Winter longhair rabbit feeding and management points

With the increase in the purchase price of rabbit fur, the long-hair rabbit breeding industry began to recover. Many farmers' friends began to shift their focus on breeding to long-haired rabbits. However, in the rearing and management, the author found that some farmers spent a lot of money to buy back good breed rabbits, but they were still old in feeding and management, resulting in a significant decline in the hair production performance of fine breed rabbits, and it took a long time for them to change. Become an ordinary rabbit. Now, talk about the feeding and management points of winter long-haired rabbits for reference by farmers.

(1) Keeping warm and cold: The rabbit house should face south as far as possible. Indoors, keep doors and windows closed to prevent cold winds from attacking. Thicker and softer bedding should be laid on the ground. Outdoor strawing or corn stover should be added to the north of rabbit house. , cover the plastic film on the south to increase the temperature.

(B) timely shearing: After entering the winter, the temperature gradually decreases, although this change does not help the cold, but the lower temperature is very beneficial to the growth of rabbit hair, in order to prevent the cold, the rabbit body will not only speed up the growth rate of rabbit hair, but also Increase fineness and density. When the rabbit's hair reaches the standard, it is necessary to select the sunny day of noon shearing or plucking, the abdominal hair to stay longer when the hair is cut to protect the internal organs from wind and cold. Open-haired long-haired rabbits are best kept in the house for 1 to 2 weeks after shearing and then returned to the original place for rearing.

(3) Reasonable feeding: In addition to increasing the supply of concentrate during the winter season, pelleted feed should be fed as far as conditions are available. This will not only provide comprehensive nutrition but also effectively prevent the occurrence of diarrheal diseases. When processing pellet feeds, the amount of vitamins added should be increased 3 to 4 times to prevent damage due to high temperatures during processing. If you feed the wet material, do not add too much at a time to avoid wastage, and avoid freezing at the same time, so as not to cause diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal inflammation. When the outside temperature is particularly low, it is best to feed the powder with hot water before feeding. Do not drink frozen water when drinking water. Add warm water in winter and add less ground.

(4) Adding green materials: In autumn and winter, sufficient advantages of grasses should be fully utilized to store more hay. At the same time, in the harvest of autumn crops, peanuts, corn stalks, etc. should be properly drying, not only to avoid the drying time caused by vitamin reduction, but also to prevent excessive humidity caused by mildew. Winter green feed is relatively lacking. In order to ensure the normal breeding of rabbits and the growth of rabbit hair, qualified farmers should grow some grass suitable for multi-quarter growth to ensure that they can eat green feed every day. Otherwise, in addition to feeding the hay and crop stalks stored in the fall, succulent feed such as carrots and radish should be fed.

(5) Strengthen management: As the temperature decreases, more and more calories are consumed by the long-haired rabbits. Therefore, the proportion of concentrates in the diet should be increased by 10% to 20% or more. At the same time, the feed ratio should be kept stable to avoid frequent changes. When the rabbits are breast-feeding, it is necessary to extend the breast-feeding time appropriately. The newly weaned rabbits should not feed the excessive green and juicy feed to prevent diarrhea due to intestinal discomfort. In addition, rabbit excrement should be cleaned regularly to keep the rabbithouse clean and keep the air fresh. If the rabbit house is damp, sprinkle some sawdust or ash on the ground. This will not only keep the tide but also keep warm. Once the smell in the house is large, you should choose to open the window and ventilate when the temperature is high at noon, but avoid forming a draft.

(6) Sanitizing and disinfecting: In order to prevent bacterial and viral infections, they should be disinfected every 7 to 10 days. When the disinfection is performed, sunny and windless weather should be selected. If necessary, disinfectant can be added to drinking water in a certain proportion for long hair. Rabbit drinking. Here, farmers need to be reminded that whether it is environmental disinfection or drinking water disinfection, we must choose a disinfectant with low irritant, high safety factor and can be sterilized with livestock.

(7) Preventing frostbite: Because the skin of long-haired rabbits is thin, in winter, keep warm measures for shearing rabbits, breast-feeding rabbits and weaned-being rabbits to prevent frostbite. In bad weather with windy, snowy and cool temperatures, be sure to carefully check the condition of the rabbit. Once frostbite is found, it is necessary to take corresponding rescue measures in time; move the frostbite rabbit to a place with higher temperature and then swell in the skin. Apply red oil to vegetable oil. If the swelling is serious, apply iodine glycerine. If there is a crack, apply the appropriate amount of antibiotic ointment after squeezing out the liquid. If necessary, apply dressing.

(8) Prevention and treatment of diseases: In the late autumn and early winter period, all long-haired rabbits over 1 month of age must be injected with rabbit bracts and Pasteurella multocida seedlings. For pregnant female rabbits, the action during injection should be light to avoid causing miscarriage. The specific injection dose was: 1.5 ml of 2 month old rabbits and 2 ml above 2 months of age. To ensure good immunity, it is best to use locally produced vaccines. In order to prevent epidemics, it is necessary to prevent colds, diarrhoea, and other common diseases, and usually add antibacterial drugs such as diuretic, compound sulfamethoxazole and other drugs in the feed according to the course of treatment. Take or inject. When using drugs to prevent diseases, bactericidal drugs such as oxytetracycline and ppa must be avoided so as not to damage the normal flora in the gut and cause digestive diseases. If the medication is taken for a long time, besides stopping the drug in time, the probiotics can be added to the feed to restore the normal function of the intestinal tract.

(9) Strengthen sports: In order to increase the adaptability of long-haired rabbits, proper movement of long-haired rabbits should be maintained in autumn and winter. Shelter should be exercised at any time, and when the cage is raised, windless and sunny weather should be chosen every 10 days or so. Long-haired rabbits should be placed in a place where there is plenty of sunshine, leewardness, and good air circulation.
