Effective measures to improve the nutrient conversion rate of rabbit feed
1. The relationship between various nutrients. Rabbits can only get the nutrients they need for their physiology, growth, production and body temperature regulation by eating feed. In general, rabbit feed intake is inversely proportional to feed energy. The higher the energy of the feed, the less the rabbit eats, so the rabbit’s intake of other nutrients in the unit feed will also decrease, which will inhibit the rabbit’s production performance. If the energy in the rabbit feed is too low, the rabbit’s feed intake will increase, but if the rabbit’s volume is too large, the rabbit’s nutrient intake will be insufficient, and its production performance will also be inhibited.
Therefore, an excellent feed with high nutrient conversion rate must have a reasonable ratio of energy to nutrient concentration of various nutrients. If the energy in the rabbit feed is too low, the rabbit’s feed intake will increase, but if the rabbit’s volume is relatively large, the intake of nutrients is still insufficient, and its production performance will also be inhibited.
2. Apply digestible amino acid balance theory. The amount of amino acids in rabbit feed is an important factor in determining the growth rate and feed conversion rate of rabbits. There must be certain amino acids in the feed of rabbits. By drinking the digestible amino acid balance theory, the conversion rate of rabbit feed can be well improved, and then the cost of rabbit feed can be reduced.
3. Maintain the balance of micronutrient supply in rabbit feed. Micronutrients include vitamins and trace elements, which play a very important role in the functional metabolism, enzymatic reactions and biochemical reactions of rabbits. The supply balance of micronutrients in rabbit feed has a great effect on improving the production performance of rabbits and improving the conversion efficiency of rabbit feed. If there is an imbalance of micronutrients in rabbits, it will cause nutritional diseases in rabbits, resulting in decreased performance and feed conversion efficiency of rabbits.
4. The last way to improve the nutrient conversion rate of rabbit feed is to use scientific feed processing technology, including:
1. Appropriate feed crushing particle size. The reasonable particle size of the rabbit feed will help the various nutrients of the rabbit feed to be mixed evenly and keep the quality of the rabbit feed consistent.
2. Improve the granulation and puffing effect of rabbit feed; improve the palatability of rabbit feed.
3. Keeping the rabbit feed evenly mixed can promote the uniformity of various nutrients in the rabbit feed.
4. Scientifically store rabbit feed to keep the quality of rabbit food unchanged.
