Soybeans are a nutritious food, and for rural postpartum female rabbits, proper feeding of soybeans can help their bodies recover and produce milk. The following is an article on how to feed soybeans to female rabbits after giving birth in rural areas.
First, the choice of soybeans
First of all, choose fresh soybeans and avoid expired or spoiled soybeans. At the same time, it is important to ensure that soybeans are free of pesticide residues and other contaminants.
Second, the processing of soybeans
Wash the soybeans and soak them in water until they are tender. Next, the soybeans are cooked or steamed to make them easy to digest. Be careful not to cook too badly, so as not to affect the taste and nutritional value.
3. Feeding time and amount
Postpartum female rabbits can be fed cooked soybeans in moderation within a week after giving birth. The daily feeding amount should not be too much, and it is generally controlled at about 50 grams per female rabbit per day. The amount of food can be gradually increased over time.
Fourth, feeding methods
Mix the cooked soybeans with rabbit food, stir well and feed the female rabbit. Soybeans can also be chopped and mixed with rabbit food to allow the female rabbit to eat ad libitum. Pay attention to the appetite and defecation of the female rabbit, and if any abnormalities are found, the feeding amount and method can be adjusted appropriately.
5. Precautions
1.Make sure that the soybeans are cooked and cooled to a suitable temperature before feeding to avoid scalding the female rabbit.
2.Do not feed your female rabbit too many soybeans to avoid indigestion or diarrhea.
3.Regularly clean and disinfect rabbit houses and drinking water equipment to maintain environmental hygiene and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
4.Regularly observe the physiological indicators such as appetite, defecation and body temperature of female rabbits, and deal with problems in time.
In short, rural postpartum female rabbits need to pay attention to choosing fresh, pollution-free soybeans when feeding soybeans, and mix them with rabbit food after processing and cooking. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount and method of feeding, maintaining environmental hygiene and observing the physiological condition of female rabbits. This can help the female rabbit to recover and produce milk, and improve the survival rate of the young rabbit.
