I. Causes of death of whole litter of rabbits
Generally, the gestation period of female rabbits exceeds After 20 days, the fetus in the womb of the female rabbit enters the rapid growth stage, and most of the birth weight of the newborn rabbits is completed 10 days after the gestation period of the female rabbit. However, as the fetus grows larger, more and more toxic substances are produced by the metabolism of substances in the fetus. The fetus generally transfers the toxic substances produced by the placenta into the body of the female rabbit, and then excreted by the female rabbit. However, if the female rabbit’s own metabolism produces a large amount of toxic substances, there are more toxic substances transferred from the young rabbits. When the rabbit is in labor, the female rabbit will have chronic poisoning, which will cause the female rabbit to have a bad spirit and low appetite before labor. After the mother rabbit gives birth, certain toxic substances will remain in the mother rabbit’s milk. If the newborn rabbits eat these toxic milk, it may cause the death of the whole litter of rabbits. The condition, called lactosis, is more likely to occur in winter.
