Methods and techniques to improve the fur quality of Rex Rabbit
1. Arrange the breeding of rabbits reasonably
First of all, strictly select excellent rabbit species for breeding, so as to breed more excellent offspring and produce higher quality fur; Second, allow the rabbits to do interline crosses. At present, the main breeds of Rex rabbits are American, German and French. In contrast, American Rex rabbits have the strongest reproductive ability and German Rex rabbits the weakest, but in terms of growth rate, German Rex rabbits have the greatest growth potential.
2. Pay attention to the early weight gain of Rex rabbits
The hair follicle density of Rex rabbits is closely related to its body weight. Generally, the larger the body weight, the greater the hair follicle density. However, since the differentiation of the hair follicles of Rex rabbits mainly occurs in the early stage, breeders should pay attention to the weight gain of the weaned young rabbits. Ensuring the uninterrupted growth of Rex rabbits under 3 months of age is very important to improve the weight and coat
quality of commercial Rex rabbits.
3. Take control measures before and after
After weaning of Rex rabbits During the period of 3 to 3.5 months of age, the breeder must ensure that the Rex rabbits have sufficient nutrition, and pay attention to giving them enough nutritionally balanced feed for them to eat freely. It is necessary to make full use of the rapid growth and development of rex rabbits in the early stage, to give full play to the growth potential of rex rabbits, and to promote the rapid growth and weight gain of young rabbits. After 3.5 months of age in Rex rabbits, their growth rate needs to be properly controlled. There are generally two methods to control the growth rate of Rex rabbits: quality control method and quantity control method. This fattening technology that promotes and controls the rear can not only save rabbit feed, reduce feeding costs, but also effectively improve the quality of the skin of fattening rabbits. Fat and connective tissue.
4. Scientific feeding of Rex rabbits
During the fattening period of Rex rabbits, in addition to meeting the nutritional requirements of Rex rabbits for energy, protein and cellulose, They can also be given some feed additives, such as rare earth elements, antioxidants, enzyme preparations, microecological preparations, etc. These substances are helpful to improve the healthy growth and fur quality of Rex rabbits. In order to produce the ideal fur of Rex rabbits, it is very important to give Rex rabbits a nutrient-rich feed to ensure their nutritional balance. It is best to feed Rex rabbits with full-price pelleted feed.
5. Provide a suitable living environment for rabbits
Try to keep rabbits The temperature of the house is around 25°C, and the humidity is in the range of 55%-65%. If it is a rabbit farm to raise rabbits, it is important to pay attention that the stocking density should not be too high.
6. Arrange the Rex Rabbit to be slaughtered at a suitable time
In general, when the rabbit is 5 months old and the weight reaches 2.5~3kg, it can be slaughtered. Let them out. If you want to eliminate backup rabbits or breeding rabbits, try to eliminate them in winter, and avoid elimination in the two periods of March to May in spring and September to November in autumn.
Summary: Whether it is the rabbit itself, diet or environment, these factors have a certain impact on the quality of the rabbit’s hair. In order to produce high-quality rabbit fur, none of the above factors can be ignored. That’s it for my sharing of methods and techniques to improve the fur quality of Rex rabbits, I hope it will help you.
