1. Rabbit breeding season arrangement
1 , Spring, Autumn
The temperature in spring and autumn is warm, dry, and the light is sufficient. At this time, the sexual desire of the breeding rabbits is strong, the breeding conception rate is high, and the survival rate of the young rabbits is also relatively high, so it is generally recommended to arrange Rabbits are bred in spring and fall.
2. Summer
The hot weather in summer has a great impact on the appetite and reproduction of rabbits. If the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the breeding of rabbits should be stopped. However, if the physique of the female rabbit is strong and the heatstroke prevention conditions in the rabbit house are relatively good, it is still possible to arrange for the breeding of rabbits.
3. Winter
The temperature in winter is low, and the physique of breeding rabbits is relatively weak during this period. At this time, the conception rate is usually relatively low, and if there is no good thermal insulation equipment If so, the pups are easy to freeze or freeze to death after birth. Therefore, if there is a plan to let the rabbit breed in winter, you must supplement the rabbit with sufficient nutrition before winter comes to ensure the physique of the breeding rabbit. At the same time, improve the insulation measures in the rabbit house to ensure that the temperature in the rabbit house is not lower than 15 ℃ .
Second, key points of female rabbit breeding technology
1. Strict selection Breeding rabbits: When selecting breeding rabbits, focus on selecting high-yielding rabbits with high production performance, good motherhood and good reproductive performance. At the same time, the selected breeding rabbits must meet the characteristics of this breed, and the breeding rabbits should meet the conditions of pure coat
color and well-developed reproductive organs. The specific requirements for breeding rabbits are as follows: male rabbits are required to be of equal size, weigh more than 3.5kg, have thick limbs, strong libido, and strong sperm motility; female rabbits are required to have more than 4 pairs of nipples, healthy and disease-free, strong motherhood, and strong lactation ability. , the number of litter is large.
2. Scientific feeding: keep the female rabbits in a medium fat condition, and the male rabbits in a medium to upper fat condition. The feed for the breeding rabbits should be diversified, mainly feeding the breeding rabbits with full-price pellet feed, and adding green feed appropriately for feeding. 10 days before breeding rabbits, feed 50-100g carrots to the breeding rabbits every day, so as to improve the estrus rate of female rabbits and the milk production of female rabbits.
3. Let the breeding rabbits exercise and bask in the sun: Exercise can promote the metabolism of female rabbits, increase appetite and improve disease resistance. Allowing the breeding rabbits to bask in the sun is very helpful to promote vitamin synthesis and calcium and phosphorus absorption in the breeding rabbits. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of empty pregnancy and stillbirth in female rabbits, and improve the birth rate of female rabbits. In the absence of light, the estrus rate of breeding rabbits is often relatively low, and about 8 hours of light per day can promote estrus in breeding rabbits.
4. Scientific breeding: Pay attention to avoid inbreeding of rabbits, so as to grasp the estrus period of rabbits. If the rabbit has symptoms such as running around, loss of appetite, frequent urination, flushing, swelling, wetness and increased secretion of mucus in the genitals, it is likely that the rabbit has been in heat. Generally, when the vulva is red, the breeding conception rate is the highest, and the pet owner can try to let the breeding rabbit breed at this time. Secondly, in order to improve the conception rate and litter size of female rabbits, it is recommended to adopt repeated breeding method for rabbits.
This time, I will share the best period and technical points of rabbit breeding here, hoping to help you.
