What are the general taboos for raising rabbits in farms?

1. Avoid moisture and pollution. Rex rabbits are dry and have weak disease resistance. Therefore, they must regularly clean the rabbit cage, rabbit house, feces, wash feeding utensils, disinfect regularly, and keep the rabbit house clean and dry every day, so that pathogenic microorganisms cannot reproduce and parasitize. Prevent the occurrence, prevalence and death of rabbit disease.

2, avoid disturbing. Rex rabbits are timid and frightened, and are highly sensitive. Do not catch them easily or make loud noises. It is forbidden for people to watch and keep a quiet environment. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the intrusion of cats, dogs, weasels, snakes, etc.

3. Avoid extreme heat. Rex rabbits are afraid of heat because their sweat glands are underdeveloped and their whole body is covered with down. Therefore, in summer, the rabbit house should be shaded and ventilated to prevent direct sunlight, and pay attention to temperature and heatstroke prevention.

4. Avoid single feed. A single feed can not meet the needs of Rex rabbits for nutrients, affect appetite, and even cause nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, in order to give Rex rabbits a variety of rations, mainly green and rough, and reasonable matching.

5. Avoid feeding the Rex Rabbit too much. When feeding the rabbits, it is necessary to regularly and quantitatively, and less frequently. In principle, the rabbits can eat well and eat well, and they cannot be too much or too little. Never let the rex rabbits eat while stepping, which will not only waste the feed, but also be susceptible to diseases.

6. Avoid sudden update of feed. If the feed changes suddenly, it is easy to cause the Rex rabbit to lose appetite, or eat too much, resulting in gastrointestinal diseases and other adverse phenomena. When changing the feed, it is necessary to gradually transition, so that the Rex rabbit's digestive function has a gradual adaptation process, which is beneficial to the rabbit's health. Digestion and growth.

7. Avoid feed spoilage and pollution. It is forbidden to feed corrupt, moldy, trampled, polluted, unidentified forages, and green feeds that have been sprayed with dew or pesticides but have not exceeded the safe interval, let alone drink polluted water. Feeds for rex rabbits must be fresh and high-quality , The water should be clean.

8, the day of death to feed the night stop. According to the nocturnal habit of rabbits, feeding Rex rabbits at night should be more than during the day. Especially at night, roughage should be fed once. It is good for the health and fatness of rabbits.

9. Avoid lack of water. Rex rabbits are small and lively. They have a strong metabolism and require a lot of water. Therefore, according to the age of the Rex rabbits, physiological conditions, seasons, climate and the nature of the feed, water should be replenished in time.

10. Avoid inbreeding. Among the professional rabbit raising households, the phenomenon of mating between littermates and mother-son, father-daughter is common. This kind of inbreeding, because the blood relationship is too close, often the offspring have weak physique, poor disease resistance, slow growth and development. Degradation of productivity and viability and fur quality.

11. Avoid premature breeding. The sexual maturity of Rex rabbits is earlier than the physical maturity, and it is not considered that they can be bred when they are in estrus. Generally, female rabbits need to start breeding from May to June: male rabbits are preferably one month older than female rabbits.

12. Avoid promiscuity and random marriage. Generally, male rabbits are bred no more than 2 times a day, and mating for 3 consecutive days should be given a day of rest. The number of ejaculation times of a male rabbit in a year should not exceed 60 times. When re-bred, it is strictly forbidden to have the same serious defect or Conversely, mating with severe defects. Old and old are prohibited. Old and young, young and young rabbits are mated. Old and young females should be mated with mature males. Young males can only be mated with mature females. Usually mature When male and female rabbits mate, their offspring have the most stable heredity and the best viability and production performance.

13. Avoid breeding in summer. It is hot and rainy in summer. Female rabbits are not in normal estrus and are not easy to conceive, and a small number of fetuses are born. Due to the heat, loss of appetite, resulting in insufficient milk supply, poor development of young rabbits, and poor management will lead to the death of young rabbits fighting for the nest. Even if they can tolerate it, Also due to poor development, weak physique, and easy infection of coccidiosis after weaning, a large number of deaths are caused. Some pregnant rabbits often suffer from heatstroke due to high temperature, resulting in miscarriage and dystocia. Male rabbits often cause testicular atrophy due to high temperature, poor semen quality, and more dead sperm , appear with inaccurate. Therefore, breeding should be stopped in summer.

14. Avoid weaning rabbits too early or too late. In general, if weaning is too early, the mortality rate of young rabbits will be higher. If weaning is too late, young rabbits will rely on the mother's milk for nutrition for a long time, which will affect the formation of various enzymes in the digestive tract, which will lead to slow growth of young rabbits. The health of rabbits and the annual reproduction of the fetus also have a direct impact. Therefore, the weaning of young rabbits should be 40-50 days.

15. Avoid blindly mixed feeding. Rex rabbits are raised in mixed groups, the infection is difficult to control, and the phenomenon of biting is easy to occur. Generally, young rabbits should be raised in groups according to male, female, growth speed and body size. When caged, each cage can put 4-5 young rabbits. During the breeding period , The male and female rabbits have begun to be sexually mature. The female rabbit has begun to estrus, and the male rabbit has been able to produce sperm. Therefore, the male and female rabbits should be kept in separate cages, preferably one rabbit per cage.

16. Avoid imperfect rules and regulations. Rabbits should be raised according to their living habits, different feeding methods, different types, different seasons, etc. To establish technical rules and regulations such as feeding management and epidemic prevention, such as timing, quantitative, constant temperature, quality, regular preventive injection and other management.
