Rex Rabbit, a Lexus rabbit, is a typical skin and rabbit rabbit that was bred from France. Because its fur resembles the precious fur beast, it is also known as Rex Rabbit. Rabbit meat is high in protein, low in fat, delicious in taste, easy to digest, and often eaten with beauty, anti-aging, fitness, and mental enhancement. It is a rare health food.
Rex rabbits are extremely prized for their fur, and have emerged unexpectedly in the case of unsalable rabbit hair and rabbit meat. Judging from the exports of rabbits from Shandong, Zhejiang, Jilin, etc., the export price of each rabbit skin is mostly between 3 and 5 US dollars, and each domestic leather garment is between 600 and 800 yuan, which is in short supply. At the same time, Rex rabbits are herbivorous animals that breed quickly and have short feeding cycles. As long as careful feeding, a female rabbit, can breed 6 to 7 children a year, 30 rabbits can be bred, weighing only 2.5 kg, income 25 yuan, a total of 750 yuan. If a family raises 10 groups (10 males and 20 females), the annual income can reach 15,000 yuan, deducting 5,000 yuan in various cost charges and annual net income of 10,000 yuan or more.
The appearance characteristics Rex rabbit fur has the advantage that other rabbits can not compare, namely "short, fine, dense, flat, beautiful, and prison". Rex rabbit hair is short, hair length 1.6 to 2.2 cm, and wool fiber diameter is small, coarse gun hair content is small. The hair is dense and erect, hard to fall off, and has good heat insulation. The hair is particularly plump and soft and has a uniform length and uniformity. Rex rabbits have many types of hair color, such as black, white, coffee, brown and other colors.
Forage feed Wild weeds and leaves can be fed, but to prevent pesticide contamination. Leguminous pasture and crop stalks such as soybean stalks, peanut pods, and sweet potato quails can be fed as roughage to feed rabbits. Under normal circumstances, adult rabbits daily green feed 800 to 1000 grams, 100 to 150 grams of concentrate feed. The formula for concentrate feed is: corn 40%, bran 20%, bean cake 20%, rice bran 5%, barley or sorghum 5%, fish meal 5%, bone meal 3%, salt 1%, auxin additive 1%.
Feeding management
(i) Male rabbits. Male rabbits should supplement protein feed and vitamins A and E (carrots) during the breeding period. If male rabbits are bred twice a day, the feed should be increased by 25%. Each male rabbit should be fixed with 2 to 5 female rabbits. The male rabbit has a service life of 2 to 3 years. Match the same color when mating, forbid different color rabbits to match or match with other meat rabbits.
(b) Pregnant female rabbits. Female rabbits are pregnant for 29 to 31 days. Keep quiet during pregnancy, do not arbitrarily catch, do not feed rotten spoilage feed. Three days before childbirth, properly reduce the amount of concentrate feed. Prepare prenatal preparations, sterilize breeding litters, and then spread soft and short straws. At this time, you should prepare cold water and put in a small amount of salt and sugar. Rice soup is also available. Such as postpartum lack of milk, can feed 2 tablets of lactation, and feed 2 to 3 days; also add brown sugar and hot lard in the feed.
(c) puppies. After a rabbit has poor disease resistance, it is important to prevent rats and all harmful animals from entering the rabbit house. The rabbithouse should be kept clean and tidy to prevent the puppies from falling out of the house and from overheating and overheating. After 18 days, the young rabbits should be trained to eat and give some digestible and nutritious ingredients. When the pups are 30-45 days old, they should be weaned in stages or weaned once. When rabbits are 45 days old, rabbit and Pasteurella vaccines are injected.
Breeding Breeding Rex rabbit breeding no obvious seasonality, so the breeding season can be all kinds of breeding, but the highest fertility rate in the spring. Male rabbits must be mated at 5 months of age and 2.25 kg in weight. Rabbits need a cage for rabbits. When mating, place the female rabbit in a rabbit cage and return it to its original position after completion. Summer breeding should be done before 7am and after 8pm, and during the winter before 10am and before 4pm. The farmer raises rabbits and breeds them in summer to prevent heat and cold in winter. It is well-established to breed nests. It is better to breed female rabbits naturally.
Disease Prevention and Control In the mildew season, coccidiosis is prone to occur. Attention should be paid to preventing moisture, and a certain amount of garlic, onion, leeks, etc. should be added to the feed, and regular doses should be given to chlorpheniramine and sulfamethazine. If a cold or pneumonia is caused by a change in the weather, one can be given antipyretic analgesic tablets or a mixture of blue and streptomycin injections.
