It is worth noting that the lower part of the fruit tree should be covered with plastic sheets or surrounded by a fence to prevent rabbits from biting the roots. In the middle section, it is best to build two rows of rabbit nests in the north-south direction, or enclose them with various crop straws for rabbits to breed and avoid mammals such as rain and snow. At a height of 20 cm from the ground, leave a small mouth for rabbits to enter and leave. ?
In order to maintain the delicious and original flavor of rabbit meat, try not to add drugs or less in the feed, and only add corn, bran, soybean meal and grass powder in the feed.
The advantage of free-range breeding is low labor intensity, and there is no need to clean the rabbit house and artificial breeding. Rabbits can mate naturally, which greatly reduces the amount of feeding labor.
In management, there are some differences between free-range culture and cage culture, mainly because free-range culture has defects in disease prevention and control, and cage culture management is not good. Some drugs can be added to drinking water or made into granular feed, which will increase the body's resistance after rabbits eat it.
Small-scale rabbits can be kept in the open space of the courtyard or in the old houses with idle houses. Rabbits can be kept in captivity or raised freely in large-scale artificial breeding. Its breeding method is that the rabbit house is in the fence of North, 2. 5m south with barbed wire or stainless steel mesh, or 2. 5m is made of brick, which can be used as a playground to prevent rabbits from escaping. Free-range hares are more effective in breeding and disease resistance than house feeding.
First, raise rabbits in the wild.
Raising rabbits and building rabbit houses is not only a big investment, but also not conducive to disease prevention and control. To raise rabbits in the wild, it is only necessary to enclose the site with barbed wire, interplant rabbit feed grass such as Pinus elliottii and Lolium perenne in the tall orchard, and carry out three-dimensional stocking of rabbits in the wild. Because rabbits are domesticated in the wild, they are very suitable for the wild environment. Raising rabbits in the wild not only saves investment, but also produces fine, soft, shiny fur, fresh meat and abundant game.
Rabbits raised in the wild are better than rabbits in reproduction and disease resistance. They are also easy to raise and get quick results, so they are favored by farmers. Corn can be planted in a vegetable garden or a responsible field with soft soil and high terrain, because rabbits don't eat corn seedlings, and corn stalks can shelter rabbits from the wind and rain. Rabbits usually eat weeds in the field without feeding any feed. When there is no grass in winter, throw peanut seedlings, corn stalks and bean stalks into the ground and let rabbits eat freely.
A fence about 2 feet high. 5 meters should be built around the rabbit farm to prevent escape. In summer, we should plant some trees, melons and beans, use leaves and vines to shade rabbits, and try to make them live in an environment similar to the wild. A simple rabbit house will be built in the rabbit farm to let it go in and out freely. A rabbit-like hole is built in the indoor part of the rabbit house. Rabbits usually live in it. If there is noise or interference, rabbits will hide in it. After a long time, the rabbit thinks this is its own nest.
2. Hares in orchards and woodlands.
Using our own and contracted orchards and woodlands, we will build a rabbit farm with a fence, comprehensively utilize orchards and conduct three-dimensional breeding.
Road.
The ideal orchards and woodlands for raising rabbits are far away from downtown residents, with few idle people, fresh air and quiet environment. They have both shady conditions and sunny places, which are very suitable for rabbits' cool, ventilated, dry and quiet habits and fear of noise. In addition, the chances of contracting diseases are less, which is very beneficial to the growth and reproduction of rabbits. There are many kinds of leaves and weeds in various orchards, and feed vegetables and leguminous grasses can be interplanted in the gaps between rows, so the feed is easy to collect.
(1) Raising rabbits in orchards and woodshed is not only convenient in feed source, low in cost and quick in effect. At the same time, raising rabbits in sheds in orchards and woodlands in cages is both environmentally friendly and easy to manage. After the trunk is surrounded by iron cages, rabbits can't chew the bark, and it won't hurt the tree.
Different kinds of grasses, such as chicory, ryegrass, amaranth, etc., can be planted in orchards and woodlands, or shorter auxiliary crops, such as sweet potatoes, soybeans, mung beans, peanuts and various grasses, can be planted for rabbits to eat, and it is best to stock them in batches if conditions permit. Around orchards and woodlands, several simple cement tile wooden houses can be built as a resting place for rabbits. Grazing rabbits have a lot of natural exercise and long sun exposure, so they have less diseases and low feeding costs.
In addition to raising rabbits in orchards and woodlands, orchards and woodlands can also be comprehensively utilized. Rabbits have the habit of eating persimmon leaves. Persimmon trees can be planted in orchards and woodlands. When the persimmon tree grows up, rabbits can eat persimmon leaves. Rabbits also have the habit of not eating corn seedlings. They can interplant corn among persimmon trees. The yield per mu of corn can also reach 650 kg, and persimmon trees can grow well.
It is a way to save labor and increase income by using orchards and woodlands to plant grass and let rabbits graze naturally in orchards and woodlands. Forage, fruit trees and trees grow fast, which can solve part of the source of green feed for raising rabbits, save part of the cost of artificial grass planting and artificial weeding every year and improve economic benefits. The three-dimensional cultivation of orchards and woodlands has formed a virtuous circle of rabbits grazing and rabbit manure returning to the fields to grow grass, which has promoted the growth of trees.
In the season when there is plenty of forage in orchards and woodlands, choose sunny days, collect some forage, dry it and store it for later use. Treatment of insufficient feed supply in winter, or inability to harvest during pesticide spraying, and inconvenient harvesting in rainy season. In order to solve their worries, some fruit farmers cut the stems, stems and leaves of sweet potatoes and peanuts into small pieces to dry and store them in textile bags for rabbit feed.
(2) Raising rabbits in orchards and woodlands can not only increase the direct economic income of fruit farmers, but also provide high-quality fertilizers for orchards and foresters. Rabbit manure is not only a fertilizer, but also a pollution-free pesticide. Its fertilizer efficiency is higher than that of human and animal manure, and its quick effect is second only to that of chemical fertilizer. If rabbit manure is collected and piled up on the spot, poured thoroughly with hot water, covered with plastic film or soil for fermentation, the fermentation can be completed in 7-8 days, and it will take effect if it is applied to the rhizosphere of fruit trees for half a month. It can also kill underground pests, such as root maggots. Because its feces are round, it is convenient to use steel brazing fertilization method, which saves time, effort and effort. After soaking and filtering, the developed manure can be sprayed on the leaves, which not only supplements the quick-acting full-price fertilizer, but also kills aphids, thrips, red spiders and other pests.
Fermented rabbit manure can be used as high-quality fertilizer for fruit trees, which can replace some chemical fertilizers, effectively prevent soil hardening, promote the growth of fruit trees and forests, and will not emit unpleasant odor, reducing the economic investment of fruit trees and forests.
(3) The best way to solve the problem of pesticide pollution of crops and weeds in orchards and woodlands is to harvest rabbit feed in the "safe period" of pesticides. Do not cut during the toxic action of pesticides. Each pesticide has a certain poisoning period after spraying. For example, the poisoning period of many organophosphorus pesticides such as dichlorvos and omethoate is about 7 days (about 3 days in rainy season). It's safer to cut after 7 days. Of course, the longer the time interval, the higher the safety factor. Secondly, the best countermeasure to prevent pesticide pollution of green feed in rabbit garden is to use pesticides with high efficiency and low toxicity as much as possible.
(4) The traditional pest control method in orchards and woodlands is to use chemical pesticides, but it is easy to cause pesticide pollution, and there are different degrees of residues in leaves and green fodder. Using insect traps and other devices to control pests and diseases is more in line with the requirements of ecological agriculture and can effectively prevent pesticide pollution and leaf residue.
