In order to enhance the wool production and improve the quality of rabbit hair, several effective methods have been developed through careful research and practical application. These techniques are designed to support the health and growth of long-haired rabbits, ensuring they produce more and better-quality wool.
1. Each rabbit requires a specific daily diet that includes 0.5 grams of sulfur, 1 gram of silkworm sand, 1 gram of earthworm, and 0.1 grams of trace elements. After mixing and mashing these ingredients, they can be incorporated into the regular feed. This preparation is typically done 7–10 days in advance to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.
2. Two to three days after shearing, each rabbit should receive an intramuscular injection of 250 mg of vitamin B12 daily for 2–3 days. Alternatively, multivitamin B tablets (containing 3 mg of B1, 1.5 mg of B2, 0.2 mg of B6, 2 mg of racemic calcium pantothenate) can be administered at a dose of 1/4 tablet per day. Additionally, feeding 0.6–1.2 ml of cod liver oil per rabbit helps shorten the growth cycle, allowing for shearing up to 10 days earlier. This method increases wool production by approximately 25 grams per rabbit.
3. After shearing, applying a mixture of 50 grams of shochu with a bit of ginger juice to the rabbit's body can help stimulate blood circulation. Using cotton-pig to spread the solution on the rabbit’s skin once daily for 2–3 days can lead to faster hair regrowth. Rabbits can then be used again after 3–4 days. For short-haired breeds, this process allows shearing 5–7 days earlier, increasing wool yield by about 30%.
4. Feeding 7 grams of lotus root powder daily to each female rabbit has been shown to increase wool production by 10% and boost the quantity of high-quality hair by 17%.
5. After shearing, feeding rabbits small amounts of leek (5 grams per day) and soaked soybeans (7–8 grains) can enhance hair growth and shine, speed up the regrowth process, and reduce the time between harvests by 7 days.
6. The medicine bath method involves preparing two different solutions. The first solution includes 150–200 grams of enemy white insect powder in 50 liters of water, plus 150 grams of sulfur powder. The second solution consists of 100 grams of earthworm skin, 100 grams of Sophora, and 2.5 kg of water. After frying and filtering, 100 grams of sulfur powder is added to 5 liters of boiling water. During the bath, the rabbit’s ears are placed in the tub while the body is scrubbed from bottom to top, followed by the head and ears. This treatment should be performed within 10 days of shearing on warm days, avoiding stressful conditions. It enhances wool production by over 20% and helps prevent warts and other diseases.
7. Eggs are rich in sulfur-containing amino acids like cystine, which significantly promote hair growth. Feeding one egg per 5–10 rabbits daily encourages longer and healthier hair growth.
8. Male rabbits that experience a decline in male hormones become calmer, grow larger, and their hair grows faster. In such cases, the volume of long hair can exceed twice the potential, with improved hair quality.
9. Combing the rabbit’s fur every 3 days stimulates blood circulation and activates hair follicles, promoting faster hair growth and improving hair quality.
10. Injecting 50 mg of vitamin B2 into the buttocks after shearing can significantly enhance hair growth, often leading to earlier shearing by about 10 days.
11. Adding 0.5–0.7% thiamine to the diet increases wool production by 12–27%. When combined with trace elements such as 2–4 mg of copper, 20 mg of iron, 16 mg of manganese, 2 mg of cobalt, and 8–15 mg of zinc per kilogram of feed, the quality of the hair improves significantly.
12. Incorporating methionine and various trace elements into the diet boosts wool production by 19.85%, weight gain by 19.74%, hair strength by 12.07%, hair length by 13.71%, and density by 9.31%.
13. Providing 50 mg of lysine and 25 mg of methionine and cystine daily to each rabbit promotes earlier shearing and increases wool production by 12.8%.
14. Administering thyroxine in stages—starting with 10 mg per day for 7 days, then 20 mg for 14 days, 30 mg for 24 days, 40 mg for 10 days, 30 mg for 11 days, 20 mg for 10 days, and 10 mg for 8 days—can increase wool production by 15.38%.
15. Feeding 10 mg of a 0.1% chromium sulfate mixture (including sulfur, iron, and arsenic) to each rabbit for a month increases wool production by 19 grams compared to the control group. Adding 0.4 mg of manganese sulfate, 0.15 mg of zinc chloride, and 0.1 mg of cobalt chloride per kilogram of body weight daily can increase wool production by 11.3% and hair growth by 6.8%.
16. Mixing 0.3 g of zinc sulfate, 0.4 g of copper sulfate, 0.07 g of cobalt chloride, and 100 g of mixed concentrate results in a daily feed of 1 g per rabbit, along with 2–3 eggs. This combination leads to a significant increase in wool production.
17. Adding 0.03–0.05% rare earth elements to the diet increases wool production by 8.5–9.4% and raises the proportion of high-quality hair by 43.44–51.45%.
