Hare Breeding Technology

Hares adaptability, resistance to extensive feeding. With artificial breeding, the breeding rate is high, the growth rate is fast, and the economic benefits are good.
1, the environmental requirements. Often use potholes, grass, stone clearance or seams and other places to rest. Care must be taken to create a similar environment for artificial feeding. The site should be quiet, wide, hygienic, and dry.
2, the law of activity. The hare is mainly active at night, especially at dusk or dawn. The hare is scared and scared, so keep quiet when you raise and prevent harassment. The provision of drinking water and fodder should be during the day, preferably in the afternoon, with more material for its night feeding.
3, eating habits. Hare eats grass as the staple food. In the severe winter, especially when covered with snow, if food is lacking, it will bite the bark, twigs, and grass roots; the hare has the habit of eating soft feces. This is a normal habit. Do not think it is Pica. In order to supplement the insufficiency of feeding, appropriate amount of grass can be put every day, and some straws can be put in winter, such as bean stalks, corn stalks, sweet potato vines and so on. It is also possible to supply corn, bran and other condiments and salt in an appropriate amount to increase their appetite.
4, breeding technology. After sexual maturity, the hares start mating when the temperature is appropriate. The north produces 3-4 litters a year and the south produces 6-8 litters a year. Due to the rich forage in the 5-10 months, the survival rate of young rabbits born in spring is higher. When the hare is estrus, it manifests as chasing, waving, and enuresis. The female rabbits are estrus on several occasions, and the male rabbits fight each other for mating. The pregnancy period is 30-40 days. Young rabbits are sexually mature for the second year. In the breeding period, artificial breeding can be carried out after acclimation.
5. Disease prevention and treatment. Because the hare is timid and difficult to catch, it is very difficult to inject a vaccine and it often causes natural casualties. Oxytetracycline may be added to the feed in an amount of 0.1 grams per day for 3 days for 1 week and 3 days. Repeatedly, it can play a role in preventing disease, inflammation, disease-free growth, and can also add furazolidone to the feed once a week to prevent diarrhea and coccidiosis.
