HOW TO BREED RABBITS

RABBITS




1. BRIEF HISTORY

These cattle previously wild animals are difficult
tamed. Domesticated rabbits since 2000 years
ago with the objective of beauty, food
and as experimental animals. Almost every
countries in the world has for livestock rabbit
rabbit has a body to adapt
relatively high, so they can live in almost
throughout the world. Rabbit developed in the area
with relatively high population, presence of
also cause the spread of rabbits as
different, in Europe called the rabbit, Indonesia
called the rabbit, called Java
trewelu and so on.

2. FISHERIES CENTER
Indonesia is still limited in certain areas and
not become centers of production / other words
maintenance is still traditional.

3. TYPE
According to the Binomial system, the rabbit
classified as follows:
Order : Lagomorpha
Family : Leporidae
Sub family : Leporine
Genus : Lepus, Orictolagus
Species : Lepus spp., Orictolagus spp.
Common types farmed the American Chinchilla, Angora, Belgian, Californian, Dutch,
Home Spot, Flemish Giant, Havana, Himalayan, New Zealand Red, White and Black, Rex
America. Local rabbits are actually derived from the Europeans who have mingled
with other types up beyond recognition. Types of New Zealand White and Californian very
good for meat production, while good for Angora fur.

4. BENEFITS
The benefits derived from rabbit fur and meat is that until this started to sell
hard in the market. In addition follow-up results can still be used for fertilizer, handicrafts and
fodder.

5. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Near water sources, far from the residence, smoke-free disturbance, smells, noise
and protected from predators.

6. TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR CULTIVATION
That need to be considered in the cattle business location of the rabbit is a suitable preparation,
cage making, provision of seeds and provision of feed.
A. Preparation Facility and Equipment
Function as a place to multiply cage with an ideal temperature of 21 ° C, the circulation
air smoothly, while the ideal 12-hour lighting and protect livestock from predators.
According to usability, rabbit cage divided into the main barn. To
parent / adult or the mother rabbit and her children, male cage, especially for
males with larger sizes and children are out sapih Kennels. To
avoid early marriages performed the separation between males and
females. Cage measuring 200x70x70 cm base 50 cm tall enough for 12 tail
male /10 male tail. Cage children (children box) size 50x30x45 cm.
According to the rabbit cage shape is divided into:
1. Enclosure postal system, without pengumbaran pages, placed in
room and suitable for young rabbits.
2. Enclosure systems ranch; equipped with pengumbaran pages.
3. Battery cages; similar cage in which a single row of cages for a tail
construction Flatdech Battery (lined), Tier Battery (story),
Pyramidal Battery (stacking pyramid).
Equipment required cage is the place to feed and drink
break resistant and easily cleaned.
B. Seedling
For livestock conditions are subject to the primary purpose of these rabbit breeding.
For the purpose of fur Angora types, American Chinchilla and Rex is
suitable cattle. Was for the purpose of the types of Belgian meat, Californian,
Flemish Giant, Havana, Himalayan, and New Zealand is a suitable animal
maintained.
1. The selection of seeds and prospective parents
When the farm aims to beef, selected types of rabbits weighing
body and perdagingan high with good, whereas for the purpose of fur
clearly choose seeds that have the genetic potential of growth of feathers
well. Specifically for them to have high fertility trait, not
simple nervous, not deformed, eyes and clean, hair is not dull,
lively / active move.
2. Seed treatment and prospective parents
Seed treatment to determine the quality of a good parent too, therefore
primary care that need attention is adequate feeding,
setting and a good cage sanitation and preventing the cage from
outside interference.
3. Pemuliabiakan System
To get a better descent and maintain properties
specifically the breeding distinguished in 3 categories, namely:
a. In Breeding (folded in), to maintain and highlight
specific characteristics such as feathers, the proportion of meat.
b. Cross Breeding (cross out), to obtain more offspring
good / add superior properties.
c. Pure Line Breeding (cross between seed magpie), to get
nation / new species are expected to have the appearance of
is 2 advantages seed mix.
4. Reproduction and Marriage
Mated female rabbits immediately when the reach adulthood at the age of 5 months
(females and males). If disturbed too young health and mortality
high kids. When the first male to marry, should kawinkan
with females who had been childless. When married in the morning / afternoon
day in males cage and allow it to happen 2 times a marriage, after
males were separated.
5. Birth Process
After the marriage will have pregnancy rabbits for 30-32 days.
pregnancy in rabbits can be detected by feeling the abdomen doe
12-14 days after marriage, when there was little balls that occurred
pregnancy. Five days before the birth mother moved into the stable
midwives to provide an opportunity to prepare heated in a way
knocked out his fur. Rabbit births often occur at night with
child's condition is weak, eyes closed and no fur. Number of children
born varies around 6-10 tail.
C. Maintenance
1. Sanitation and Preventive Action
Venue maintenance always endeavored not to be dry nests
disease. Damp places and wet causes colds easily rabbits
and skin disease.
2. Disease Control
Rabbit disease usually have symptoms of lethargic, appetite
down, body temperature rises and wistful eyes. If rabbits show it soon
pollutant quarantined and objects also immediately removed to prevent
outbreaks of disease.
3. Livestock Care
Weaning children aged rabbits performed after 7-8 weeks. Children saplings
separate cages placed with 2-3 tail content / cage and provided
and adequate feed quality. The separation of sexes based on need for
prevent premature adults. Castration can be done during
nearly mature. Generally performed on male rabbits with
throw balls.
4. FEEDING
Type of feed will include green grass covers the ground, grass
elephant, vegetables including cabbage, mustard greens, kale, bean leaves, leaves and leaf turi
beans, corn biji-bijian/pakan include amplifiers, green beans, rice,
peanuts, sorghum, bran and oilcake-bungkilan. To meet the feed
This needs to feed concentrates tambahn form that can be purchased at the feed store
cattle. Feed and drink provided in the morning around 10:00. Rabbit
given feed mixed with bran little water. Grass was given at 13.00
little / just enough grass and 18:00 o'clock in the amount given
more. Provision of drinking water should be provided in the cage for
sufficient for body fluids.
5. Maintenance Cage
Floor / mat cage, where food and drink, the remaining feed and feces rabbit
every day should be cleaned to avoid disease. Sinar
The morning sun had to go into the cage to kill germs.
Cage walls were painted with lime / tar. Former rabbit cage pain
cleaned with Creolin / lysol.

11. Pests in rabbits generally are predators of rabbits like a dog. In
general prevention and disease pests control and done with
keep the environment clean cages, feeding an appropriate and
meet the nutrient and the removal as soon as possible diseased cattle.

8. HARVEST
1. Main results
The main outcome was the rabbit meat and fur
2. Additional Results
Additional results of dung for fertilizer
3. Catching
Then to consider how to hold the rabbit should be the correct order
rabbit is not in pain.

9. Harvest
1. Stoving
Rabbit fasting 6-10 hours before cutting to clear the bowel. Giving
drinking remained.
2. Cutting
Cutting can be 3 ways:
1. Preliminary beating, rabbit beaten with a blunt object on the head
and the coma was slaughtered.
2. Collar bone fracture, broken bone with a tug on the neck. This way
less good.
3. Cutting usual, just like other cattle cutting.
3. Barking
Implemented starting from the back foot to the head with a rabbit hanging position
4. Expenditures Offal
Abdominal skin sliced from the navel to the head and viscera such as intestine, heart and paruparu
issued. Should be noted that the bladder should not be broken
as they may affect carcass quality.
5. Carcass Cutting
Rabbit was cut to 8 parts, 2 pcs front legs, rear legs 2 pcs, 2 pcs
the chest and the back of 2 pieces. A good percentage of carcass 49-52%.

2. Agribusiness Opportunity Preview
Nutrition movement that proclaimed the government mainly derived from
animal protein until now still not being met. Needs of our flesh still
is fulfilled by imports. Rabbits which had the advantage of fast
growing, high meat quality, easy and low maintenance costs
This makes livestock production potential to be developed. Moreover
supported by market demand and price of meat and fur high enough.
