Feeding refueling rabbits grow strong
Fat oils added to feed can come from both plant and animal sources. Commonly used plant-based fats include soybean oil, soy lecithin, rapeseed oil, camellia oil, peanut oil, corn germ oil, and similar options. On the animal side, lard, butter, sheep fat, fish oil, chicken fat, and other animal-derived oils are also suitable.
When adding fat to pellet feed, it is essential that the oil is fresh, high-quality, and free from mold or rancidity. For animal fats, they should be processed into pure oil, with any residue removed, or if not fully extracted, the remaining material should be ground together with the oil before mixing into the feed. The typical oil content in the feed is around 2%, but this may increase to 3% during colder months and decrease to as low as 0.5% in hot summer conditions. Adding too much fat can lead to digestive issues such as diarrhea.
Incorporating fat into Rex rabbit pellets offers several benefits. First, it helps compensate for the natural lack of fat in standard diets, which is crucial for promoting healthy fur growth in Rex rabbits. Second, it aids in maintaining the performance of the pellet machine. Regular use of fat-containing feeds ensures that the die plates and holes remain smooth, allowing the machine to operate efficiently and last longer. This not only improves the quality of the final product but also reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
Additionally, properly balanced fat levels can enhance the energy density of the feed, supporting better weight gain and overall health in the animals. It also contributes to the texture and palatability of the pellets, making them more appealing to the rabbits. Therefore, careful consideration of fat types, quantities, and processing methods is essential for optimal results in rabbit feed production.
