1. Avoid letting rabbits live in an environment with high temperature and humidity
Temperature seriously affects the growth and development, reproductive ability, feed utilization and fattening performance of rabbits. For adult rabbits, the most comfortable temperature is 10°C to 25°C, and the most suitable temperature for newborn rabbits is 30°C to 32°C. Generally, when the temperature of the rabbit house is higher than 33°C, the owner needs to take timely cooling measures. When the temperature is lower than 5°C, the owner needs to take timely warming measures. At the same time, humidity also has a great impact on rabbits. Breeders need to pay attention to keeping the relative humidity of the rabbit house at 60% to 65%. Only rabbits feel the most suitable humidity. They should pay attention to avoid the humidity of the rabbit house being lower than 55% and higher than 70%. .
2. Do a good job in preventing rabbit diseases
The mortality rate of rabbits infected with infectious diseases is often very high, but some small rabbit farmers do not pay attention to rabbit disease prevention and always Waiting until the rabbit shows symptoms before treating it, but this often does not achieve the desired treatment effect. Therefore, rabbit owners must establish the awareness that prevention is more important than treatment, and vaccinate rabbits regularly, such as regularly injecting rabbits with E. coli vaccine, Weiwei vaccine and other anti-epidemic vaccines. At the same time, pay attention to the sanitation and disinfection of the rabbit house, regularly spray the rabbit house with 10% to 20% quicklime water, and pay attention to maintaining ventilation in the rabbit house to prevent excessive ammonia in the rabbit house and allow the rabbits to breathe fresh air.
3. Avoid random introduction of rabbits
Rabbit farmers must go to regular large-scale breeding rabbit farms to introduce breeding rabbits. Do not buy breeding rabbits at the market at will. Most of the rabbits sold on the market are commercial rabbits rather than breeding rabbits. Although commercial rabbits can also reproduce and give birth, the production performance of their offspring is low and they cannot bring good economic benefits. In addition, during the process of introducing rabbits, owners must present various relevant documents such as business licenses and breeding livestock and poultry production and operation licenses to ensure the variety and quality of breeding rabbits.
4. Avoid introducing too many breeds
Generally speaking, if you have already introduced meat rabbit breeds, it is best not to introduce long-haired rabbits or rex rabbit breeds. It is advisable to raise one breed alone, and up to two breeds. Because too many introduced varieties can easily cause many inconveniences in rabbit breeding and management, affecting the economic benefits of rabbit farms. Of course, if the owner's breeding farm is large, the owner has rich breeding experience, and is confident in handling multiple rabbit species, it can also be raised.
