Methods to improve the conception rate of female rabbits
1. Promote sexual function of male rabbits Restoring and improving the semen quality of male rabbits is the fundamental measure to improve the conception rate of female rabbits. As we all know, the condition of female rabbit breeding and conception mainly depends on the number and vitality of male rabbit sperm. The owner can promote the recovery of the male rabbit’s sexual function by the following methods:
①Induce estrus: During the estrus period, the male rabbit and the female rabbit in estrus are directly locked together, which can promote the recovery of the male rabbit’s testicular function.
②Testicular massage: Massaging the testicles of male rabbits can promote blood circulation and stimulate testicular tissue proliferation. You can massage male rabbits twice a day, 3 to 5 minutes each time, and pay attention to control the intensity.
Using hormones for aphrodisiac: Inject male rabbits intramuscularly once a day with 0.5 micrograms of No. 3 No. 3 for promoting excretion, generally after 5 injections, the method of male rabbits. Every other day, 0.5 micrograms of “3 of 3” was intramuscularly injected into male rabbits. After five consecutive sessions, the semen quality of the male rabbit will be greatly improved.
Finally, it is necessary to remind the owner that the male rabbit’s sexual function needs a certain process to recover. Once the male rabbit’s sperm is killed, it generally takes 50 to 60 days to regenerate. .
2. When female rabbits are bred at the peak of estrus, the conception rate can be increased by 20% to 30%. For female rabbits with difficulty in estrus, the female rabbits can be induced to estrus, and the female rabbits can also be aphrodisiac by injecting chorionic hormone, luteinizing hormone, triple hormone, and ovulation-stimulating hormones. In addition, the following methods are very beneficial to promote the female rabbit’s estrus industry: mix 10% of Epimedium or leek seeds in the female rabbit’s feed, and mix it with the female rabbit for 10 days; add an appropriate amount to the female rabbit’s feed. For carotene, add 40 mg per kg of rabbit feed; trim the vulva of the female rabbit before breeding. In general, there are many ways to aphrodisiac a female rabbit, and the owner needs to choose the most appropriate aphrodisiac method according to the actual situation of the rabbit.
3. Other measures to improve the conception rate of female rabbits:
①According to the ovulation characteristics of rabbits, Repeated mating method or double mating method is implemented on female rabbits to increase the chance of conception of female rabbits.
②Regularly check the female rabbit. After the female rabbit is bred for 8 days, the female rabbit should be touched. If it is found that the female rabbit is not pregnant, the female rabbit needs to be re-bred to shorten the empty pregnancy time of the female rabbit. If the female rabbit is found to suffer from reproductive system diseases, it needs to be treated or eliminated in time.
③If the physique of male and female rabbits is relatively robust, frequent or semi-frequent breeding of rabbits can be adopted on the premise of strengthening the nutrition of rabbit feed to improve the conception rate and reproduction speed of rabbits.
The above are the methods we have summarized to improve the conception rate of female rabbits. We hope to bring help to rabbit farmers and effectively improve the conception rate of rabbit breeding.
