Key Points of Rabbit Farming Technology and Daily Feeding Management Methods
The rabbit is a very cute animal, and in our country many people keep it as a pet. There are also farming operations for meat rabbits and fur rabbits. Market demand in our country is very large, and the farming area for all kinds of rabbit farming directions is now very large. So if you want to farm rabbits on a large scale, how should you go about it? Today the editor brings you rabbit farming technology. Let's take a look below!
1. Selection of Breeding Rabbits
The first step in farming rabbits is certainly to choose a good rabbit breed. First, we need to select healthy, strong-growing female rabbits with no diseases, good estrus status and normal organs as breeding rabbits. The requirements for selecting male rabbits are similar to those for female rabbits. However, we should also choose suitable breeds for farming according to the local weather and demand. After selecting the breeding rabbits, do the mating work well. First, mate the same male and female rabbit repeatedly two times or more, or mate the female rabbit with different male rabbits. This improves the conception and litter rate of the female rabbit. If there is no estrus, then induce estrus to promote the secretion of sex hormones in the female rabbit.
2. Environment Selection
The environment of the rabbit house also has a very big relationship with the growth of rabbits. The rabbit house environment must be kept relatively dry, with no water accumulation, sufficient light and strong ventilation. Only in this way can the healthy growth of rabbits be ensured. Set up houses for young rabbits, mating rabbits, pregnant rabbits, etc., to provide different environments for rabbits at different growth stages. Strengthen the growth ability of rabbits. Before putting in the breeding rabbits, the rabbit house must be disinfected, and management must be strengthened to prevent bacterial infection, which can cause diseases. This affects the healthy growth of rabbits and leads to a decline in farming benefits.
3. Feeding of Young Rabbits
The period after young rabbits have grown to 3 months and before they enter the mating stage belongs to the young rabbit stage. Young rabbits grow relatively fast, and their metabolic rate also increases, so their demand for nutrients is also relatively large. At this time, we should increase the nutritional ratio in the feed and increase the content of nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Mainly use green feed, and after reaching about 5 months of age, appropriately reduce it to prevent the rabbits from becoming too fat. Also pay attention to doing group feeding work well, to prevent young rabbits from mating randomly or mating too early, and to improve the quality of breeding rabbits.
4. Group Management
Grouping is a task that needs attention in meat rabbit farming. First, we should pay attention to controlling the density well and doing group management well. Adult rabbits should be kept at about 25 per group. Keeping males and females separately not only makes management easier, but also promotes the growth of the rabbits. When grouping, we should also plan according to the weight and growth ability of each rabbit. Prevent the phenomenon of the big bullying the small. Then we should strengthen the feed management of rabbits. Since rabbits have the habit of eating at night, we also need to feed them at night to satisfy the growth habits of rabbits.
The above is a brief introduction to rabbit farming technology. There are many rabbit breeds, and each breed has relatively suitable farming methods, so we should reasonably adjust the farming methods according to the different breeds. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for reading and supporting.
