1. Non-pathological hair loss

1. Before giving birth, the female rabbit plucks her own hair to make a nest for her cubs. Therefore, before the female rabbit is about to give birth, soft items such as straw should be laid out to reduce the loss of rabbit fur.

2. Some rabbits have a bad habit of pulling out (eating) their own hair, causing hair loss. It can be corrected by isolating and feeding more green materials.

3. From March to April in spring and from September to October in autumn, rabbits begin seasonal physiological molting.

4. Hair loss occurs due to friction between cages and feed boxes. Always check the cage regularly and pay attention to the smoothness of the cage to reduce unnecessary loss of rabbit hair.

5. Malnutrition hair loss. The feed contains insufficient fiber, and some rabbits may lose hair or eat hair due to lack of trace elements calcium, phosphorus, especially minerals such as magnesium, or lack of A and B vitamins and sulfur-containing amino acids. For hair removal that lacks certain elements, certain elements or nutrients should be added appropriately according to the feed ratio.

2. Pathological hair loss

1. Hair loss caused by parasites on the body surface. Scabies causes more hair loss in various parts of the body, with a higher incidence in winter and spring. It is common for rabbits to have inflammatory exudate in the affected area, which is light yellow in color. If infected by bacteria, purulent scab will appear, hair loss, hair loss, hair of varying lengths, and often itching. By scraping the skin scrapings from the junction of the affected area and the healthy area and placing it on a glass slide and adding a drop of kerosene, the mites can be seen under a low-power microscope. Ringworm can be eradicated with insecticide injection or one-time smearing. At the same time, do a good job in disinfecting rabbit houses and rabbit cages.

2. Hair loss caused by dermatomycosis. The disease can occur in rabbits of all ages throughout the year, but is most common in young rabbits. Affected rabbits have white dander with miliary-like protrusions around them, forming a disc-shaped hair loss. Scrape the skin scraps and place them on a glass slide, add a few drops of 10% caustic soda solution, and immediately heat it on an alcohol lamp for 2-3 minutes. Mycelium and spores can be seen under the microscope. After diagnosis, apply clotrimazole ointment or take griseofulvin orally for treatment. You can also mix equal parts iodine and Lysol, dilute it with half of cold water, and apply it twice a day for 3 days. If the remaining hair on the affected area is plucked before use, the effect will be better.

3. Hair loss caused by bacterial diseases. For example, necrotrophic bacteria can cause traumatic infectious diseases. When necrotizing inflammation occurs in different parts of a rabbit, hair loss occurs on the skin of the affected area. In addition, when meat rabbits are infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pasteurella septicarum, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus, they can cause skin inflammation and hair loss. For dermatitis caused by bacteria, 1%-3% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% potassium permanganate solution is generally used to wash the affected area, and systemic treatment is given with sensitive drugs. Hair loss is caused by dermatitis caused by bacteria. The affected area is large and the affected area rarely grows hair after recovery. If the affected area is rubbed together, certain curative effects can be achieved.

In view of the occurrence of hair loss, comprehensive judgment and analysis are required. You should consider it from a nutritional perspective first, and then look for the cause from a disease perspective. At present, many farmers blindly regard hair loss caused by any reason as scabies hair loss, and use insecticide or scabies to treat it once and for all, which is unlikely to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, analyzing the cause of hair loss is key.
