Effective Prevention Strategies for Rabbit Infectional

Preventing Rabbit Infectional Rhinitis

1. Enhance Living Conditions for Rabbits. As rabbit owners, it is crucial to maintain a clean, wellventilated, and dry environment in the rabbitry. During winter, when temperatures drop, avoid using plastic film for insulation. Instead, opt for two layers of straw curtains to seal the hutch. This not only keeps the hutch warm but also helps expel moisture and ammonia, significantly reducing the incidence of disease among rabbits.

2. Isolate the Source of Infection. Be cautious when introducing new rabbits into your flock. Always source from reputable breeders and thoroughly inspect the breeding facility. Upon arrival, quarantine the new rabbits for a month before introducing them to the group. If any sick rabbits are detected during this period, isolate and treat them promptly or cull them to prevent the spread of disease.

3. Strengthen Immunization Measures. Rabbits are particularly susceptible to illnesses during seasonal changes or extreme weather fluctuations, often leading to respiratory diseases. During these times, owners should reinforce disease prevention efforts. Adding a moderate amount of "Rabbit Health Enhancer" to the feed can help prevent respiratory diseases.

4. Regularly Administer "Multivitamin Peptide." Owners can mix this supplement with feed or water for the entire flock once a month, feeding it for 57 days consecutively. This can effectively boost the rabbits' immunity and resistance to infections, preventing outbreaks of rabbit influenza and other viral diseases.

5. Maintain Cleanliness in the Hutch. Regularly clean up urine and feces, and disinfect the hutch periodically to keep the environment hygienic and clean.

These preventive measures are highly beneficial in enhancing rabbits' resistance and effectively preventing common respiratory diseases.

What if rabbits accidentally contract infectional rhinitis? Here are some specific treatment methods:

1) For mild cases of infectional rhinitis, "Rabbit Health Enhancer" can be used to treat the affected rabbits. Mix 100g of the medication with 400kg of water or 200kg of feed. This helps rapidly boost the rabbits' immunity and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, use "Iodophor Disinfectant" to sanitize the hutch.

2) If the rabbits exhibit pronounced rhinitis symptoms, "Rhinitis Relief" can be administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The dosage is 0.15ml per kilogram of body weight. A second injection should be given 7 days after the first to prevent recurrence.

3) Regularly Vaccinate Rabbits. Severe cases of infectional rhinitis can lead to pneumonia, resulting in the death of affected rabbits. Therefore, it is advisable for owners to prioritize vaccination with relevant vaccines, such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica vaccines, as both bacteria can cause acute pneumonia and septicemia in rabbits.
