8 measures to improve the survival rate of pups

As we all know, ensuring the survival of puppies is an important part of raising the effectiveness of raising rabbits. So, how to improve the survival rate of puppies?

1. Insulation antifreeze. Newly born puppies have poor performance in regulating body temperature, and ambient temperatures that are too high or too low have adverse effects on rabbits. In particular, cold is a great threat to them. Therefore, we must choose materials with good heat-insulating properties and strong hygroscopicity such as soft wheat straw and rice straw, sterilized poultry hair, crushed shavings or sawdust. The bottom of the production box is cushioned with a layer of heat insulation material such as foam plastic. In general, the bedding should be organized into a high, low-middle shape so that the rabbits can concentrate and heat each other. If the room temperature is too low, the room should be warmed or placed in a warm place and breast-feeding regularly.

2. Let the pups eat their milk and eat enough milk. Colostrum is the milk secreted by female rabbits within 1~3 days after birth. It is rich in nutrients such as high protein, high energy, vitamins and magnesium salts that are needed for puppies. It also contains immune antibodies that can enhance its resistance to disease. If puppies cannot eat colostrum, it is often difficult to survive. Puppies should have colostrum within 6 hours of birth, otherwise they should be forced to breastfeed. The female rabbits were asked to pull out the hairs around the nipple; massage the breasts with a hot towel, and then put the female rabbits back into the nest box and fix it in the nest box. First, make it quiet. Then place the puppies next to each nipple. Hold your nipple on your nipple and allow the rabbit to suck freely. In the process of operation, it must be patient and meticulous, and the action should be gentle so that the female rabbit can feel no fear.

While allowing the young rabbits to have a baby early, we must also ensure that the baby rabbits eat enough milk. The status of feeding must be checked frequently. If it is found that the pups cannot eat or eat enough milk, the method of adjusting foster care can be adopted. It is advisable that the birth dates of the fostered and the original litter size be no more than 2 to 3 days. For foster success, the baited rabbits should be wiped clean and coated with milk or urine for foster mothers.

3. To do a good job of artificial breastfeeding. If the pups are born, the female rabbits may die if they die, have no milk, or have breast mastopathy, or if they are not fostered. The first 5 days after birth, it is best to dilute 1~1.5 times with fresh milk and goat's milk, boiled and sterilized, and feed it at 37~39°C for 1~2 times per day. After 5 days, 200 ml of fresh milk was used, and a mixture of 3 ml of cod liver oil, 2 g of salt, and 1 fresh egg was added and the mixture was boiled and cooled to 37-39°C. Breastfeeders can use glass droppers, syringes, or plastic eye drops to allow the rabbit to suck freely. The amount and concentration of the feed should be judged based on the condition of the feces and urine of the rabbit. If there is too much feces and stinks, it means that the amount of feed is too much; if the grass is moist, it means that the urine is too much, and the feed is too thin; if the dung ball is hard and granular, it means the feed is too strong. Feeding and concentration should be adjusted as appropriate until the excreta is normal.

4. Prevent hanging milk. The phenomenon of taking out puppies is called "hanging milk." Lifting milk is a frequent problem in the production of rabbits, and it is also one of the major causes of early death in puppies. The reason is that breast milk is insufficient, and the young rabbits do not eat enough, sucking the nipple for a long time and not tipping their mouths. When the female rabbit leaves the nest, it will bring the puppies being sucked out of the nest; or when the female rabbit is breastfeeding. Suddenly startled, causing the female rabbit to panic, it will suddenly leave the nest and bring the suckling suckling rabbit out of the nest. Because the body temperature regulation function of the pups is not well developed, the hanging milk will be frozen to death for a long time. In the warm season, the hanging cuddly rabbit falls in the female rabbit cage. Even if it does not die when frozen, it may be trampled by the female rabbit, or it may get stuck in the leak of the pedal. When the hanging milk is found, it is necessary to find out the reason and take timely measures. If it is the female rabbit lack of milk caused by hanging milk, should adjust the female rabbit diet or prolactin; for breast milk caused by lack of milk due to breast cancer, should be treated; if due to improper management so that the female rabbit was frightened to leave the nest and cause hang Milk should strengthen management and create a quiet environment for it.

5. Do a timely feed. The amount of lactation of female rabbits gradually decreases with the growth and development of young rabbits, and the nutritional needs of young rabbits cannot be satisfied. If puppies do not feed, they must be lured. Put a platter in the produce box, mix some of the powder, the powder into a particle size like Rendan pill, from the mouth of the pups into the mouth, after several times, puppies can take the initiative to eat.

Feeds that start to be fed are selected for high nutritional value and are easily digested, such as cooked beans, soy milk, tofu, cornmeal, or fresh green grass, leaves, etc. After 20 days of age, some grasses, cakes, feeds, and mineral feeds can be fed, and a small amount of antibacterial drugs, Onion , Garlic, bactericidal stomach and anti-coccidial drugs, etc., should also be added to the feed to enhance the body's health. The pups have poor digestive abilities and must be fed with less meals. Usually, they are fed 5 to 6 times a day. The beginning of feeding should be based on breast feeding. After 25 days of age, they are gradually changed to feeds, supplemented by breastfeeding. Until weaning.

In the process of feeding the young rabbits, do not feed a lot of juicy feed. Feed a suitable amount of high-quality green hay, or mix in the mixture with a suitable amount of high-quality green hay powder. Otherwise, it may easily cause indigestion in puppies. Diarrhea. Once diarrheal disease occurs in puppies, it will cause rapid dehydration in pups, which is very difficult to treat and can easily cause a large number of deaths, resulting in serious economic losses.

6. Make timely weaning. The sooner or later weaning should be based on the feeding level, breeding system of the female rabbit, development status of the pups, variety and use, etc. It should not be too early or too late. Prematurely, the mortality rate of pups will increase, and it will affect their growth and development too late. In general, puppies are weaned during 28 to 42 days. If the whole litter is strong, a weaning method can be used. For non-developed puppies, the first broken after the small break.

7. Do a good job in the hygiene of the box and rabbit cage. Check the litter box every day. If you find that the lower part of the box and the four corners are wet or the female rabbit defecates in the box, remove it promptly to prevent coccidiosis from eating the female rabbit's feces. In sunny days, the production box should be sun-dried, which can play a role in disinfection and sterilization. Regular disinfection, frequent replacement of bedding, cleaning of nest boxes, creating a clean and comfortable environment for puppies.

8. Promptly inoculate various vaccines. According to different ages, rabbit seedlings, Pasteurella inactivated vaccines and Clostridium perfringens inactivated vaccines were used to prevent vaccination and ensure healthy growth of the young rabbits.
