How can large-scale rabbit farms prevent disease? These new viewpoints are worth reading

Play down treatment, optimize the rabbit herd. Traditional @#@248@#@ emphasizes treatment over prevention, often turning the 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 highly 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 a rabbit farm implements the "five no-treatment" system, it must carry out epidemic prevention and quarantine work in the rabbit houses, have a thorough knowledge of the health status of every rabbit on the farm, and once a sick rabbit is found, make an accurate diagnosis promptly and handle it decisively, so as to nip the epidemic in the bud.

Reasonable immunization, standardized operation. At present, there are many kinds of infectious diseases in rabbits, but there are also many kinds of vaccines, and a rabbit must be vaccinated from young to old 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, the protection rate produced after vaccination is limited, and there are many factors affecting the rabbit body's production of immunity. Moreover, the immunogenicity of the vaccine and the quality of production are closely related to the effect of immunization. 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 adopted. Rabbits are raised by people, and only by first bringing out people's enthusiasm and initiative can rabbits be raised well. With the constant changes in rabbit diseases and the emergence of new rabbit diseases, veterinary scientists and technicians on rabbit farms cannot meet the requirements of modern rabbit farming by relying only on their original knowledge and traditional experience; they must continuously improve their professional level.
