I. Causes of rhinitis in rabbits
The results of the action of various pathogenic microorganisms of infectious rhinitis in rabbits, among which the most common There are Pasteurella, Bordetella, etc., in real life, the incidence of rabbit rhinitis in most rabbit farms is very high, and the main factors leading to the disease are as follows:
1 , The stocking density is too high. The higher the stocking density of rabbits, the higher the incidence of rabbit rhinitis, on the contrary, the lower the stocking density, the lower the incidence. By comparing rabbit farms with different stocking densities, it was found that rabbits raised in single-layer cages were less likely to suffer from contagious rhinitis, while rabbits raised in triple-layer cages and multi-layer cages had a significantly higher incidence of rhinitis.
2. Poor ventilation. In a closed rabbit house with poor ventilation, the fresh air inside is seriously lacking, and the air is mixed with a large amount of harmful gases such as ammonia and sulfur dioxide and a large amount of dust. When rabbits live in this situation for a long time, their respiratory resistance will be greatly reduced. Rhinitis occurs when a large number of pathogenic bacteria multiply in the respiratory tract. Conversely, rhinitis symptoms rarely occur in well-ventilated rabbit houses.
3. The climate changes greatly. Rabbit infectious rhinitis can occur throughout the year, but the incidence is highest in winter, followed by spring, and slightly lower in summer and autumn. Rabbit rhinitis has different inducing factors in different seasons. The common inducing factors in spring and autumn are unstable temperature and large temperature difference between day and night. In summer, the burden of rabbit breathing is increased due to high temperature and high humidity. In winter, it is mainly cold current and ventilation. adverse effects caused. Generally, the incidence of rhinitis in rabbit farms with good environmental control is lower.
4. Rabbit breed factor. No matter it is meat rabbits, skin rabbits or hairy rabbits, it is possible to infect rhinitis, among which meat rabbits have the lowest probability of infection, and then skin rabbits have the highest incidence of hair rhinitis. To this end, the owner must strengthen the feeding and management of fur rabbits and fur rabbits. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of introduction, and be careful not to introduce breeding in rabbit groups with high incidence, otherwise it will also lead to a higher incidence of disease in your own rabbit group.
5. Feeding and management conditions. The incidence of rhinitis in rabbits varies widely from farm to farm. In addition to the above four factors, the daily feeding and management level of the rabbit farm also has a great impact on the incidence of rabbit rhinitis. If the feeding and management work is in place, the incidence of rabbit rhinitis is relatively low, and vice versa.
The above is our introduction to the etiology of rhinitis in rabbits. The above are the common influencing factors that can affect the occurrence of rhinitis in rabbits. I hope you read this article. Better prevention for rabbits.
