First, feeding.
Meat rabbits have strong reproductive ability, and can reproduce all year round, with a high reproductive success rate. However, the feeding characteristics of meat rabbits are different in each season, so the owner also needs to determine the most suitable feeding time for meat rabbits according to various actual conditions. The climate and temperature in spring meet the breeding conditions of meat rabbits, which is a good opportunity for meat rabbits to breed. During this period, male rabbits have strong sexual desire and high energy quality, while female rabbits are in estrus, so the conception rate of meat rabbits at this stage can generally be as high as 80% or more. Therefore, the owner must seize this opportunity in time and do a good job in raising meat rabbits in time. When the temperature is high in summer, the reproductive rate of meat rabbits will be relatively low during this period, because other effects such as high temperature in summer will greatly affect the sexual desire and estrus of rabbits. At the same time, in order to prevent the rabbit from heatstroke, the owner must do a good job of cooling the rabbit at high temperature. Autumn is also the season with high reproductive rate of meat rabbits, but it is also the season when meat rabbits suffer from fur. Therefore, the owner must pay attention to supplement adequate nutrition for meat rabbits in autumn, which will help rabbits recover as soon as possible and reduce the impact of molting on reproduction. The temperature is low in winter, and there is a lack of rabbit pasture. The owner should pay attention to keeping warm measures for rabbits in time to prevent colds, and feed concentrated feed, roughage and green feed reasonably to ensure the balanced nutrition of rabbits.
The above are the methods to improve the production performance of meat rabbits. Doing the above aspects well can effectively reduce the production cost of meat rabbits and improve economic benefits.
Second, feed.
The feeding trough, drinking trough and straw rack of meat rabbits should be set reasonably to prevent meat rabbits from trampling on forage at will, causing waste or affecting feed quality. For meat rabbits, attention should be paid to feeding them with concentrated feed, roughage and green feed. If it is a large-scale farming, full-price pellet feed should be used for feeding, and the feeding amount should be determined according to the size of meat rabbits. Meat rabbits generally eat more feed than wool rabbits and pet rabbits. After all, the most valuable place for meat rabbits is meat. Many owners will refer to some effective fattening methods for meat rabbits as long as the feeding method is reasonable!
Third, variety selection.
There are many kinds of meat rabbits. In order to improve the feeding efficiency of meat rabbits, breeders need to choose excellent meat rabbit varieties with good production performance, strong adaptability, strong disease resistance and fast weight gain, while Belgian rabbits, New Zealand rabbits and China rabbits are all excellent meat rabbit varieties. In order to obtain the best economic benefits, breeders may wish to choose the above meat rabbit varieties for breeding.
Dr. Claw Claw Tips: In order to obtain the best economic benefits in the process of feeding meat rabbits, in addition to selecting excellent meat rabbit breeds for feeding, the owner must also have reasonable and correct feeding management methods. There is little difference in the management methods of rabbits, so I won't elaborate here. Want to know more, you can share it with Dr. Paw Paw.
