What are the types of rabbit grass How to grow rabbit grass

1. Selection of pasture species

The most favorite pasture species for rabbits are: many Flowering ryegrass, alfalfa, hybrid pennisetum, bitter gourd…, in addition to feeding rabbit pastures, the owner can occasionally feed a moderate amount of cabbage, green vegetables, sweet potato vines, peanut vines, large Root vegetables, carrots and other plants are fed to rabbits. These are suitable food for rabbits, and the owners make comprehensive use of them in the process of raising rabbits.

Under normal circumstances, the output of pasture per mu of land can reach about 5,000 kilograms, which can be used to raise 110 rabbits per year on average. Because the cultivation time of different pastures is different, in order to let the rabbits have fresh green pastures to eat all year round, the owner must arrange the planting time of different pastures reasonably.

2. Cultivation method of rabbit pasture

1. Planting perennial pasture with annual pasture

Chicory is a perennial pasture, which can be grown continuously for about 8 to 10 years once planted. The utilization period of this pasture is from April to November. During the non-utilization period, multiflora ryegrass can be planted. The utilization period of multiflora ryegrass is from December to April next year. It is eradicated in mid-April to allow chicory grass to grow alone.

2. All annual pastures are used for rotation planting

It can be planted in late April Or hybrid Pennisetum. In mid-September, the grass roots of Bitterness or Hybrid Pennisetum will be pulled up, cleaned up and planted with multiflora ryegrass or winter grazing 70 ryegrass. In late April next year, multiflora ryegrass will be planted. Or the roots of Dongmu 70 ryegrass can be pulled out and cleaned up, and then replanted with bitter gourd or hybrid pennisetum, and so on repeatedly.

3. Rotate annual grass and crops

Can be replaced with carrots Multifloral ryegrass in the first mode. Alternatively, sweet potatoes can be planted instead of the bitter gourd in the second mode. However, the cultivation time of sweet potato should be in early June, and the clearing period of sweet potato should be in late October. Therefore, if you use sweet potato instead of planting, you need to extend the planting time of ryegrass or 70 rye to late October. Correspondingly, their clearing period needs to be delayed until early June next year.

A rabbit eats about 0.75kg of grass per day.

In addition, in addition to feeding the rabbits with fresh pasture, the owner also needs to feed the rabbits an appropriate amount of concentrated feed once a day. Rabbits need to eat about 70g of concentrated feed every day. In the concentrated feed used by rabbits, the amount of corn, wheat and other ingredients accounts for 40%, the amount of bran is 40%, the amount of bean cake is 15%, and the amount of fish meal is 40%. The most suitable amount is 3%. In addition, it is necessary to supplement the rabbit with appropriate amount of salt, trace elements and mineral feed. The specific amount of supplement needs to be adjusted in time according to different rabbit breeds and different growth periods.
