Rabbit feeding and management

Rabbits from birth to weaning are called rabbits. During this period, the rabbits had fast growth, development of the body was not yet perfect, and the disease resistance and adaptability to the outside were poor. It was the period when rabbits were most difficult to raise. Therefore, we must seriously feed and care.

Rabbit breeding

During the sleeping period (birth ~ 12 days of age), the rabbits will be able to eat milk after they are born. Early feeding and full-fat milk have a lot to do with the healthy growth of the rabbits, especially the consumption of colostrum is extremely important. Colostrum refers to the milk within 1 to 3 days after birth in the female rabbit. It is rich in protein and immune antibodies, can enhance the disease resistance of rabbits and increase the survival rate. Within 6 hours to 10 hours after the rabbit is born, it is necessary to examine the feeding condition of the female rabbit and find that the rabbit has not eaten milk, and the female rabbit should be nursed in time. Check whether the rabbit is full or not. The performance of the rabbit's fullness is to sleep well, the abdomen is swollen, the skin is ruddy, and the hair is bright; the sub-rabbits who are not fully fed are not quiet in the nest, the stomach is empty and the skin is wrinkled. Shrink, restless.

Open eye period

Rabbits opened their eyes about 12 days after they were born. After opening their eyes, they were refreshed. They would hop in and out of the nest box, and the growth and development would be very fast. The breastmilk would begin to decrease, and often it would be insufficient for rabbits to eat. Often catching the female sucking milk, so the opening period is also known as milk recovery period. This period of time from eye opening to weaning is called eye opening. Rabbits open eyes sooner or later have a lot to do with development. Well-developed rabbits open their eyes early. If the rabbit does not open its eyes 14 days after birth, it is often physically weak and susceptible to illness.

Rabbits jumped out of the nest box a few days after opening their eyes, called out of the nest. At this time, due to the increasing weight of the rabbit, the female rabbit's milk could not meet the needs of the rabbit. Generally from the 16th to the 18th day of age should be fed in time, began to feed less easily digestible and nutrient-rich feed, such as soy milk, milk, rice soup or chopped green grass, leaves and so on. After 20 days of age, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and stomachic drugs such as oatmeal, bran or bean dregs, and a small amount of charcoal powder, inorganic salt and garlic can be added to enhance physical fitness and reduce disease.

Rabbit Management

Insulation antifreeze, heatstroke cooling newborn rabbits have no body hair, body temperature regulation ability is not perfect, easy to freeze to death, especially in the cold season should be better insulation and antifreeze work. In the production box should be placed good insulation, moisture absorption, dry and soft straw, wheat straw, etc., and then spread a layer of warm rabbit hair. Especially in the winter and spring when the temperature in the house is lower than 15°C, it is very important to do a good job of confinement. The main reason is to prevent the female rabbit from producing the rabbit outside the nest box. The temperature in the production tank should be maintained at 30°C-32°C and the room temperature should not be lower than 15°C.

In summer, the weather is hot, rainy and humid, mosquitoes and flies are paralyzed. When the rabbit is born naked, it is naked and easy to be bitten. The childbirth box should be put in a safe place, and the cover should be covered with gauze. The ventilation should be kept cool.

Keeping the environment quiet and preventing rodent and accidental casualties

Rabbits have closed eyes during sleep and their ears are blocked. They eat at all times except for breastfeeding. Therefore, you should keep a quiet rabbithouse environment. Do not be alarmed. You must also prevent rat damage. The rabbits that have opened their eyes are active and lively. Sometimes they jump out of the birthing box. If they are not discovered in time, they are often frozen to death, starved to death, or killed or fractured.

Adjust the foster rabbit

The average number of females per birth is 5-7, more than 10, and only 1 less than 2. In order to increase the survival rate of the rabbits, it is possible to foster the mother rabbits who have fewer calves and do not eat milk, to give birth to fewer females. When fostering, the maternal rabbit is required to have a similar date of delivery. It is generally advisable not to exceed 3 days. When fostering, the rabbits are first removed from the childbirth box and divided into nests according to body size and physical strength. Then, a few drops of the female rabbit's milk or urine are smeared on the rabbit and placed in the production box and mixed with the original rabbit. Contact, mixed odor, general foster success.

Timely weaning

The rabbits were generally weaned at 40 days - 45 days of age. Prematurely weaned, the digestive system of the rabbit's gastrointestinal tract is not fully developed, and poor digestion of the feed will affect the growth and development. The specific weaning time should be based on the rabbit's constitution. A weaning method can be adopted, that is, the mother and the child are separately reared at the same time. The female rabbit only feeds green material within 2 to 3 days of weaning and stops feeding to stop the milk. For example, if the whole body of the rabbit is of different physiques and the growth and development are not uniform, batch weaning can be used. That is to say, we must first wean the baby with strong constitution, and the infirm should continue breastfeeding. After a few days, weaning will be carried out depending on the situation. Before and after the weaning of rabbits, we should adopt the method of keeping milk away from the cage 1 week to 2 weeks after weaning. Try to make feed, environment, and management unchanged as much as possible to prevent unfavorable stress reactions.

prevent disease

After the rabbit has started eating, coccidiosis can be caused by ingestion of feed contaminated with coccidia or female rabbit feces. Therefore, it is necessary to add a small amount of garlic, green onions, etc. in the feed, and promptly clean up the feces, regularly sterilize the rabbit houses, rabbit cages and utensils, keep the ground clean and dry, well ventilated, to prevent coccidiosis and parasitic diseases, regularly in the rabbit Adding 0.1% potassium permanganate to drinking water can prevent digestive tract infections. One week after the rabbit was born, if the female rabbit had mastitis or the nipple was contaminated by the surrounding environment, the rabbit would suffer from yellow urine and soon die. Therefore, we must pay special attention to the health work of the female rabbits and the environment. At least once a week we should clean the rabbit's breasts and spray the rabbit cages. If we find that the female rabbit has mastitis, we should stop breastfeeding immediately.
