Northern Region Rex rabbit winter breeding 5 recommendations

In the cold winter, especially in the northern regions, due to the lack of frozen green feed in the cold, combined with the shorter duration of sunshine, it often results in the increased mortality rate of infertile rabbits and young and young rabbits. Some farmers believe that it is inappropriate to breed at this time and enter the rest period. This will extend the time of production of Rex rabbits, increase the cost of breeding and reduce the benefits of breeding. The five-point proposal on the winter breeding of rabbits is proposed in order to help the farmers.

First, feed adjustment

In winter, due to the cold weather, more feed is needed to transform into body heat in order to withstand the cold. Therefore, the amount of feed in winter should be about 15% higher than usual. In addition, due to the scarce winter green feed, it is easy to cause the lack of trace elements and vitamins, which should be supplemented. In addition to the use of additives in feed, it is best to feed some juicy feeds such as carrots and Chinese cabbage to supplement vitamins and regulate gastrointestinal function.

Second, temperature control

In the vast majority of rural leisure rooms more. We can make full use of these idle rooms to achieve control of the small environment. Although Rex rabbits are densely covered with hair and are resistant to heat and cold, their ability to withstand cold is also limited. It is not as cold as possible. Rex rabbits consume the least amount of feed at a temperature of 15 to 25°C and have the least illness. However, it is difficult to control this condition in production. According to production experience, winter temperature can be as long as 5 °C or more. If it is lower than this temperature, there will be a decline in reproductive ability, such as not estrus, breeding difficulties and so on.

Third, the air quality

It is best to have heating in a breeding rabbit house. In the absence of heating, it is best to have a stove with a chimney. The chimney is very necessary, otherwise not only because of heating caused by a large number of dust in the rabbithouse caused by inflammation of the respiratory tract, but more importantly, the rabbit is extremely sensitive to gas (carbon monoxide), and little attention will cause poisoning. It is worth noting that in order to maintain the temperature of the rabbit house, the rabbit house is often closed inside the closed window, resulting in an increase in harmful gas and air humidity caused by poor ventilation in the rabbit house. In order to prevent the occurrence of such a situation, in addition to paying attention to proper ventilation, it is necessary to diligently clean up the excreta, refurbish the water supply pipeline, reduce the humidity in the rabbit house, and prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases.

IV. Production tank temperature

In order to ensure the temperature of the box, you can use a better insulation material. According to the author's experience, the counties in Baoding and Xingtai have more cashmere combing cashmere. The wool slag produced during processing has good insulation properties, and can be reused after cleaning and disinfecting. The effect is very good, but the cost is high.

Fifth, lighting control

Due to the shorter sunshine hours in winter, the estrus and breeding of the female rabbits were greatly affected. To artificially supplement light to 14 to 16 hours a day in order to achieve the best reproductive effects.
