The current animal husbandry industry is developing at a staggering pace. A few years ago, when millions of chicken farms were a foreign patent, in recent years, millions of chicken farms have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The same is true for pig farms. The increasing degree of automation not only makes it difficult for ordinary farmers to enter the industry, but also makes a small number of capable people sigh at the sight of "pig". But is traditional livestock farming profitable? make money! But not always, if you are not careful, you will lose everything. Just like this year's laying hen industry, how many farmers are miserable every day and insist on losing money! Therefore, if you want to engage in breeding and make money, the editor thinks it is better to engage in specialty breeding.
Some people suspect that this year, special breeding documents have been issued in batches, and animals such as bamboo rats are no longer allowed to be raised. Isn’t this asking for death? In fact, it is not the case. As the saying goes, the sword is biased. Although the policy is strict, there are still many projects that are relatively hot now, but you have not discovered them, such as rex rabbit breeding.
If you breed 100 animals, you can earn a huge profit of 360,000 yuan a year. The prospects are very promising. Rex rabbits eat grass, not grain, so they don't have to spend money to buy feed. Moreover, its reproductive ability is particularly strong and it can give birth to children in one month. One litter can produce 6 to 8 babies, and more can produce 10 piglets; one female can produce more than 60 piglets in a year, and one pig can be sold for about 60 yuan; It can be sold for more than 360,000 yuan per year.
Introduction and economic benefits of the Rex Rabbit
The Rex Rabbit is also called the Rex Rabbit. It is an excellent breed introduced from France. It is a rabbit breeding method with dual benefits of meat and fur. In other words, it can sell both rabbit meat and its fur. Their meat is tender and nutritious, and is a lean meat with high protein and low fat. Delicious dishes can be made through barbecue and cooking, which are very popular among consumers. A piece of rabbit meat can be sold for about 20 yuan, and a piece of rabbit skin can be sold for about 40 yuan. Its rabbit skin can be made into high-quality fur. Fur: in layman's terms, it is similar to clothing such as mink coats or fur coats. Therefore, its economic value is very high. An adult commercial rabbit weighs about 5 pounds, and a rabbit with meat and skin can be sold for more than 60 yuan.
Rex rabbits have strong reproductive capabilities. Female rex rabbits begin to go into heat and become pregnant around 6 months after birth. Rabbits will be born in about one month of pregnancy, with an average of about 6 to 8 rabbits per litter, and some may give birth to 10 rabbits. Rex rabbits will go into estrus and breed after the full moon. Therefore, in the animal kingdom, rabbits are the most capable of reproduction and fertility.
How to raise a Rex rabbit?
When I started to start a breeding business, I first needed to do a small-scale trial breeding. I first bought 100 five-month-old breeding female rabbits and raised them. When starting a business, you can just build a simple shed to save money. After the breeding is successful, you can build a plastic greenhouse with a steel pipe frame. That is, a long plastic greenhouse 50 meters long × 30 meters wide is used as the rex rabbit's residence. When feeding, cut grass for it and feed it back. Do not cut grass with dew when mowing. Rex rabbits will easily get sick after eating it. You should also pay attention to whether the weeds in other people's crop fields have been treated with pesticides to avoid rex rabbit poisoning.
You can also feed rex rabbits special feed, or you can plant several acres of pasture to feed rex rabbits. When feeding, a drinking fountain should be designed next to the feed trough to facilitate the rex rabbit to drink water by itself.
Prevention and treatment of common diseases in Rex rabbits
Rabbit plague is one of the common diseases of Rex rabbits. It is an acute hemorrhagic viral disease with extremely high morbidity and mortality. The disease often occurs in young rabbits of 3 months old. The symptoms of the sick rabbit are: loss of appetite, listlessness, thirst, high fever above 41°C, and rapid weight loss. The illness lasts about 1 to 2 days, and seriously ill rabbits will die. The sick rabbit was excited for a short time and trembled all over before dying. Then they died screaming, and some sick rabbits had bleeding from their nostrils when they died.
Reference prevention and treatment methods: Inject 1 to 2 ml of antiserum intramuscularly per kilogram of body weight of sick rabbits. Treatment can be achieved with 2 to 3 consecutive injections. However, for Rex rabbits, prevention is better than cure. Rabbit plague vaccine should be injected every spring and autumn for prevention.
Rex rabbit is a breeding industry with low breeding costs and high profits. The state also has supportive policies, and it is also a reliable entrepreneurial choice for new professional farmers.
Friendly reminder: Breeding is risky, so be cautious when investing!
