1. Rabbit cage: The author believes that rabbit cages produced in Xi’an are relatively scientific both in terms of structure and use.
(1) Rabbit cage structure The rabbit cage is generally composed of a cage wall, a cage top, a cage door, a cage bottom plate, and a draught-proof board. Most of them are made of cement boards and bricks, and a few of them are made into movable type. It is most practical to put three layers above and below the rabbit cage. The total height of a typical multi-layer rabbit cage cannot exceed 2 meters, otherwise it is not easy for the breeder to operate. The requirements for all parts of the cage are:
1 cage wall: cage made of cement board, the cage wall requires a smooth surface, does not absorb moisture, no water, if it is a wire cage should be no burr.
2 Cage top: It requires heat and cold protection. Fixed cage can be made of cement board. The cage of wire cages is generally doubled as a shroud plate and requires complete coverage. Each floor cannot leak water, especially the joint between cage and cage.
3 cage bottom plate: It is a key part of the rabbit cage. It plays a crucial role in whether the rabbit's living environment is sanitary and the rabbit's health. The best cage bottom plate is the front plate back leak seam type, that is, the first 2/3 of the bottom plate of the cage is a colloidal wood board, and the rear 1/3 is a leaked bamboo plate. The advantage of this cage is that it can effectively prevent the occurrence of foot dermatitis and effectively control the health of the cage. Because rabbits have the habit of defecation, if the front does not leak feces, rabbits will change the defecation site. If the rabbit is still defecating in front of the house, you can use bricks in front of you for a few days. After the rabbit has developed the habit of defecation in the back, remove the bricks. This cage bottom also reduces feed and forage waste. Because rabbits can't eat a bite while eating, they often drop the rest of their mouths from the mouth. If this part of the leftovers or forages fall into the dung stack of the dung mat, it will cause waste.
4 Slough Board: Slurry plate is generally installed below the bottom of the cage, mainly to take up excreta. There are two kinds of plane and cement tile. When installed, the slope is formed by the front direction of the rabbit cage so that the feces and urine flows down and flows into the manure-urine drain.
The requirements for the shroud plate are that the front, back, and left and right cover must be strict, and there should be no gap between the upper and lower layers. In addition, the front and rear sides are required to protrude 5 to 10 centimeters, and the protruding size is increased from bottom to top. There should be a certain distance between the shroud plate and the bottom plate of the cage. In front of about 12 to 14 cm, back from about 20 to 25 cm for cleaning. The lowest floor may not be equipped with a shroud plate, which can solve the problem of sewage through sloped ground.
5 cage door: The key to setting the cage door is the convenience of opening and closing, tight closing, and easy operation after opening. The height of the cage door should be substantially flush with the height of the cage, with a width of about 30 cm.
(2) Types of rabbit cages Rabbit cages are classified into three types: rabbit cages, young rabbit cages, and fattening cages depending on the use.
A kind of rabbit cage: The type of rabbit cage is larger, the length of the cage should be 70-80 cm, the cage width is 70-75 cm, the cage height is 45-50 cm, and the height is 35-40 cm. The distance between the bottom plate of the cage and the supporting plate is 10 to 13 cm in front and 18 to 23 cm behind.
Kinds of rabbit cages are preferably cement boards or bricks. If they are made of iron wire, the gap should not be more than 2 cm. The rabbits cannot be drilled.
2 young rabbit cages: young rabbits were weaned and vaccinated (back-behind rabbits are to be labeled with ear numbers) and placed in young rabbit cages. Young rabbit cages are generally arranged horizontally with a row of wire cages, each cage being 30 cm long with a gap between the cages. The cage is 40 centimeters wide, 35 centimeters high and 25 centimeters high. A row of sealed food troughs was hung in front of the cage, and young rabbits could stick their heads into the mouth at any time. The opening of the cage door should be very convenient. There is a common grass rack at the interval between the two cages, and 2 duckbill type automatic drinkers are placed behind each cage. It is appropriate to place 3 to 4 young rabbits per cage.
3 Fattening cages (commercial rabbit cages): After the young rabbits have reached 1-5 kg, they must be transferred to the fattening cage in time. The author believes that the fattening cage used in a rabbit farm in Fangshan, Beijing is simple, practical and the best.
This kind of fattening cage is arranged in an overall arrangement and is divided into three rows of upper, middle, and lower rows, arranged in inclined ladders. Each row is 20 cm long and has a cage length of 35 cm and a height of 20 cm. The rabbit is in this narrow cage. In addition to eating, drinking, sleeping outside basically can not just exercise. There is a row of troughs in front of the cage. The rabbit's head can come out from the front hole and eat. The cage is followed by a drinking fountain. The rabbit can thirsty and can turn over to drink water. This kind of rabbit cage is very convenient for opening the cage.
2. Feeder: It is recommended to use plug-in automatic feeders. This kind of feed trough suspends the cage door, when the rabbit feeds, the head extends from the mouth of the cage into the trough, which can effectively prevent the feed and the feed from being contaminated, and can also prevent the pups from drilling out of the mouth.
The feed tank consists of a feed port, a storage bin, an intake tank, and a bulkhead. Feeding outside the cage is very convenient and easy to operate.

(2) Automatic feeding slot for the mother
(3) Triple fattening rabbit automatic feeding trough
3. Drinking fountain: It is recommended to use a pure water bottle to suspend the water supply system connected to the duck bill type drinking fountain. That is, the type of pure water bottle on our home drinking machine is hung upside down above the rabbit cage. A plastic pipe is connected to the bottle mouth to connect with multiple drinking devices, and it is placed behind each rabbit cage.
The greatest advantage of this water supply system is that it can ensure that the drinking water is clean, free from pollution, convenient to drink, and can reduce the labor intensity of the keeper, and whether drinking water is hygienic is very intuitive.
4. The farrowing box: The farrowing box is the main facility for simulating the cave environment artificially and for the breeding and breeding of the female rabbit. The warmth, ventilation, size and shape of the production box, the mat grass in the production box, and the placement position of the production box all have great influence on the survival rate and development of the pups.
It is recommended that you always use sealed or cave boxes.
5. Grass rack: The grass rack is the main tableware for rabbits to feed green feed or roughage. If it is a wire cage, it is recommended that the grass frame be set in the middle and upper part of the middle of the two cages; if it is a fixed-plate rabbit cage, the grass frame can be set on the outside of the cage on the outside of the cage door. In order to prevent forages from falling out through the lateral crevices of the straw frame, the wire outside the straw frame can be encrypted or made of iron or wood.
6. Septic waste separation system: This is a very important part. The advantage of excreta and urine separation is that it can greatly reduce the concentration of ammonia odor in rabbits and reduce the stimulation of rabbits' mucous membranes to control the occurrence of infectious rhinitis and respiratory inflammation.
If it is a family raising a rabbit, one channel can be placed on the upper, middle, and lower layers of the cage, or the plastic feeder trough fed by the chicken, and one plastic bucket can be hung on one side of the high and one low and one low side. The rabbit's urine continuously flows into the barrel and is dumped 2 or 3 times a day.
