Weaned young rabbits are hard to keep

Many rabbit farmers report that weaned young rabbits are difficult to keep and die. What is the reason?

From the weaning to the 3 months old bunny rabbits were called. It is characterized by strong appetite and greed, but poor adaptability to the environment and easy to get sick. In particular, when the gastrointestinal tract of young rabbits is inflammatory, its intestinal wall is permeable, and harmful substances in the digestive tract are easily absorbed, which can easily cause poisoning and death of young rabbits.

To improve the survival rate of young rabbits, the following measures should be taken:

1. Timely weaning. Under good husbandry and management conditions, puppies can be weaned when they are 28 to 42 days old and weigh more than 750 grams. Early weaning can affect the growth and development of young rabbits. However, weaning too late is also not conducive to female rabbits recuperating and affecting the female's next breeding cycle. Therefore, according to the breed of rabbits, the growth condition, the condition of the female rabbit, etc. determine the appropriate weaning time. In general, rabbits of meat rabbit breeds can be weaned at 28-35 days of age, and puppies of rabbits and rabbit breeds can be weaned at 35-42 days of age.

2. Strengthen nutrition. After weaning, young rabbits should be fed more nutritious, easy-to-digest pellets, and less feed with more water and green feed. The protein in the diet should reach 16% to 18%. The feeding principle is to eat fewer meals and feed 4-5 times a day.

3. Prevention of coccidiosis. Before and after weaning until 3 months of age is an outbreak of coccidiosis. The biggest threat to young rabbits. The death rate of coccidiosis is as high as 80%. Therefore, anticoccidial, enteritis, and growth-promoting drugs must be added to the feed. Such as Diclazuril, the enemy bacteria net, olaquindox and other drugs.
