In rabbit breeding, female rabbit pregnancy is a crucial matter for farmers, and there are various diagnostic methods. Fetal diagnosis is the most common simple and accurate technology at the moment. Of course, this requires farmers to be skilled in operation and be able to do it with ease, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. It is a fetal protection technology that can effectively increase the reproductive capacity of rabbits and increase the benefits of raising rabbits.

Farmers need to pay attention to the time control of fetal touching

Farmers should check the fetus 8 to 10 days after the female rabbit is bred, and arrange the inspection during the fasting time of the female rabbit. Beginners who lack understanding of the embryo and fetal position can do it 12 to 14 days after the female rabbit is bred to facilitate accurate identification.

Farmers need to be proficient in the technical operation of feeling the fetus

When the farmer feels the fetus, he first places the female rabbit to be checked on a flat plate or the ground, or in a rabbit cage. Carry out, with the rabbit's head facing the examiner, hold the female rabbit's ears and neck skin with one hand to secure it, and use the other hand to make the thumb and the other four fingers form an "eight" shape, with the palm of the hand facing upward, and extend to the female rabbit's abdomen. down, gently hold up the posterior abdomen to move the abdominal contents forward, slowly bring the five fingers together, and feel the shape, size and texture of the abdominal contents. If the abdomen feels soft like cotton, it means there is no pregnancy; if it feels like there is Peanut-sized meat balls are placed next to each other. The balls are sliding and elastic. This is the fetus, indicating that the female rabbit is pregnant. During the inspection process, individual female rabbits often have a small number of gestations, and the embryos need to be repeatedly touched from front to back during the inspection to detect the embryos.

Farmers should pay attention to some precautions when touching tires

The first is early fetal testing. Beginners tend to confuse 8-10-day-old embryos with fecal balls. Fecal balls are mostly round, with a smooth surface, no elasticity, a large distribution area in the abdominal cavity, and no A certain position and connected with the rectal fecal ball. The position of the embryo is relatively fixed, so you can gently pinch it with your hands. The surface is smooth and elastic, and it slides easily when touched.

Secondly, farmers should be gentle when touching the fetus, and avoid pinching or pinching with your fingers. Count the embryos to avoid miscarriage or stillbirth. A fetal rabbit as big as an egg yolk can be felt on the 15th day. On the 24th day, the female rabbit's breasts begin to swell and the belly is enlarged and sagging. On the 24th day, the female rabbit begins to give birth to cubs.
