1. Reasonable grouping.
Rabbits can be weaned about 20 days after birth, when they eat and drink normally. According to the strength of the group, about 30 per square meter. After weaning, it is appropriate to raise rabbits in a cage of 3 or 4.
2. Strengthen management.
Keep the cage dry, clean, quiet and comfortable. Observe the rabbit's appetite, feces and health status at any time, find abnormalities, and be timely**.
3. Timely replenishment.
Rabbits begin to grow teeth at about 15 days of age, saliva secretion increases, and they begin to learn to eat. In order to promote its digestive function, it can be fed some thick and small amounts of easily digestible feed, such as soaked soybeans, soaked vegetable leaves, etc. 17-day-old rabbits begin to nibble on their own pellets and should be fed regularly to promote their full development. The diet consists of 25% wheat, 20% bran, 10% legumes, 15% corn, 30% high-quality forage. In addition, each young rabbit is given 2 3 grams of premix with full nutrients per day, as well as an appropriate amount of trace elements and vitamins.
Fourth, timely castration.
For male rabbits that do not keep breeding, castration at 1 10 days after birth is convenient and does not cause death. Male rabbits can be mated with female rabbits after castration. If there is no breeding in estrus, it can be re-mated after a period of time. Female rabbits can be re-bred after a period of time and estrus. Female rabbits cut off part of their reproductive tract 8 to 10 days after birth, and can give birth to young rabbits without mating. Do not cut too much or too little, generally cut off the size of soybeans. Castration should be done on a sunny day, so that the wound heals easily and is less susceptible to bacterial infection. After castration, the rabbit is placed in a dry, clean cage and the wound is disinfected daily with iodine to prevent infection.
Fifth, do a good job in epidemic prevention and disease eradication.
Rabbit plague and pasteurellosis are the great enemies of the rabbit industry, and cleaning and vaccination should be done at ordinary times. Inject rabbit plague vaccine once at weaning; Add some antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and disease-preventing drugs to the feed, such as oxytetracycline, sulfonamides and other drugs; It can be prevented with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs; It can also be treated with Chinese herbs such as large green leaves, honeysuckle, etc. Newborn rabbits can be given antibiotics to remove germs caused by maternal toxicity or environmental contamination.
6. Strengthen the management of the summer season.
Due to the high temperature and high humidity in the summer season, it is extremely unfavorable to the growth of young rabbits, and it is easy to cause heat stroke and various diseases. To this end, the following should be done: first, reduce the feeding density to reduce the heat source; Second, the rabbit house should be ventilated and ventilated to make air convection; Third, the rabbit house should be kept dry and clean; Fourth, the content of vitamins and minerals should be increased in the feed; Fifth, provide sufficient and clean drinking water; Sixth, when it is hot at noon, it is necessary to prevent direct sunlight from the rabbit house; Seventh, it is necessary to frequently disinfect the rabbit house and repel mosquitoes and flies; Eighth, there should be a special person to take care of, observe the performance of rabbits diligently, once found sick rabbits should be timely ** and isolated; Nine is not to wean rabbits too early, the later weaning, the lower the incidence.
Seventh, timely slaughter.
According to the growth of the rabbit and the market demand to determine the slaughter time. If the breed is good, the market demand is large, and the management is proper, then the rabbit grows fast, the physique is robust, and the disease resistance is strong, and the general breeding can reach more than 2 kg after 2 months and should be arranged for slaughter.
