Measures to increase the survival rate of puppies
Raising the survival rate of baby rabbits is a crucial aspect of rabbit farming and plays a key role in improving the economic returns for rabbit breeders. Over the past 20 years, various practices have been developed and refined in the process of raising Saibei rabbits. Based on these experiences, we have compiled some effective strategies to help increase puppy survival rates. These tips are intended to assist farmers and breeders in their daily operations.
First, it's important to adjust the number of offspring per litter. Ideally, a mother rabbit should give birth to 5-6 kits at a time. If the litter exceeds 10, it may be necessary to foster some of the young to other mothers. When fostering, ensure that the birth dates of the kits are within 2-3 days of each other to avoid size differences, which can cause weaker kits to be neglected. A mother rabbit has a strong sense of smell and can detect if the kits are not her own. To improve the chances of successful fostering, place the fostered kits in the nest box with the existing ones for about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, you can rub the mother’s urine or dirt on the new kits to mask their scent. Once the scents match, the mother will accept them as her own. However, the number of kits fostered should not exceed the number of available teats or the mother’s milk supply.
In cases where some kits in the same litter are underdeveloped due to lack of access to a good nipple, they can be trained to nurse individually or fed artificially. The artificial feeding method involves using a 5-10 ml glass syringe or eye dropper, with a bicycle valve core attached to one end to create a feeding tube. Before use, always disinfect the device and clean it thoroughly after each use. When feeding, pay attention to the concentration, temperature, and volume of the milk. If using cow or goat milk, start by diluting it with 1-1.5 times water, then gradually reduce the water over a week. After two weeks, feed full-strength milk. Monitor the puppies' stool condition and adjust the concentration as needed. A small amount of salt can be added to the milk for better nutrition. Keep the milk at 37°C–38°C and feed 1–2 times per day. Hold the kit with your left hand and use your right hand to guide the bottle. Insert the rubber tube into the kit’s mouth and keep the bottle flat so the milk flows evenly. If the kit struggles to suck, gently press the tube to let the milk drip slowly, but avoid applying too much pressure to prevent aspiration.
Second, ensuring timely intake of colostrum is essential. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies, and helps the pups pass meconium. If the mother does not feed her kits within 4–5 hours after giving birth, forced feeding is necessary. Secure the mother on her back, expose her nipples, and gently guide the kits to nurse. Assist with feeding 1–2 times daily. After a few days, the mother should begin nursing naturally. Another method involves placing the mother in the nest box and gently holding her back so the kits can feed underneath her belly, preventing accidental injury or stepping. Both methods have proven effective in practice.
Third, maintaining proper temperature is critical for newborn rabbits. They have no fur and are highly sensitive to environmental changes. In colder seasons, especially in northern regions, it’s important to provide insulation. In southern areas, close windows and doors, use grass curtains, block wind tunnels, or install plastic sheets as wind barriers to raise indoor temperatures. Place dry, soft straw in the nest box or cover with warm rabbit fur to keep the area dry and warm.
If possible, setting up a separate nursery room for the kits is ideal. This allows the mother to nurse on a schedule while keeping the kits safe. A small hole with a flap can be installed between the mother’s area and the nursery, allowing the kits to enter and exit freely. This setup ensures warmth and protection. Additionally, an outdoor cage door can be installed for easy monitoring and checking.
