What are the key points to note in rabbit farming? Understand the main breeding points in one article
Rabbits are currently a very good farming project in our country, and the farming area in our country is very large. However, rabbits are not that easy to raise. Rabbits grow relatively slowly and have many diseases. If management is slightly poor, the economic benefits are very low. Therefore, when raising rabbits, there are many things we need to pay close attention to. So what are the key points to note in rabbit farming? Let's take a look together with the editor below!
1. Pay attention to temperature
The fur of rabbits is very thick, and their sweat glands are not very well developed, so the heat they release themselves is very little. Therefore, rabbits have very strong cold resistance, but they are absolutely not suitable for growing in a relatively hot and humid environment. Especially in the continuously hot and stuffy summer, if the temperature is not controlled well, rabbits are extremely prone to illness, and in severe cases it can lead to death. So we must pay attention to controlling the temperature well. The suitable temperature for raising rabbits is generally around 20 degrees. If the temperature is too high, it will cause a decrease in the rabbits' food intake, leading to malnutrition and reduced production capacity, etc.
2. Pay attention to humidity
Rabbits are very prone to disease during growth, and their disease resistance is also very poor. If disease occurs, it will have a very large impact on the growth of rabbits. Especially in overly humid places, various microorganisms and bacteria are extremely easy to produce. Rabbit fur is also prone to matting, leading to a decline in economic value. Therefore, we must pay attention to controlling the humidity of the cage and hutch, and pay attention to drinking water. The water in the trough should not be filled too full; if it is too full, it is easy to spill out. We must pay attention to keeping the rabbit hutch clean and hygienic. The cage and hutch should not be too wet, so as to ensure the healthy growth of rabbits.
3. Pay attention to feed
Feed is very important for the growth of rabbits, so we must also pay attention to controlling the feed well. The daily ration of rabbits should not be too single; a variety of feeds should be used in combination. If the feed is single for a long time, rabbits will lack nutrition, thereby affecting the normal development of rabbits. Sufficient feed can supplement various nutrients for rabbits and improve the economic value of rabbits. Then we must also pay attention to maintaining a clean and tidy environment. A high-quality environment is very beneficial to the health of rabbits. If the environment is too dirty and messy, it will increase the incidence of disease in rabbits.
4. Pay attention to supplementary feeding at night
During the day, rabbits are very quiet and do not move much, so their food intake is not very large. On the contrary, at night, rabbits become more active, and the evening is also the peak period for rabbits to eat, and the food intake throughout the night is also very large. So when feeding rabbits, we must pay attention to reasonably arranging the feeding schedule. Especially at night, sufficient forage should be prepared for supplementary feeding. This is very necessary for the growth of rabbits, and everyone must pay close attention to it.
