The effect of vitamin deficiency in rabbits
1. The effect of vitamin A deficiency: vitamin A It has a great effect on the normal growth and development of rabbits, reproductive ability and the ability to resist viruses. At the same time, it is also an indispensable substance to maintain the normal epithelial cells of various tissues and organs of rabbits. The lack of vitamin A in rabbits causes keratinization of the epithelial cells of the reproductive organs, which in turn leads to hypofunction of the reproductive system.
2. The effect of lack of vitamin D: Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium in rabbits, and at the same time can promote the growth of rabbits. Rabbits are deficient in vitamin D, usually have symptoms such as soft bones, and also reduce the reproductive capacity of rabbits.
3. Effects of lack of vitamin E: Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, has antioxidant effects in rabbits and can prevent the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in rabbits. Once the rabbit lacks vitamin E, the unsaturated fatty acids in the rabbit will be over-oxidized, and a large amount of oxides will be produced at the same time, which will cause lesions in the reproductive organs of the rabbit, destroy the reproductive cells of the rabbit, and affect the reproductive function of the rabbit.
4. Effects of lack of vitamin B1: Vitamin B1 is also called thiamine, which is an important part of sugar metabolism in rabbits. When rabbits lack vitamin B1, their pyruvic acid metabolism will be blocked, and it is easy to cause the accumulation of pyruvate in the rabbit’s brain and blood, causing poisoning. In addition, due to the blockage of glucose metabolism and insufficient energy supply for rabbits, it is likely to cause neurological disorders in rabbits. If the female rabbit is deficient in vitamin B1, it will lead to ovarian atrophy, follicular development stagnation, and empty pregnancy. Pregnant female rabbits will also have stillbirths, miscarriages, etc. Even if the pups are successfully born, the vitality of the pups will also be reduced. very weak, and the female rabbit will produce very little milk.
The above are the effects that we can have on different vitamin deficiencies in rabbits. I wonder if pet owners have remembered them? It is hoped that the pet owner can remember the above knowledge carefully, so that once the above adverse conditions are found in the rabbit, the corresponding vitamin can be supplemented to the rabbit in time to promote the rabbit to return to normal.
