What feed does the rabbit eat?

The rabbits we are familiar with are herbivorous vertebrates of mammals. Generally, there are three kinds of food for rabbits in life: concentrated feed, roughage and juicy feed. Concentrated feed is generally more than professional rabbit food; Roughage is grass food; Juicy feed is the vegetables, fruits and some rhizomes that we are familiar with every day.

What does the baby rabbit eat?

First of all, rabbits can eat alfalfa grass and Timothy grass. Alfalfa grass is a leguminous plant, and its nutrition is good among all grasses (but its crude fiber content is low), which just meets the growth and development needs of young rabbits. Alfalfa grass tastes very good and rabbits like it very much. Timothy pasture is a gramineous pasture. Timothy pasture has a high content of crude fiber, and the contents of calcium and protein are lower than alfalfa pasture. In fact, many materials have introduced that alfalfa is the staple food of young rabbits, but I suggest adding Timothy forage to prevent it from being picky when it grows up.

In fact, in addition to the above two kinds of hay, rabbit food is also one of the good foods for feeding rabbits. Rabbit food can provide balanced nutrition and calories for rabbits. Because we can't provide rabbits with very diverse foods, it is easy to cause malnutrition or imbalance, which is the main function of rabbit food.

Rabbits are vegetarian and like to eat grass. Generally, rabbits raised at home should pay attention to the provision of food, because young rabbits are not full, and vegetables are not recommended for young rabbits, which is easy to get enteritis and can only be properly provided in adulthood. Rabbits are divided into young rabbits and adult rabbits. Young rabbits are1~ 6 months old rabbits, and adult rabbits are more than 6 months old rabbits. They are all fed twice a day in the morning and evening. If it is necessary to change the brand of food, it should not be changed directly, which will lead to the rabbit's inadaptability and discomfort.

Second, how to raise rabbits?

First of all, rabbits have their own fixed life characteristics, which lie in the daytime and move at night. It is lying in the cage during the day, jumping and running at night, and constantly eating and drinking water. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure diet and water feeding, and feed it once in the evening, and feed it regularly and quantitatively.

Secondly, rabbits also get depression, so they must be released to play 1-2 hours every day. If you can't be with the rabbit often, you might as well give him some toys to ease his mood and kill boring time.

Third, I like dry and hate wet. Rabbits are small animals that like to be dry and afraid of being wet. Keep it in a dry place and clean it frequently. When the weather is fine, you might as well take it to the balcony to bask in the sun, not at noon, you will get heatstroke. Don't spend too long in the sun. A little shade will strengthen their bones.

The fourth is timid and easy to be surprised.

Fifth, it is cold-resistant and afraid of heat.

Rabbits have some cold tolerance, but they are afraid of heat. Be sure to feed more water in summer and put it in a ventilated place. If it is an unweaned rabbit, you can slowly introduce some alfalfa grass, grass and rabbit food after 20 days if you drink enough breast milk. If suckling rabbits are not fed with mother's milk, they can buy kittens to substitute milk and feed them once a day, and appropriate amount of lactic acid bacteria can be added. Remember not to overfeed, which will lead to bloating and death.

Also note that rabbits are prone to get sick. Don't give them medicine casually. Many rabbits are allergic to antibiotics, and some cats and dogs can't be used indiscriminately. There is also to maintain hygiene. If it is not particularly dirty, don't wash it. Generally, you can comb your hair.

Third, what should I pay attention to when raising rabbits?

1, breeding rabbit selection

In order to develop rabbit breeding well, it is the key point to choose improved varieties at the beginning of breeding. No matter which kind of rabbit is bred, it is necessary to introduce improved varieties frequently. In this way, population degradation can be avoided. A female rabbit can breed 30-40 rabbits a year. In order to breed better, the old breeding rabbits are generally eliminated in time every 3 to 4 years, and new varieties are selected as breeding rabbits. There are also breeding rabbits, so don't hybrid rabbits now. Although hybrid rabbits are strong, disease-resistant and fast-growing, they are not suitable for breeding rabbits. Their heredity is unstable and serious character separation may occur.

2. Feeding environment

Environment is an external factor that affects the growth, reproduction and production of rabbits. Too high or too low the temperature of the breeding environment will affect the growth and development of rabbits. The suitable growth temperature of rabbits is between 15-30 degrees, in which newly-born rabbits are weak and easy to be cultured in an environment of 30-32 degrees. When they reach the age of January, they can adapt to the temperature of 20-30 degrees, while adult rabbits and growing rabbits can adapt to/kl. The breeding environment should be clean and well ventilated. In addition, illumination is very important for the growth and reproduction of rabbits. Adequate illumination is beneficial to estrus and childbirth of female rabbits and the quality and quantity of sperm of male rabbits. Generally, it is necessary to maintain the illumination duration of 12- 15 hours per day. Rabbits are timid animals, and a little noise in the process of breeding will scare them, which will easily lead to miscarriage of female rabbits and collision and injury of male rabbits. Therefore, it is necessary to stay away from urban disturbances and near highway factories when breeding.

Step 3: Feed

Many farmers often choose intensive feeding and add a lot of additives to the feed for the rapid growth of rabbits, reducing the growth cycle and putting rabbits into the market faster. This is a great burden on the rabbit's stomach and affects the rabbit's metabolism. Feed should be given priority to, supplemented by herbivores. Don't feed rabbits with one kind of feed to the end. In order to save time and effort, some farmers only feed them with one kind of feed from beginning to end, so that rabbits grow slowly and feed them in a balanced way. In addition, when feeding herbivores, we should pay attention to the fact that feed and forage with water, deterioration, pollution and odor, pesticide, water washing and freezing can not be fed.

Four, the basic knowledge of novice rabbit.

First, after the rabbit gets home, don't feed coccidiosis medicine casually. Ok, go to the hospital for a routine check-up. If there is coccidia, you need to take medicine. If there is no coccidia, you don't need to take medicine.

Second, rabbits must be fed scientifically, and there is no limit to raising grass and cooling water every day. Rabbit food for young rabbits is 3% to 5% of rabbit's body weight, and rabbit food for adult rabbits is 1% to 3% of rabbit's body weight. Rabbit food plays a role in balancing nutrition. Eat little, but eat well. Therefore, we reject the three no rabbit foods and recommend bunny, Aibo and boogers.

There is no limit to alfalfa for young rabbits under three months. After four months, the alfalfa can be gradually reduced, and alfalfa will be stopped and rabbit food will be reduced in eight months. Raising grass is the main grass. Fruit grass, green oats, wheat grass and barley grass are used as snack grass. Rabbits can't be hungry without eating grass. The physiological structure of rabbits is very low. If they don't eat or drink for 4-8 hours, they will damage their liver and kidneys and even cause sexual damage.

Adult rabbits over four or six months old can eat some vegetables (oily cabbage, Shanghai green) and a small amount of fruit according to their physical condition every day. While feeding vegetables, rabbit food should be reduced. All sweets are forbidden, and tooth decay is a terminal disease. Excessive sweets are a great harm to rabbits' teeth. Sweets can cause tooth decay in rabbits. Tooth decay will crack and food debris will block it, which will become a hotbed of bacteria. Bacteria will enter the root and gum with the cracked teeth, causing infection and inflammation of the root or gum. The damaged root will lead to abnormal growth of the crown and malocclusion, which will also further lead to abnormal long root. This is a vicious circle. The inflammation of the root of the tooth has been going on for a long time, and then facial pustules are produced. Don't feed any rice, steamed bread, bread, biscuits or anything that people eat. Of course, if you are not sure about the continuous learning, integration and flexible application of rabbit breeding knowledge, you can ask.

Necessary items: rabbit cage (more than 80 cm) foot pad, ball kettle, toilet (do not choose triangular toilet), food box, grass rack.

Sixth, the standing nutritional products are recommended to be prepared to help you strengthen the cream, lactic acid bacteria, and hair cream (continuous feeding for one week, one centimeter a day). Bunny balance element, Marca yellow water and green water. Bunny grass powder or Aibo grass powder can be selectively reserved.

7. In areas where medical resources are not perfect, it is useless to treat diseases only by praying. Usually consult more, study more and communicate more. There are many senior rabbit mothers in the post bar or rabbit group who basically have questions and answers. As long as you really love rabbits, everyone is willing to help you!

Eight, young rabbits and sick rabbits can't take a bath, and adult rabbits over six months should be fully prepared even if they want to take a bath, and try not to take a bath. Bathing is prone to stress reaction and death, and it is easy to get skin diseases. Ear water is easy to cause otitis media.

Nine, rabbits are solitary animals, fighting with the same sex and breeding with the opposite sex. If you have two or more rabbits, you must separate them. Never say that your rabbit doesn't fight. Maybe one minute it's peaceful, and the next minute it's bitten all over. What's more, it's hard to tell the difference between male and female rabbits. If you don't want a litter of rabbits to suddenly appear at home one day, you can separate them or be sterilized.

Ten, about sterilization, it depends on how people think, any operation is risky. Sterilization is not only to prevent reproduction, but also to make your rabbit healthier. Sterilization can prevent male rabbits from peeing during estrus and prevent some diseases. Female rabbits are easy to get uterine diseases when they are about two years old. Sterilization can prevent female rabbits from getting uterine diseases. The period of sterilization is 8 months for rabbits, and they recover well when they are young. It is recommended not to exceed two years old.

Eleven, refuse to breed, even if you really love every rabbit, even if your economic conditions permit, it is more important that you have to spend so much thought to raise every rabbit. Otherwise, you have to give it away. If you give it away, it's okay to meet a good master, but if you don't meet a good master, your fate will be bumpy. You all want your rabbit to have a good ending! So be cautious and cautious!

12. Rabbits need outdoor air. It's impossible to keep them in cages all day. They must be given a space to run. It is recommended to keep out the wind for one to four hours every day, and prepare water and grass for a long time. The outdoor place must be paved, and rabbits can't run directly on the hard floor, otherwise the joints will easily go wrong in the future.

Thirteen, scientific feeding! Never leave! If you don't know how to take care of a rabbit, please treat it like your own child. I hope that the rabbit parents will continue to learn the knowledge of raising rabbits together!

5. What is the prospect of raising rabbits?

Regarding the prospect of breeding rabbits, Xiaobian will analyze it from the following aspects:

1, from the output point of view: experiments show that the conversion rate of rabbit meat is five times that of beef with the same amount of feed. In addition, rabbits have multiple births and high yield, short feeding cycle and high meat yield, so they are relatively efficient.

2. From the perspective of income, the income of rabbit breeding is rich in sources, and the sales of rabbit meat and rabbit hair are gratifying and the income is diversified. On the other hand, the feed for rabbit breeding is mainly grass, which is quite low in cost, but rich in profit, which can be recovered in about 1 year, and its gold absorption strength is excellent.

3. From the market: Nowadays, people's eating habits are changing quietly. Rabbit meat, with its high nutritional value and health care function, has attracted more people's attention. People who are keen on eating rabbit meat are in short supply in many cities.
