1, select excellent rabbit varieties.
When determining to breed rabbits, we should try to choose a rabbit variety with fast growth rate, but when choosing a rabbit variety, we also need to consider the local market factors and whether the environmental conditions in the area are suitable for breeding this rabbit variety. For example, although Iraqi rabbits grow fast, the meat yield of Iraqi rabbits weighing less than 4.5 kg is not high.
2. Group fattening
Feeding rabbits in groups is more beneficial to the growth and development of rabbits. Owners can feed rabbits in groups according to their physical strength, age and other factors, and feed young rabbits with similar weaning dates and small growth and development differences in groups. Generally, the feeding density of young rabbits should be controlled at 1~ 1.5 per square meter. When caging, it is most suitable to keep 3~4 rabbits in each cage. Overcrowded rabbit breeding environment will affect the normal development of rabbits.
3. Adopt scientific feeding management technology.
At present, there are many kinds of rabbit feed on the market, and the most suitable feed for rabbit fattening is mainly corn, oats, bean cake, potato, sweet potato, barley and so on. Owners must feed rabbits regularly and quantitatively. Generally, they can feed rabbits five times a day, pregnant rabbits and lactating female rabbits can feed them four times a day, and adult rabbits can feed them three times a day. They can be fed according to the above standards, but they also need to be properly adjusted according to the changes of weather seasons and other factors.
4. Drink plenty of water
Rabbits should drink a certain amount of water every day, and the owner should provide them with enough water after each feed. It is best for rabbits to get into the habit of drinking water after eating the feed. When the owner supplies drinking water, he should pay attention to providing warm water in winter and cold water in summer, and add a little salt to the drinking water of rabbits.
5. Manage the feeding environment.
Ensure that the feeding environment is hygienic and dry, clean the rabbit house and rabbit cage every day, and change the bedding frequently. When the temperature is high in summer, pay attention to open the doors and windows for ventilation, and you can cool down by sprinkling water, spraying or turning on the electric fan. In the same way, when the temperature is too low in winter, we should pay attention to the cold and warm measures for rabbits. When raising rabbits in cages, it should be noted that rabbits should be released for exercise for 2~3 times every morning and evening under suitable temperature conditions. Generally, it is appropriate to exercise for 1~2 hours, and the time for releasing rabbits from cages should not be too long.
6, do a good job in disease prevention
Pay attention to the work of killing rats, mosquitoes and flies in rabbit houses, prohibit feeding mildewed forage to rabbits, regularly vaccinate rabbits with other immune vaccines such as rabbit plague, strictly prevent infectious diseases, and strictly prevent coccidia and other parasitic infections inside and outside rabbits.
Dr. Claw Claw Summary: There is no special trick to raise rabbits and improve their growth rate. The key is to pay attention to the daily maintenance and management of rabbits and provide them with a good living environment.
