How to build a rabbit house? What are the rabbit raising equipment?

The breeding industry is actually a very profitable business, and many people have begun to join, and raising rabbits has become the first choice for most people. Rabbit raising does not require manual labor, and it can be done by the elderly and women, which meets the breeding needs of most people. However, in addition to the need for a certain amount of experience and technology to breed rabbits, a scientific rabbit house is also crucial.

How to build a rabbit house

1. Terrain

The site of the rabbit house should be selected in a place with high, dry and flat terrain, suitable slope, leeward and sunny, low groundwater level and good drainage.

2. Water source and water quality

Generally, the water demand of rabbit houses is relatively large, such as drinking water for rabbits, water for feeding and management, such as cleaning and sanitation water for rabbit house cages, water for planting feed crops and water for daily life, etc., there must be sufficient water sources. And the production and living water should be clean and odorless, free of excessive impurities, bacteria and parasites, free of corruption and toxic substances, and should meet the standards of human drinking water.

3. Soil

Sandy soil is the best choice for building a rabbit house. The sandy soil has good water permeability, can ensure that the dryness and humidity reach the standard, the thermal conductivity is small, and it has good thermal insulation performance. Sandy soil has high compressive strength, which is conducive to cage construction.

4. Rabbit house design

It should be in line with the living habits of rabbits, which is conducive to the improvement of growth and development and production performance; it is convenient for feeding and management and improving work efficiency; it is conducive to cleaning and sanitation and preventing the spread of epidemic diseases.

5. Rabbit house cleaning

The defecation ditch must have a certain slope, so that when cleaning and flushing with water, the feces and urine can be smoothly discharged out of the house, leading to the septic tank, and it is also convenient for the urine to be discharged outside the house at any time, thereby reducing the humidity and harmful gas concentration in the house. For epidemic prevention and disinfection, disinfection pools or disinfection trays should be set up at the entrance of rabbit farms and rabbit houses, and disinfection solutions should be easily replaced.

What are the rabbit raising equipment

1. Rabbit feeding trough

It is recommended to use an external sealing type automatic feeding trough for rabbit breeding. This feeding trough is hung on the cage door. When the rabbit feeds, the head extends into the feeding trough from the mouth of the cage, which can effectively prevent the contamination of the feed and feed, and also prevent the larvae. The rabbit came out of its mouth. The feeding trough is composed of a feeding port, a storage bin, a feeding trough and a partition. It is very convenient to feed outside the cage and easy to operate.

2. Rabbit drinking fountain

It is recommended to use a water supply system connected to a duckbill drinking fountain with a pure water bottle hanging from the rabbit drinking fountain, that is, the pure water bottle on the home drinking fountain is hung upside down above the rabbit cage, and a plastic pipe is connected to the bottle mouth to connect with multiple drinking fountains. The rear of each rabbit cage.

3. Excrement and urine separation sewage system

The feces and urine separation sewage system is a very important part. The advantage of feces and urine separation is that it can greatly reduce the concentration of ammonia odor in the rabbit house, reduce the stimulation to the rabbit mucous membrane, and thus control the occurrence of infectious rhinitis and respiratory tract inflammation.

4. Rabbit farrowing box

The farrowing box is the main facility for the female rabbits to give birth and raise their young in an artificially simulated cave environment. The warmth, ventilation, size and shape of the birthing box, the bedding in the birthing box and the placement of the birthing box have a great impact on the survival rate and development of the young rabbits. box.

How to design a rabbit cage better

1. Rabbit cage wall: The cage wall made of cement board requires a smooth surface, no moisture absorption, and no water storage. If it is a wire cage, there should be no burrs.

2. Rabbit cage roof: The rabbit cage roof is required to be able to prevent heat and cold. The fixed cage can be made of cement board. The top of the wire cage generally doubles as a manure bearing board, which requires complete coverage and no water leakage on each layer, especially the junction between the cages.

3. Cage bottom plate: The cage bottom plate is the key part of the rabbit cage. The best cage bottom plate is the front plate and rear slatted type, that is, the front 2/3 of the cage bottom plate is made of rubber wood, and the rear 1/3 is a slatted bamboo plate. The advantage of this cage bottom is that it can not only effectively prevent the occurrence of foot dermatitis, but also effectively control the hygiene in the cage.

4. Dung bearing board: The dung bearing board is generally installed under the bottom of the cage, which mainly plays the role of receiving feces and urine. It flows backwards and flows into the fecal and urinal ditch. The requirements for the manure bearing board are that the front, back, left and right coverage should be strict, there should be no gaps between the upper and lower layers, and there should be a certain distance between the cage bottom and the cage bottom.

5. Cage door: The key to setting the cage door is convenient opening and closing, tight closing, and easy operation after opening. The height of the cage door should be basically the same as the height of the cage, and the width is generally about 30 cm.

What is the difference between a hare and a rabbit

1. Body shape

Rabbits are larger in size, generally weighing more than 3.5 kg and up to 8 kg. The hares are relatively much smaller, generally weighing about 2.5 kilograms, the largest being 3.5 kilograms, and 4 kilograms of hares are very rare.

2. Appearance

The ears of domestic rabbits are shorter than those of hares, and their bodies are larger than those of hares, but hares have longer forelimbs and tails. In fact, this is also convenient for escaping in the wild, because rabbits are the bottom of the food chain, and the wild environment is very dangerous for them. Therefore, sharper hearing and more developed limbs are required, which are not available in domestic rabbits.

3. Chromosomes

The rabbit has 22 pairs of chromosomes, and the hare has 24 pairs, a difference of 2 pairs. The relationship between the two is even far less than that of a horse and a donkey (the former has 32 pairs of chromosomes, and the latter has 31 pairs), which means that they cannot mate.

The construction of the rabbit house is introduced here first, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Many times people say that breeding requires a lot of technology, but in fact, the most basic measures are the key to breeding. If you want to raise rabbits, you should start with the rabbit house.
