Essential Rabbit Farming防疫 Measures for Healthy Pets

Rabbit Disease Prevention and Control Measures

The rabbit disease prevention and control measures primarily encompass the following aspects:

Sanitation and health care measures

Regular vaccination against rabbit diseases

Adherence to rabbit health standards

Preparation of medication for rabbits

Proper administration of medication

Section 1: Sanitation and Health Care Measures

Focus on selective breeding of breeding rabbits, and consistently opt for selfbreeding methods.

Section 2: Basic Requirements for Rabbit Farm Sanitation and Hygiene

Scientifically plan the rabbit farm: The farm should logically divide the production area, isolation area, and living area for rabbits. The production area should be located in the upwind direction of the isolation area, with a dedicated disinfection pool for rabbits. The size of the rabbit houses should be appropriate, neither too large nor too small, and the isolation area should be kept away from the production area.

Newly introduced rabbits must be isolated for at least 15 days before being mixed with healthy rabbits in the pen.

Prohibit unsterilized entry of personnel and vehicles into the rabbit shed.

Keep the rabbit shed clean and hygienic on a daily basis. Pay attention to creating a good living environment for rabbits, maintaining reasonable temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting. Also, be mindful of rodent control and pest prevention.

Manage the farm's disease prevention and epidemic records, and establish responsible systems for disease reporting and control.

Section 3: Strict Implementation of Disinfection Measures

Disinfection is a crucial step in eliminating pathogens. The methods of disinfection in rabbit sheds generally include physical disinfection, chemical disinfection, and biothermal disinfection. Detailed disinfection methods can be found at the end of this article!

Section 4: Ensure the "Four Early" Measures for Rabbit Diseases

This means early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, and early culling of sick rabbits. It is essential to promptly identify rabbit diseases and treat them, as well as to cull affected rabbits early on.

To achieve early detection of rabbit diseases, the keeper should pay attention to the health check of rabbits during daily feeding and pen cleaning. It is important to promptly assess the rabbit's appetite, drinking habits, feces, mental state, hair condition, and ear color to determine if the rabbit is healthy. This measure is crucial for early diagnosis and control of rabbit diseases, reducing the harm to the rabbit flock, and minimizing economic losses to the farm.

Once rabbit diseases are diagnosed, in addition to early treatment for rabbits with mild conditions or high production value, rabbits with severe conditions, affected reproductive performance, or genetic diseases should be culled early on.
