Color long-haired rabbit feeding management technology

Colored long-haired rabbit is a rare and economic animal imported from the United States. After more than ten years of development, it has now entered the stage of scale development. Its rabbit velvet is brown, yellow, beige, black, cyan violet and silver grey. Adult rabbits weigh 3-4 kilograms, 1 female rabbit litter size 6-9, and about 30 calves per year. Rabbits can produce hair at 6 months of age. Each rabbit can produce more than 0.6 kilograms of hair per year. The economic benefits are two to three times higher than ordinary long-haired rabbits. Its feeding and management techniques are as follows: (1) Building rabbit houses. The rabbit house should be built in a high-pitched, well-drained, south-facing, sunny, ventilated and secluded area. The rabbit cage should adopt a semi-open type cage with a width of 70 cm, a depth of 80 cm and a height of 50 cm. The cage is suitable for bamboo and the material for the cage should be smooth and soft. (2) Choose a variety. The choice of breeding rabbits is very important. It is imperative to introduce purebreds into the regular breeding grounds. Rabbits require good growth, strong physique, fine hairiness, uniform color, and high wool yield. They have large individuals, thick necks, wide thoracodorsal borders, long waists, wide arms, divine eyes, and large ear shells. In addition, the selection of male rabbits must also have a normal testicular development and strong mating ability. Once the female rabbits immediately climb across the mating; selection of female rabbits requires a back file width, sexual docile, more calving, developed breasts, teats in Less than 8 or more and evenly arranged, thick and soft, and more milk. Kinds of rabbits should not be too fat too thin, with moderate to upper jaw as degree. (3) feeding in sections. 1. For pregnant female rabbits, provide sufficient full-priced compound feed to ensure that the fetus develops nutrients. In the diet formula, it is necessary not only to supply sufficient nutrients such as protein, minerals and vitamins, but also to pay special attention to the crude fiber content should not be less than 15% of the diet. Three days before the onset of production, the amount of formulated feed should be appropriately reduced and more feed should be given. After the production box is sterilized, the female rabbit is placed in a cage, and the inside of the box is laid to clean the soft grass and weaken the light in the cage. Female rabbits often give birth at night and in the wee hours. It takes about 30-45 days from the time of childbirth to weaning of the pups. It is necessary to provide enough nutrients to ensure the secretion of milk and to avoid indigestion and mastitis. . 2. For young puppies born within 20 days of birth, they basically rely on breast milk to maintain their lives. Their adaptability is very weak. Care must be taken to ensure that they eat enough milk every day. Lack of breast-feeding rabbits should be carried with the nanny rabbit with or without artificial feeding. Before the rabbit opens his eyes, he must strengthen the insulation and cleaning measures inside the box to prevent rat and animal damage. After opening the eyes, the puppies should timely feed some easily digestible, nutritious feeds and appropriate amount of green feed, and gradually increase the amount of feed. 3. For young rabbits with strong digestive power and rapid growth, the supply of green coarse material should be the main method, supplemented by concentrated material, and the degree of sensation should be maintained on the medium level. The use of rabbits for overweight or overweight affects the use value. When the pups reach a certain weight, the best ones can be selected for the remaining species, and the rest can be used for breeding wool production. China Agricultural Network Editor
