Rabbit Farming Skills

Raising rabbits is very easy in our opinion. Many people should have raised them when they were young, but this is only a small batch of breeding. Many situations will not be encountered, but if you want to breed in large quantities, if you breed If the household does not have certain experience, it is difficult to raise the rabbit well. If the novice breeder wants to raise the rabbit well, he must find an experienced old breeder to take it with him, and the time should not be too short, it is very difficult in a short time. Getting started is a seemingly simple thing, but it is actually very difficult to get started if you explore by yourself. The seemingly ordinary process of raising rabbits contains a lot of technical things. Let’s talk about the six essential skills of raising rabbits, hoping to help the majority of rabbit raising friends.

1. How to catch rabbits Many people think that catching rabbits is very simple and has no technical content. Don’t they all start from childhood? When I was young, I couldn’t see anything. Generally, in our childhood memory, it is enough to grab the rabbit and hold the ears directly. In fact, farmers will not directly grab the ears. Doing so will cause great harm to the rabbit. First of all, There are many nervous systems on rabbit ears. If you scratch the ears, it will have a great impact on the rabbit’s hearing senses. Next, after the nerves and cartilage of the rabbit’s ears are seriously damaged, the phenomenon of sagging will occur, which greatly affects the problem of heat dissipation. The fur of rabbits is very thick, and rabbits do not have sweat glands, so ears are an important radiator for rabbits, and it is easy to die of heat stroke in summer because of the inability to dissipate heat. Finally, some breeds with larger ears are difficult to adapt to, and sometimes rabbits will struggle randomly, which makes them uncomfortable. Therefore, catching rabbits is also very knowledgeable. Generally, farmers grab the neck and hold the rabbit’s butt with the other hand. In addition, in the process of raising rabbits every day, farmers know that there is a little trick, that is, the belly of the rabbit. It will put the rabbit in a simple hypnotic state, so if some rabbits are disobedient, the farmer can directly turn it over and it will become much quieter.

2. Rabbit estrus is a very magical thing when a rabbit is in estrus. When a female rabbit is in estrus, she can mate at any time for conception. Although this is said, it is still necessary to wait until the female rabbit is in estrus. The probability of successful breeding is the highest. Generally, the number of breeders is about a few hundred, and most of them are female rabbits. From the feeding situation of the female rabbit, it can be seen that if the food intake suddenly decreases, it is very likely to be in estrus. Secondly, the female rabbit will stomp and restless when returning to the house when it is in estrus. Breeding can also be carried out directly in the next day. This is the card time point, but it cannot be continuously carried out in this way, which will affect the reproductive function of the female rabbit in the future. There are many kinds of estrus performances of female rabbits. Farmers can make judgments. It should be determined according to the actual situation, not just according to those people on the Internet.

3. Breeding problems Due to the large number of breeding female rabbits, many farmers directly put the male rabbits in the female rabbit’s cage for a period of time in order to save their worries. The farmers do not know what the specific breeding time is. At that time, it is precisely the most taboo for large-scale rabbit raising. The general operation method of farmers is to wait until the female rabbit is in heat before placing the male rabbit in the female rabbit’s cage, or vice versa, wait until the breeding is successful and then carry out separate breeding. In addition, there will definitely be female rabbits that do not cooperate with mating in the process of raising rabbits. The way some farmers deal with them is very extreme. I have seen the most serious one is that a farmer tied his tail with a rope and fixed it to the cage. On the top, a rope is used to fix the neck, and then release it after the breeding is successful. In fact, this operation is not only unreasonable, but also the probability of success is not very high. Generally, when this happens, the farmer needs to assist and breed. The household grasps the neck of the female rabbit with one hand to fix it, then stretches the other hand to the abdomen of the rabbit and lifts it gently, and then separates it with the middle finger and the index finger to facilitate the breeding work.

Fourth, the problem of fetal touch After breeding, farmers must determine whether the breeding is successful. The best way to identify is to touch the tire. This is also not understood by many farmers. Many farmers only have theoretical knowledge, but no practical experience. It takes a long time for farmers to master this skill, and only through practice can they accurately improve their tire-touching skills. Generally, experienced farmers can confirm whether the conception is successful after ten days of breeding. Generally, it takes about half a month after conception to confirm whether the pregnancy is pregnant, and it is very easy to confirm at this time. Generally, when the breeder touches the fetus and confirms that the mother rabbit is pregnant, they let go of their hands and do not squeeze too hard. If they can feel the cubs, they will release them as soon as possible. Do not count the number of cubs to avoid miscarriage and stillbirth. Farmers sometimes touch dung balls as rabbits, so farmers must learn more about breeding experience.

5. The problem of injections Any animal breeding requires disease prevention, and the same is true for rabbits. Many novices do not know how to prevent and treat diseases. Compared with other animals, the injections of breeding rabbits are relatively simple, but there are still Some skills exist, and everyone just needs to practice it a few times, and it is easy to master. Generally, the injections given to rabbits are subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection or intravenous injection. The most commonly used injection is subcutaneous injection, and it is usually subcutaneous injection on the neck, because only the fur on the neck is very thin compared to other parts. When the farmer injects the rabbit, he only needs to gently pull up the skin of the neck of the rabbit and slant the needle into the skin. Intramuscular injections are generally performed in places with more buttock muscles, but do not go too deep to avoid nerve damage. Intravenous injection generally chooses ear intravenous injection. Generally, farmers can press the terminal blood vessel of the ear and pierce the needle into the bulging blood vessel in many places, and then push the drug directly into it. There is also the problem of disease prevention of rabbits, most of which need to be injected for epidemic prevention, especially the rabbit plague vaccine, which is something that every farmer must do. The impact of rabbit plague is relatively large, and the vaccine is generally injected. Yes, after the first immunization, a booster immunization is required after one and a half months, and an injection is required after half a year. Generally, commercial rabbits will be released in less than half a year.
