It is best not to feed green vegetables to rabbits when they are young, because they contain too much water and are prone to diarrhea. Feed and water are all that is needed. It is best to feed them regularly and quantitatively. It is not easy to feed them too much. Otherwise, it will cause abdominal distension. Don’t be afraid, but it’s best not to feed vegetables with a lot of water. If you feed them, don’t feed them water. Rabbits are key building/feeding food

1. 15-90 days of age: The digestive organs of rabbits at this stage are not fully developed, so it is the period when rabbits are most likely to get sick due to food. It is also the most cautious period when it comes to food matching and supply. The basic tenet should be to err on the side of having less than too much, preferring simplicity to miscellaneous, and eating less and more meals. 1. The recipe combination should be: pasture > rabbit food > vegetables, that is, the recipe should be based on grass, rabbit food as a supplement, and vegetables should not be fed temporarily or only in very small amounts. Juicy feed (vegetables) has a laxative effect, so eating vegetables may cause diarrhea for rabbits of this age, so they should not be fed or fed in very small amounts. The palatability of rabbit food is generally better than that of forage, so overfeeding rabbit food will reduce the amount of grass that rabbits eat, and may also lead to serious consequences such as indigestion, stomach accumulation, and diarrhea. 2. The combination of pasture types should be: Graminous forage (Timothy, etc.) + Leguminous forage (Alfalfa, etc.). The supply should be Graminous forage - unlimited supply, leguminous forage - fixed and rationed. The nutritional value of leguminous forage is generally higher than that of grass forage, so overfeeding may lead to obesity in rabbits and lead to nutritional diarrhea and an increase in soft stools. 3. The daily supply quantity of each type of recipe: grasses (eat as you like) + leguminous grasses (grab 1 handful during the day, 2-3 handfuls at night) + rabbit food (40-80 grams per day, each Feed 2-3 times a day) + drink water (80-120 ml). 4. The ratio of food supply between day and night: 30%-40% during the day and 60%-70% at night. Rabbits are nocturnal animals, and their eating at night and at night accounts for about 70% of the day. Therefore, sufficient drinking water and pasture must be prepared for rabbits before going to bed every night, and a meal of rabbit food must be arranged before going to bed.

2. 90-180 days old: Rabbits at this stage have basically mature digestive organs and their demand for various nutrients gradually increases due to body development, so the food mix is ??different. 1. The recipe combination should be: pasture > rabbit food > vegetables. The recipe is still based on pasture, supplemented by rabbit food. The daily feeding amount of vegetables is one head of lettuce or half a carrot. 2. The combination of pasture types should be: Graminous forage (Timothy, etc.) + Leguminous forage (Alfalfa, etc.). The supply should be unlimited for Graminous forage and regular and quantitative for Leguminous forage. 3. The daily supply quantity of each type of recipe: grasses (eat as you like) + leguminous grasses (2 handfuls during the day, 3-4 handfuls at night) + rabbit food (80-100 grams per day, each Feed 2-3 times a day) + vegetables (1 lettuce or half a carrot a day) + drinking water (120-250 ml). 4. The ratio of food supply between day and night: 30%-40% during the day and 60%-70% at night.

3. 180 days to 4 years old: At this stage, all the body indicators of rabbits are very stable, and all organs are mature. This is the best time to raise rabbits. During this period, the nutritional energy intake and consumption should be basically the same to avoid gaining weight. , so the food mix is ??different. 1. The recipe combination should be: pasture > rabbit food, rabbit food = vegetables. The recipe is still based on pasture, supplemented by rabbit food. The daily feeding amount of vegetables is one head of lettuce or half a carrot. 2. The combination of pasture types should be: Graminous forage (Timothy, etc.) + Leguminous forage (Alfalfa, etc.). The supply should be unlimited supply of gramineous forage and small amount of leguminous forage. Just grab a handful every day. Or you can just not feed it. 3. The daily supply quantity of each type of recipe: grass (eat as you like) + leguminous grass (catch 1 handful at night or not feed) + rabbit food (100 grams per day, fed 2-3 times a day) ) + vegetables (1 lettuce or half a carrot per day) + drinking water (250-500 ml). 4. The ratio of food supply between day and night: 30%-40% during the day and 60%-70% at night. Four. 4 years old - Guixi: Rabbits at this stage are gradually transitioning from prime age to old age. Various organs in the body are gradually aging and their functions are gradually degenerating, so some adjustments must be made in food. 1. The recipe combination should be: vegetables > pasture > rabbit food. In rabbits during this period, the function of the digestive organs is gradually weakening, and the teeth are beginning to age. Therefore, the content of indigestible crude fiber should be reduced to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Vegetables are easy to chew and digest. Rich in vitamins. 2. The combination of forage types should be: Graminous forage (Timothy, etc.) + Leguminous forage (Alfalfa, etc.). The supply should be unlimited supply of Graminous forage and small amount of Leguminous forage, just grab a handful every day. 3. The daily supply quantity of each type of recipe: grasses (eat as you like) + leguminous grasses (grab 1 handful at night) + rabbit food (80 grams per day, fed 2-3 times a day) + vegetables (2 heads of lettuce or 1 carrot per day) + drinking water (250-500 ml). 4. The ratio of food supply between day and night: 30%-40% during the day and 60%-70% at night.

Rabbit Breeding Technology

Young rabbits are called young rabbits from weaning to ninety days of age. Physiological characteristics of young rabbits: Since they have just been weaned, environmental conditions have changed, which has a great impact on young rabbits. However, young rabbits grow quickly, have high requirements for feed, and have poor disease resistance.

Practice has proved that the development and quality improvement of rabbit groups largely depend on the level of feeding and management of young rabbits. In terms of management methods, they can be raised in large cages (specification: 120×60×50 (cm)) or free-range. The feed should be easy to digest, eat small and frequent meals, 5 to 6 times a day. The more typical feed is bran plus soy flour mixed with rice and growth hormone. If needed, an appropriate amount of high-energy concentrate such as whole milk powder or glucose can be added. Young rabbits are in a period of vigorous growth and development and eat a lot, so food injuries and gastroenteritis must be avoided. The amount of feed should increase with age, and do not suddenly reduce or change the feed. In winter and spring, animal feeds such as light fish meal or silkworm chrysalis containing 5% of the feed content should be fed. Likewise, increase exercise and see more sunlight to boost metabolism. It is beneficial to bone growth and development and avoids dysplasia and paralysis caused by lack of calcium and phosphorus. In addition, rabbits should be trained to drink water from an early age to promote nutrient absorption in the body and facilitate growth and development. Young rabbits between 2 and 3 months of age undergo an inconspicuous moulting process. At this time, it is difficult for long hair to remain. If there is still long hair, the entire body should be trimmed to avoid the occurrence of hair balls. And it can reduce the chance of long hair absorbing protein. In order to prevent coccidiosis infection, medicated feed for rabbits must be prepared, and the ears of young rabbits for breeding must be numbered and filled in when weaning. To avoid confusion between raised and free-range breeding, an identification can be made based on the quality of growth and development.

Male rabbits have a greater impact on the rabbit population than female rabbits. The quality of breeding male rabbits will directly affect reproduction, as well as the survival rate and quality of offspring rabbits. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen the management of male breeding rabbits. The purpose of managing male breeding rabbits should be to have a pure breed, good development, strong body shape, strong sexual desire, high quality semen and should not be too fat or too thin.

Male rabbits after 3 months old should be raised separately. Rabbits of the opposite sex should be matched. Same-sex bites should be kept in one rabbit in one cage. The cage space should be 70 width × 60 depth × 50 height (cm). To take into account the activities of long-haired animals, the light in the cage should be slightly dark, but dry.

It is advisable for adult male rabbits to be bred every other day. When individual breeding tasks are heavy, they can be bred 2 to 3 times a day, but they can only be bred for one or two days. For first-time mating adult male rabbits (7 to 8 months old), some have only semen but no sperm due to incomplete sperm formation. Some sperm motility is still very poor. Therefore, if possible, a microscope can be used to check the semen quality. For first-time male rabbits, you should pay attention to their adaptability and growth status, and master reasonable breeding, usually 2 to 3 times a week. After one month, you can proceed according to the mating method of adult male rabbits. Artificial insemination workers must record in detail the semen of male rabbits and the quality and quantity of sperm. Do check the conception rate of the female rabbit. Male rabbits during the mating period should not have long hair regardless of the season. In summer and during the temperature-adjusting season, pruning should be frequent and pruned until light.

Hair can promote blood circulation and increase appetite. It is necessary to develop the habit of feeding water. The body metabolism of water rabbits is poor, and the decomposition of sugar and starch in the body is hindered. Male rabbits for breeding need more water. Male rabbits for mating should be satisfied with green and concentrated feed, and should be provided with direct crude fiber feed. Feed with high vitamin E content is also very important. Vitamin E is called "fertility powder". If there is a lack of vitamin E, sperm formation in male rabbits will be stagnant, and the conception rate and fertility of female rabbits will be reduced. The management of male rabbits directly affects the breeding years and results. Generally, male rabbits are used for 2 to 3 years, and then the sperm motility decreases, the conception rate decreases, and the survival rate of the rabbits decreases.

. When introducing long-haired rabbits, you should choose bred rabbits, healthy rabbits, well-bred rabbits and high-yield rabbits. Do not buy old rabbits, sick rabbits, hybrid rabbits and low-yield rabbits. Young rabbits aged 3-4 months are best for short fortunes. For long-term fortune, adult rabbits aged 8-10 months are better. Do not introduce 1-2 month old rabbits that have just been weaned.
