What are the considerations when formulating feed for rabbits
Pay attention to selecting ingredients according to local conditions. The selected raw materials must not only meet the nutritional needs of domestic rabbits, but also suit local conditions, using locally available forage as much as possible.
Pay attention to feed diversity. Combining a variety of feeds can play a role in nutritional complementation.
Pay attention to seasonal differences. In most regions of China, green succulent feed is scarce in winter and spring, and domestic rabbits are prone to vitamin deficiency, so supplementation should be noted.
Pay attention to feed palatability. Domestic rabbits like bitter lettuce, alfalfa (Medicago sativa), and soybean, and dislike forage with a musty or fishy smell.
Be economical and practical. Fish meal is expensive, so it can be included in rabbit feed at 2%~3%.
