Causes of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits

1. The incidence of infectious rhinitis in rabbits

1. Rabbit stocking density. The higher the stocking density, the higher the risk of infectious rhinitis in rabbits, and conversely, the lower the stocking density, the lower the incidence. For example, if the breeding rabbits are raised in a single layer, the stocking density is relatively low, and the incidence of rhinitis will be relatively low.

2. Rabbit cage placement level. Generally, in a rabbit house where rabbits are raised in three-layer rabbit cages, the rabbits on the top layer have a higher probability of rhinitis, while the rabbits in the bottom rabbit cage have a lower incidence of rhinitis.

3. Rabbit cage placement. In multi-arranged rabbit houses, rabbit rhinitis is characterized by the rabbit cages placed near the south wall and the north wall, especially the rabbit cages placed near the south wall in winter, the incidence of rabbit rhinitis will be higher, and the rabbit cages placed in the middle The incidence of rhinitis in rabbit cages in the location will be lower.

4. Feeding methods. The incidence of infectious rhinitis in outdoor caged rabbits was lower than that in indoor cages, and the incidence of rabbit rhinitis in small-scale rabbit farms was lower than that in large-scale rabbit farms.

5. Rabbit breeds. Meat rabbits, leather rabbits, and leather rabbits can all be infected with rhinitis, but the incidence varies greatly among different breeds. Meat rabbits had the highest incidence of rhinitis, skin rabbits the lowest, and skin rabbits in the middle, which was mainly caused by genetic factors among different breeds of rabbits. To this end, the owner needs to strengthen the feeding and management of fur rabbits and leather rabbits with poor disease resistance, and at the same time pay attention to the breeding to improve the disease resistance of this breed of rabbits.

6. Rabbit age. As the rabbits grow older, the incidence of rhinitis will continue to increase. For example, in the young rabbit stage, the probability of rhinitis infection is relatively low, while the susceptibility of young rabbits transitioning to young rabbits is higher. It seems that in the rapid growth stage of rabbits The chances of contracting rhinitis are high. In order to reduce the overall incidence of the rabbit population, the owner should start with young rabbits, pay close attention to young rabbits and young rabbits, and strictly control the infection of rhinitis in breeding rabbits.

7. Season. Spring and autumn are usually the seasons of high incidence of rabbit infectious rhinitis, because the temperature in spring and autumn is extremely unstable, which is easy to cause rabbit rhinitis. However, rabbit infectious rhinitis can actually occur in all seasons, and each season has different inducing factors. For example, the main cause of the disease in spring and autumn is unstable temperature, in summer, high temperature factors have a greater impact, and in winter, it is mainly affected by cold currents. and the influence of foul gas, etc. However, as for which season the incidence rate is high, it is mainly affected by the intensity of local triggering factors at that time.

8. Rabbit farm conditions. The incidence of rhinitis in different rabbit farms is very different. The disease is related to the stocking density, feeding method, rabbit species and nutritional conditions of the rabbit farm. The basic conditions and management level of the rabbit group are the decisive factors. Once rabbits with a high incidence rate are introduced into the rabbit farm, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of disease control of the rabbits in the future. Therefore, the feeding and management methods of the owners are really important and must be appropriate.

This is the end of our explanation of the causes of infectious rhinitis in rabbits today. The above is the specific incidence of infectious rhinitis in rabbits. The Lord brings help to reduce the occurrence of rhinitis in rabbits.
