In addition to rabbits and other acute infectious diseases, there are several common ailments that can severely affect rabbit health. These diseases are typically categorized into two main groups: digestive disorders and respiratory infections. Extensive rabbit farming experiences from both domestic and international sources have shown that the occurrence and severity of these two major disease categories vary significantly with the age of the rabbits.
Young rabbits, in particular, are more vulnerable due to their underdeveloped digestive systems and weaker immune responses. Their bodies are not yet capable of effectively adapting to environmental changes, such as sudden temperature fluctuations or overeating, which can easily lead to digestive issues. This may result in conditions like enteritis or even more severe gastrointestinal problems. Additionally, coccidiosis—often referred to as the "number one enemy" of rabbits—can cause significant damage, especially in young animals. Therefore, it's crucial to implement preventive measures against diseases such as yellow urine disease, E. coli infection, salmonellosis, intestinal coccidiosis, and "food injury" during this critical growth phase. These conditions tend to occur rapidly, progress quickly, and can be fatal if not managed properly.
Once rabbits reach the age of 70 days or older, they are typically considered commercial or adult rabbits. At this stage, the focus should shift toward preventing chronic and acute respiratory diseases, such as rhinitis and bronchopneumonia caused by bacteria like *Pasteurella multocida* or Borrelia species. These infections can have long-term effects on the rabbits' health and productivity, making early detection and prevention essential for maintaining a healthy herd.
