How to supplement nutrition for rabbits
1. Keep the variety of feed for breeding rabbits. The owner should usually feed the breeding rabbits with a variety of feeds, that is, feed with concentrated feed, pellet feed, hay and other feeds. This can not only increase the palatability of rabbit food and promote digestion and absorption, but also allow different nutrients contained in different feeds to play a complementary role, and further improve nutrient utilization. It is difficult to feed a single feed to the breeding rabbits for a long time to meet the nutritional needs of the rabbits, and may also cause nutritional deficiencies in the rabbits, affecting their growth and development.
2. The weather is hot in summer, and the feed intake of breeding rabbits during the day is very small, mainly at night. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Rabbits exercise a lot at night and consume a lot of energy. The above points all indicate that the owner must supplement feeding at night, that is, feed the rabbit once before going to bed at night, and add feed in the feeding trough of the rabbit house, which can be placed in appropriate amounts. Mix feed and pellets, add enough clean drinking water to the sink, and put forage on the shelf so that the rabbit can eat freely at night and avoid starvation.
3. Pay attention to keeping the feed and drinking water of the breeding rabbits fresh and hygienic. No matter when the rabbit eats, the feed and drinking water must be fresh and hygienic, rather than providing enough feed to the rabbit. It should also ensure that the rabbit’s feed and drinking water are free from mold, deterioration, toxins and other problems , Breeding rabbits need to have a balanced diet and at the same time ensure safety and health.
4. Fix the number and time of daily feeding, so that the breeding rabbits develop the habit of eating and excreting regularly, so as to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines of the breeding rabbits. Just complete the digestion and absorption of the feed.
The above are some suggestions for supplementing nutrition for rabbits. In addition, it is necessary to remind the owner that it is necessary to match the rabbit’s feed reasonably and ensure the rabbit’s diet. Contains all the nutrients your rabbit needs, such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. If certain nutrients are lacking in the feed, additional supplements are required.
