Young rabbits are rabbits that weaned to 3 months of age. In raising rabbits, young rabbits are the most difficult to raise and have the lowest survival rate. The main reasons are:
1. High requirements for environmental conditions. The young rabbit stage is the period in which rabbits gain the most weight in their lives. Under good feeding conditions, the daily gain can reach 30-45 grams, and the higher ones can reach 50 grams or more.
2, the higher the feed and feeding system requirements. Due to the fast growth and development of young rabbits, large amounts of feed must be eaten. At this time, the rabbit's gastrointestinal volume is small, digestion is weak, but the appetite is strong, often due to bulimia caused by excessive gastrointestinal burden, resulting in indigestion.
3, poor adaptability to the environment. The rabbit's neuromodulation function is not yet sound. Once it is frightened, it will easily cause the group to panic, affect eating, digestion and excretion, hinder growth and development, and in severe cases can induce diseases.
4, more stress factors. From the pups to the young rabbits, the environment has to undergo great changes, such as weaning, feed changes, cage changes, partner changes, vaccine injections, drug prevention, and barbed ears. These numerous stress factors often lead to young children. Rabbits have decreased resistance to disease.
5, easily lead to a variety of diseases. The most serious are coccidiosis, colibacillosis, pasteurellosis, and rabbit fleas. Once the epidemic prevention is neglected, the epidemic will easily explode, and some will cause the entire group to be destroyed and the loss will be severe.
Improve the survival rate of young rabbits should be a good four:
1, weaning off. The mortality rate of newborn rabbits was the highest within 3 weeks after weaning, and the transition period within 2 weeks was the key. Whether or not the milk can be cut off smoothly and safely through the transition period, the development of the lactating bunnies is the basis. It has been found in practice that the greater the weight at weaning, the higher the survival rate. Therefore, increasing weaning weight is crucial. In addition to strengthening the nutrition during the lactation period of the female rabbit and increasing the amount of lactation, it should be fed early so that the gastrointestinal can be exercised in the early stage. This will not only increase the weight of weaning, but also adapt to the vegetative fodder after weaning. Foundation.
Within two weeks after weaning, the pre-weaned rabbit feed was fed first, and then gradually transferred to young rabbit feed. Otherwise, suddenly change the material, prone to digestive diseases.
After weaning, it is best to adopt the mother-to-be-retention method, that is, to keep the original cage in its original nest. If you need to change the cage position, young rabbits should not be separated. At this time, one rabbit must not be raised in a single cage, otherwise it will cause loneliness and fear.
2, feed off. The death of more than 50% of young rabbits is due to an abnormal digestive system. Therefore, it is critical to prevent the digestive system diseases by putting good feedstuffs.
Young rabbits grow fast and eat more, but their digestive ability, especially the ability to digest crude fiber is weak. Therefore, the feed for young rabbits should be feed rich in nutrition, easy to digest, small in size, good in palatability, and high in energy and protein levels. However, the nutritional content is not as high as possible. Feeding a large amount of concentrated feed (high energy, high protein, low fiber) can easily cause diarrhea and enteritis. Certain roughage plays an important role in regulating the functions of the digestive system. The average dietary fiber content of young rabbits can be about 12%. In order to promote the growth and development of young rabbits, appropriate amounts of vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, enzyme preparations and antibiotics should be added to the mixture.
Rabbits have a strong appetite and are prone to bulimia. Feeding should be timed and quantified, and less feeding should be added. It is advisable to feed 4 to 5 times a day. Normally, feed the mixed concentrate twice a day and the green feed 2 to 3 times. The feed must be clean, the green feed must be fresh, and the grass with dirt must be washed and dried before feeding. The amount of feed should increase gradually with age, weight gain, can not suddenly increase and change the feed, keep feed relatively stable, otherwise, young rabbits are very susceptible to digestive tract disease or cause death. It is also not possible to feed green feeds and succulent feeds alone. Otherwise, the development of young rabbits will be affected and the grass will easily form.
3, environmental clearance. Young rabbits are delicate and sensitive to environmental changes. They should provide quiet, hygienic, dry, ventilated, warm and moderately dense growth environments. To prevent fright, moisture, cold, hot, anti-air pollution.
4, epidemic prevention. Young rabbits are prone to cause a variety of infectious diseases and it is very important to do a good job of prevention. The combination of environmental disinfection, drug prevention, vaccine injection and enhanced feeding management should be combined. In addition to the rabbit lice vaccine, Pasteurella, Borerbeckia, and Clostridium perfringens vaccines should also be injected. Spring and autumn also prevent stomatitis, pneumonia and colds. In the summer, it focuses on the prevention of coccidiosis and prevents enteritis in all seasons. Adding onions, garlic, etc. to the feed is good for preventing disease and promoting the growth of young rabbits.
In addition, in the feeding and management of young rabbits should also ensure adequate supply of clean drinking water, under normal circumstances, drinking water in winter once a day, other times a day 2 times, when the temperature is higher should be done constantly water, drinking water often change; Keep 2-3 hours of outdoor exercise time every day to promote digestion, increase appetite, promote absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and increase the resistance of young rabbits to disease.
