence of enteritis and coccidiosis, regularly feed green hay or charcoal powder, and mix some chopped onions, garlic, and Chinese chives into the mixed concentrate, which helps expel intestinal parasites.
