The life temperature of a long-haired rabbit is 10°C to 25°C, and it will be uncomfortable when the ambient temperature reaches 5°C or less or 30°C or more. Therefore, the high temperature in the summer will have adverse effects on the growth and development, reproductive capacity, wool production, and hair quality of long-haired rabbits. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the summer feeding and management of rabbits.
1. Ventilation to cool down The doors and windows of the rabbit house in summer should be opened day and night for ventilation. When the weather is hot, it is better to open the fan to cool down. When the air in the house is dry, a cool water or a few cold water basins can be sprayed on the floor at noon for cooling. If the house is humid, it must be ventilated and dampened so as to maintain a dry and cool microclimate. Otherwise, the high temperature and high humidity will harm the rabbit body more. In addition, widening the roof of the rabbit house, taking a pergola, hanging curtains, outside the window to install sun shade or shade net, etc., can play a cooling effect, but do not affect the ventilation inside the house.
2. Surrounding the environment The greening rabbit house should be planted with trees, erected with grapevines, and planted with pasture to cover the ground. This can reduce the temperature of the environment, purify the air, and improve the microclimate.
3. Decrease the density In summer, when the high temperature is high, the rabbit body emits a lot of heat and it will increase the temperature inside the house. Therefore, the breeding density should be appropriately reduced in the high temperature season.
4. Insulation of rabbit hair in time is better. In the high temperature, shearing must be done so that the shorter the better.
5. Rabbits fed scientifically are nocturnal animals and have more feed intake during the night than during the day. Especially during the summer months, the daytime is almost a full day rest and rarely eats. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to feeding in the morning and evening hours. The amount of feed should be reduced less than in other seasons. Feed coordination should pay attention to comprehensive nutrition, protein content should be sufficient, energy feed should be appropriately reduced to reduce the rabbit's heat dissipation. In summer, more attention should be paid to feeding green feed to keep the feed clean and hygienic. All the belts should be cleaned and dried to feed the rabbits. Special attention should be paid to the grass that has been sprayed with pesticides and the rotten green material. In addition, supply clean drinking water for free drinking.
6. Stop breeding high temperature is not conducive to breeding of long-haired rabbits, so it is not appropriate to breed breeding in summer.
7. To strengthen the epidemic prevention Summer rain is prone to coccidiosis. Regular feeding of chlorpheniramine should prevent the disease. At the same time, the house should be sterilized on a regular basis, a disinfection tank should be installed at the entrance, doors and windows should be installed with screen doors and screens to prevent mosquitoes and flies biting and spreading diseases.
