Methods to increase the wool yield of the batter
1. Select and raise rabbits with good breeds. Under normal circumstances, the improved breed rabbits are large in size, with dense fur, less hardening, and high hair production. According to relevant research, the annual hair output of rabbits weighing more than 3.5kg can be as high as 500g or more, while the annual output of local breed rabbits and degraded imported breed rabbits is only 200~300g, and the quality of hair is poor.
2. Make full use of the advantages of rabbit hybridization. Crossbreeding excellent breeding rabbits with local rabbits or degenerate imported rabbits can play a role in improvement. The hair yield of the offspring bred by the hybridization of the two can be increased by 15% to 20% compared with that of native rabbits or degenerate imported rabbits, and the quality of their hairs will also be significantly improved.
3. Castration is not used for public immunity. After the male rabbit is castrated, the male rabbit’s temperament will become more gentle, easy to manage, resistant to rough feeding, can save concentrated feed, and can increase its hair production by 10%-15%.
4. Rabbit for wool is raised in a single cage. After the rabbits become adults, it is best to keep them in one cage and one rabbit, which can avoid the rabbits biting each other and reduce the possibility of rabbit feces contaminating the rabbit fur, and can also reduce the hardening and improve the quality of the rabbit fur.
5. Feed more feeds with high sulfur content to hairy rabbits. Rabbit hair is actually a kind of keratin, and its sulfur content can reach 4.02%, so hair rabbits need to take in sufficient sulfur content, which requires that the feed for hair rabbits is rich in sulfur content. Farmers can usually add an appropriate amount of 0.6% cystine and methionine to the diet of wool rabbits, which can increase the hair length of wool rabbits by 20.7% on average, and the gloss and elasticity of the hair of wool rabbits are also improved. will improve. In addition, adding appropriate amount of fish meal, blood meal and cake meal to the feed of wool rabbits can also improve the yield and quality of rabbit hair.
6. With special additives. In addition to giving full nutrient and high-quality feed to the fur rabbits to give full play to the fur-producing potential of fur rabbits, it shows that: supplementing trace elements such as sulfur, zinc, and copper to fur rabbits can also promote the skin of fur rabbits. Epidermal cells and rabbit hair grow, and can also increase the toughness and elasticity of their hair. Farmers can add 0.5g of sulfur, 1g of silkworm sand and 1g of tuckahoe to the feed of each hairy rabbit every day, so that the hairy rabbit can reach the hair-picking standard 7-10 days in advance.
This is the end of our sharing. I hope the above-mentioned measures to improve the production of rabbit fur can help you.
