The basic method for keeping rabbits in cages

In order to further raise the level of raising rabbits and meet the vigorous demand of domestic and foreign markets for rabbit meat and rabbit hair, the traditional breeding methods relying on keeping livestock and extensive management in the country can no longer meet the needs of the market; The only way for the modern, industrial, and intensive rabbit breeding industry. However, now rabbits in agricultural areas are often exposed to rabbits due to excessive breeding density, unpredictable sanitary environment, moisture in cages, stale air, microbial and bacterial growth, and small building area of ​​cages. The limitations of the exercise have not been fully met, which has led to a significant increase in the incidence of rabbits and a drop in economic benefits. Based on the investigation and practical experience, the author concluded that raising a rabbit in a cage requires basic requirements in the following four aspects in order to satisfy the rabbit's biological characteristics and behavioral needs to the greatest extent possible, to exert its production potential, and to obtain better economic benefits.

1 Make sure the rabbit feels comfortable in the cage

The rabbit house is the main site for rabbits to eat, rest, and exercise. It provides rabbits with a free and appropriate environment, including sheltered areas, and reduces adverse effects caused by the climate.

1.1 Construction Conditions

There is no industrial "three wastes" within 200m around the rabbit farm and upstream of the water source, and there are no pollution sources such as livestock product wastes, hospital sewage and wastes, urban garbage, and domestic sewage that pose a threat to the environment. At the same time, the rabbit house should be built in a place with high ground, dry ground, low groundwater level, good drainage performance, solid soil, sunny, windy, air circulation, and away from residential areas and traffic arteries; avoid low-lying land and sewage land. , Hill flood, winter tuyere and epidemic areas and other places.

1.2 Making rabbit cages

The side walls, rear wall, and soil loading plate of the rabbit cage are made of prefabricated cement boards. The cage width is 76cm, length is 65cm, height is 46cm, the cage bottom plate is made of bamboo plate, the width of the plate is 2.5~3cm, the plate gap is 2cm, and the spacing between the excrement plate and the cage bottom plate is 14~18cm and is 15 Tilt, and forward 3 ~ 5cm, rearward extension of 8 ~ 10cm; the back wall to leave a small window, easy to ventilate, light, the door with galvanized iron wire welding, and need to be equipped with straw and drinking fountains.

2 Ensure that rabbits behave normally and behave normally

The rabbit house ventilation, light transmission, heat preservation, moisture-proof performance, rabbit cage height is moderate, the area is suitable.

In order to ensure that the air in the rabbit house is fresh, skylights can be opened on the south and sun facing roofs, and at the same time, thieves can be avoided. The temperature in the rabbit house is generally kept at 5-28°C. The temperature of the adult rabbit house should be kept above 5°C, and the rabbit house should not be lower than 10°C. Relative humidity is 60% to 65%, noise is less than 85 decibels, and light is 20Lx. When ventilating, the wind speed in the house shall not exceed 0.5m/s, and it shall be 0.4m/s in summer and 0.2m/s in winter. Harmful gases in buildings should be limited to ammonia gas <30 cubic centimeters per cubic meter, carbon dioxide <3500 cubic centimeters per cubic meter. The young rabbits were reared in a single cage. The height of the rabbit cage was at least 0.5m and the area was 0.55 square meters, so as to ensure that the rabbit had enough space for movement.

3 Guarantee rabbits have no hunger

Let the rabbits freely drink water and feed to maintain good health and vitality.

3.1 Drinking Water Safety

Water is the main nutrient for biological life activities. Therefore, rabbit cages always have clean water. The sink is set on the cage door, and a duckbill type drinking device is installed to allow free drinking water. The right water temperature is good for rabbit health. In order to prevent water ice in the water tank in winter, it can be heated by electric heating wire; there should be some obstructing material above the sink in summer to prevent solar radiation, resulting in high water temperature. To constantly inspect the water quality and find that the lead, chromium and other heavy metals in the water and pathogenic microorganisms exceed the standards, they should immediately identify the sources of pollution and take timely measures.

3.2 Scientific Feeding

Choose feeds with good palatability, diversification, and digestibility to ensure that nutrition is comprehensive and balanced to meet the needs of nutrients such as rabbit growth, development, reproduction, and weight gain. The use of timing, quantitative, qualitative and definite feeding methods to form a conditioned reflex contributes to the digestion and absorption of feed. It is necessary to determine the amount of feed according to different physiological stages, so that it can be added and fed less, and it can be eaten without wastage; it is necessary to ensure diversification and high quality of feed; and to formulate the diet according to the feeding standards. When feeding, the first coarse after the first, after the grass material. In order to avoid crowding of rabbits, feeding the first meal must be less, faster, and more stable. When the previous meal is 20% left, one more feed is required. This will not only allow the rabbit to eat well and eat, but will also enable the frail rabbits to be looked after.

3.3 moderate stimulation of rabbits, increase their stress

The rabbits are petite, timid, scared and like quiet, but the sensitivity of rabbit stress factors living in a quiet environment is greatly enhanced. The breeder can talk to the rabbit at a proper time, tap the playing trough before feeding, play a piece of light music, and consciously break the quiet environment, thus increasing the rabbit's adaptability to the environment and reducing its sensitivity to stress factors. Be sure to avoid noise and rapid movement and rough movements in the rabbit house.

4 Ensure that the rabbit has no pain, no injury and disease

The disease is mainly controlled by prevention, supplemented by rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4.1 Ensure that the forage, feed, and drinking water are clean. Do not feed moldy fodder. Forage can not carry water, nor can it be fed with frost grass. It is best to drink deep or warm water in winter.

4.2 Ensure that the rabbit house is clean and dry, so that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Feces should be cleaned every day to keep the ventilation inside.

4.3 Disinfect rabbit houses, utensils, machinery and equipment, etc. with different disinfectants periodically, at least once a week to kill the pathogenic microorganisms in the environment, so as to completely cut off the transmission route and prevent the occurrence and spread of the disease.

4.4 According to the specific situation of each rabbit farm, determine the immunization target and develop the immunization program. Rabbits must be injected with rabbit plague, Wei's, and pseudotuberculosis vaccines; at the same time, they must be dewormed on a regular basis, and they must be dewormed twice a year. Generally, they use broad-spectrum insect repellent drugs such as fenazole.
