Li Zhan-ping: In order to make rabbits safe in summer, the author believes that the following points must be made:
1. The rabbithouse cools. To prevent reluctant heat stroke, proper cooling measures should be taken. In the open air rabbit farm, you must set up a pergola, or plant vines such as grapes, gourd, pumpkin, gourd, etc. in front of the rabbit house to shade it. Second, in the hot weather can use water curtain cooling, the effect is good. It is also possible to cover a 10-15 cm thick layer of straw or wheat straw on the roof of the rabbit house, sprinkle with cool water, and keep it moist for a long time, which can prevent a large amount of heat from entering the house. It also allows the rabbit to drink fresh groundwater, which also has the effect of preventing heatstroke.
2. To keep the rabbit house clean and hygienic. Rex rabbits love to be clean and afraid of moisture. They should always clean the cages and disinfect the ground, cages, utensils and sports grounds regularly to eliminate pathogens in the environment. Can be used 0.2% ~ 0.5% formalin solution, 1% ~ 2% of fire alkali water, 10% lime water or plant ash spray disinfection.
3. Strengthen ventilation. In summer hot season, ventilation in rabbit houses is very important. Always keep the air circulation in the rabbit house. Through ventilation, you can adjust the temperature inside and outside the rabbit house, and eliminate exhaust gas and harmful gases in the rabbit house, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases. . Young rabbits should be kept in larger cages and not overcrowded. In addition, the group of rabbits should be divided into small groups so that the rabbits are not crowded and heated, and the caged rabbits need to reduce the number of cages.
4. Give enough water to give. Always check that the drinking water is clean, you must maintain clean drinking water, can supply 1% of saline or 0.01% potassium permanganate water to prevent heat stroke and digestive tract diseases.
5. To feed at night, do not feed mildew feed. In summer, the temperature of white stork is relatively high, and the rex rabbit has low appetite. When the temperature is low at night, the rabbit has a strong appetite, so it is necessary to strengthen the feeding at night. If you feed grass, it is best to rinse with water and dry it before feeding. Summer high temperature and high humidity, the grass is very easy to mold, a lot of toxins produced by mold, rex rabbits eat moldy feed will cause mycotoxin poisoning, the incidence of death is extremely high, and therefore, must not be fed moldy feed. Feeding fleas should also be fed less frequently, which will not only prevent mildew but also reduce feed wastage.
6. Prevent diseases. Rabbit diseases that are prone to occur in summer include salmonellosis, mucinous enteritis, rickets, coccidiosis, Clostridium perfringens, and heat stroke. Prevention can be vaccinated before the heat season. The vaccines currently used for prevention are Clostridium welchii aluminum hydroxide bacterins. Salmonella hydroxide aluminum formaldehyde vaccine. In addition, some other drugs such as chlorpheniramine tablets, oxytetracycline soda powder and garlic can be added to the feed. If a rabbit with heatstroke is found, it should be immediately transferred to a cool, ventilated place. Apply a towel to the cold water and apply to the rabbit's head.
