Essential Measures for Rabbit Farming Success

I. Cultivating Healthy Breeding Rabbits

1. Enhance Dietary Management for Comprehensive Nutrition

Ensure a balanced diet for rabbits by supplementing their regular meals with highprotein concentrates, as well as feed rich in vitamins and minerals. Maintain a clean supply of fresh water and introduce night grasses to their diet.

2. Promote Regular Exercise for Breeding Rabbits

Since rabbits in cages have limited space for movement, it's essential to occasionally release them for exercise. Aim for at least two sessions per week, each lasting one hour, to keep them active and healthy.

3. Increase Appropriate Light Exposure

Healthy rabbits require adequate light. In cases of prolonged cloudy weather or insufficient natural light, provide artificial lighting to help weaker rabbits regain their strength.

II. Timely Autumn Breeding Activities

1. Select HighQuality Breeding Rabbits

Thoroughly assess the breeding rabbit population and choose rabbits with strong reproductive capabilities, high productivity, and good maternal instincts. Replace those that have become old, weak, or sick after multiple breeding cycles.

2. Rational Use of Breeding Bucks

Healthy adult bucks can be bred twice a day, with a day of rest after two consecutive breeding sessions. For firsttime breeders, spacing the breeding sessions every other day is recommended to avoid overexertion.

3. Update the Breeding Stock

After replacing lowerquality breeding rabbits, select robust, highproducing, and highly fertile rabbits to replenish the breeding stock, ensuring a strong and productive group.

III. Strengthening the Management of Female Rabbits

1. Preventing Abortions in Pregnant Does

Separate pregnant rabbits into individual cages to prevent injury and stress. Avoid unnecessary handling and moving of does. Before giving birth, prepare a sanitized nesting box within the cage to encourage the doe to build her nest.

2. Postpartum Care

Clean or replace soiled bedding promptly after delivery and provide the doe with a warm, salted rice porridge or bran water to replenish her energy.

IV. Implementing防疫 Measures

1. Preventing Common Rabbit Diseases

Strengthen the prevention of common diseases like rabbit hemorrhagic disease and pasteurellosis. Also, focus on controlling coccidiosis and mange. Regularly clean and disinfect the rabbitry and perform deworming.

2. Preventing Intestinal Diseases

Add 0.1% of fresh "Ercon" powder to the rabbits' feed daily for about a week to effectively prevent various gastrointestinal diseases, thereby reducing the incidence of intestinal disorders.
