The climate in spring and autumn is mild and dry, and the sexual desire of breeding rabbits is relatively strong in these two seasons. In these two periods, the conception rate of female rabbits is also relatively high, the number of litters is also relatively large, and the survival rate of litters is also relatively high. Therefore, spring and autumn are favorable periods for raising rabbits, and owners should pay attention to raising rabbits during this period. Many rabbits will adopt the method of matching blood with rabbits in spring and autumn, and then adjust the physique of the mother rabbit in time after the mother rabbit has given birth to 2~3 fetuses in succession.

2. Summer

The weather is hot in summer, but if the temperature in the rabbit house is above 30℃, it is necessary to stop raising rabbits in time. Therefore, it is best to stop raising rabbits from June to mid-July every year. However, if the female rabbit is strong and the rabbit house has the conditions for heatstroke prevention, the rabbit can be properly arranged for breeding.

3. Winter

In winter, the temperature is low and the breeding rabbits are weak, so the pregnancy rate is low during this period. Therefore, there is no good thermal insulation equipment in the rabbit farm, and it is easy for young rabbits to freeze to death or freeze to death after birth. Therefore, if the owner arranges rabbits to breed in winter, he must provide rabbits with nutritious feed, keep rabbits healthy and pay attention to heat preservation measures. Generally, it is advisable to keep the temperature of the rabbit house not lower than 65438 05℃.

Second, the key point of raising rabbits-timely breeding

1, according to the estrus performance of female rabbits, scientifically arrange rabbit breeding.

The estrus cycle of rabbits varies greatly, but it is usually from 8 days to 15 days, and the estrus period is usually about 3 days. The performance of estrus female rabbits is: restless behavior, loss of appetite, stamping hind limbs, cutting grass to build nests, and wet and red vulva. The estrus period of female rabbits can be divided into prophase, metaphase and anaphase, and the specific time period can be determined by observing the changes of female rabbits' genitals. In the early estrus of the female rabbit, the vulva is pink, moist and slightly swollen; In the middle of estrus, the female rabbit's genitals are red, moist and swollen; In the late estrus of the female rabbit, the vulva is purple-black, moist and swollen. The best mating period of female rabbits is the middle and late estrus.

2. Determine the mating period of rabbits

The owner can put the female rabbit into the male rabbit cage. If the female rabbit makes mating gestures when the male rabbit climbs onto the female rabbit, it means that the female rabbit is in estrus and can participate in breeding. Determination of mating time of female rabbits;

(a) determine the artificial insemination breeding period

The female rabbit is an animal that stimulates ovulation, and generally does not ovulate automatically without mating or drug stimulation, so the female rabbit must be stimulated to ovulate before artificial insemination. Generally, female rabbits can be injected with reproductive hormones to stimulate ovulation, and the pregnancy rate of female rabbits is the highest within 2~8 hours after ovulation stimulation. In order to improve the pregnancy rate of female rabbits, it is best for the owner to stimulate their ovulation during estrus.

(2) Determine the suitable breeding time.

In spring and autumn, the mating time of female rabbits should be arranged between 8 am and 10. Breeding in summer is best arranged in the morning or evening when it is cool. Breeding in winter is best carried out at a warmer time at noon.

The above is Dr. Paw Paw's introduction to the key points of rabbit feeding. Finally, remind rabbit farmers that 1 hour should not be arranged before and after feeding rabbits.
