1. The rabbit house should not be connected to the chicken house, let alone be kept in the same house or cage.

The reason is that chicken feces produce a lot of toxic gases, which will cause slow growth and development of rabbits, meat production, and The quality of hair and skin is reduced. What is more serious is that many infectious and parasitic diseases can cause co-infection in chickens and rabbits, such as coccidiosis, pasteurellosis, salmonellosis, staphylococcus disease, etc. In addition, the differences in biological clocks and living habits of the two animals interfere with each other, and it is difficult for them to adapt to each other when they are moving and the other is still, so they should be raised in separate farms.

2. The roof of the rabbit house should not be built with asbestos tiles

Asbestos tiles are thin and have poor thermal insulation and heat protection properties. In particular, asbestos tiles contain a large amount of glass fibers, which can easily cause the fibers to fall off over time, easily causing rabbits to cough, asthma, and secondary diseases such as rhinitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, and keratitis.

3. Avoid scratching the ears and waist when catching rabbits

Catching the rabbit’s ears and waist will damage the rabbit’s internal organs. Therefore, you should first gently touch the rabbit's head with your hands, wait until the rabbit is quiet, then grab the skin on the back of the rabbit's neck and gently lift it: and use the other hand to hold up the rabbit's buttocks.

4. Avoid feeding silage alone

Silage that is too acidic will affect the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the cecum of rabbits, resulting in a reduction in the number of microorganisms secreting cellulase, causing digestion Bad, causing acidosis. If you want to feed silage, you can mix a small amount of silage with other feeds before feeding it. Never feed silage alone.

5. Avoid taking oral antibiotics

Oral antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and ditrizodin will kill a large number of beneficial microorganisms in the intestinal tract of rabbits and cause pathogens, especially salmonella It produces strong antibacterial properties and accelerates reproduction, causing rabbit disease and making treatment difficult. Therefore, rabbit farmers should note that when rabbits are sick and taking medication, it is best to use intramuscular or intravenous injection.

6. Avoid growing in a light-free environment

Some rabbit farmers do not pay attention to lighting the rabbits, resulting in female rabbits not being in estrus or being pregnant, and male rabbits not being able to breed or not being suitable. kind. Production practice has proved that light has a greater impact on rabbit reproduction. Breeding female rabbits have good effects if they are exposed to light for 14 to 16 hours a day. The light intensity of the rabbit house is 4W/square meter.

7. Avoid growing in an environment with too high or too low temperature and humidity

Temperature is important to the growth and development, fecundity, fattening performance and feed utilization of rabbits. Impact. The optimal temperature for rabbits to live in is: 10~25℃ for adult rabbits and 30~32℃ for newborn rabbits. Generally speaking, cooling measures should be taken when the temperature is higher than 33℃, and warming measures should be taken when the temperature is below 5℃. . Humidity is mostly affected by temperature. High temperature and high humidity, low temperature and low humidity are all detrimental to rabbits. Generally, the relative humidity in a rabbit house is preferably 60% to 65%, not less than 55%, and not higher than 70%.

8. Avoid focusing on treatment and neglect of prevention in rabbit disease prevention

Once a rabbit When infectious diseases occur, the mortality rate is often high. In rabbit breeding production, especially some small rabbit raising households, they do not pay attention to rabbit disease prevention and only treat the rabbits symptomatically when they are sick, which cannot achieve the ideal treatment effect. Therefore, we must establish the idea that prevention is more important than cure and do a good job in daily sanitation, disinfection and immunization.

9. Avoid buying breeding rabbits at will in the market

For rabbits purchased from the market, firstly, there is no guarantee of epidemic prevention; secondly, the rabbits in the market are not breeding rabbits but It is a commercial rabbit. Although it can breed and give birth, the offspring production performance is low. Therefore, it is recommended that rabbit farmers go to regular large-scale rabbit breeding farms to introduce rabbits.

10. Avoid introducing too many breeds

Generally speaking, when introducing meat rabbit breeds, do not introduce long-haired rabbits and rex rabbit breeds. It is better to raise one breed, and a maximum of 2 breeds. variety. The introduction of too many varieties affects the scale and efficiency of breeding, and is particularly prone to causing many inconveniences in feeding and management.
