What beginning rabbit breeders are necessary to know about Giants To the Giants, except Flemish Giant, Grey and White Giant, French ram, Spanish Giant are related. All these breeds result from Flemish Giant - one of the oldest breeds of rabbit. Flemish Giants were shown out more than 400 years back in Europe. Since practically in every country, where engage in the selection of rabbit for an industrial production, were shown out on the basis of Flemish Giants breeds which are better adjusted to the local terms. Some countries continue to conduct of pure breed breeding of Flemish Giants. And many beginning rabbit breeders dream to purchase this legendary breed exactly, forgetting here it is worse adjusted to our climatic terms. As compared to a Grey Giant the economic value of Flemish Giant much below.
All rabbit of giants are united by large living mass of these animals (6-8 kg, and separate individuals arrive at 10кг). But such large mass of adult rabbit is arrived at not only due to high additional weights but also to greater duration of height. Giants grow longer. If the doe-rabbit of breed medium-sized can breed in age about 4 months, then female from giants not before five-month age.

How to choose a doe-rabbit for reproduction Rabbit - one of the most precocious types of animals, they differ in high fecundity. The impregnation of doe-rabbit can be produced at any time year. Puberty comes in age 3-3,5 month, but couple them up it is so early impossible, because an organism is not formed.
An exterior of doe-rabbit which is taken away for a reproduction must be especially womanlike. A head, typical for a breed on a size and form, must be more easy and extended. For some breeds the presence of skin fold is assumed in area of neck, but it must not be strongly developed. A correct build plugs in itself an even wide and long back, wide croup with a well-developed musculature. A pelvis must be wide and deep, it provides normal kindlings.
Wicked doe-rabbit complicates life to the rabbit breeder at maintenance of nest. Therefore they also are not taken away for reproduction. At cleaning up of cages or examination of small rabbit such female bites and scratches. From a wicked doe-rabbit, probably, it will not turn out to the good mother and a brood can perish.

Make correct choice among different breeds of rabbits It seems a rabbit breeder can choose any breed of rabbit for breeding.

It means that the choice of breed determines quality of apartments first of all, climatic terms, feed base, and after the personal preferences are.
If all conduct a grey giant around, and you dream about Californian, it is necessary yet prettily to think. They stopped for a grey giant because there are economic pre-conditions to it. Choosing a breed which is not present for other rabbit breeders, you complicate on your own the task of repair of herd. It does not mean that a place is not present to the experiments, it is simply necessary more attentively to study the competitiveness of new breed.
A rabbit breeder which conducts rare unpopular breeds uses large respect for the colleagues. He does important business - saves genetic material which after a while can appear priceless for scientific and practical researches.

Capabilities of breeding early developed rabbits Method of the early development breeding by Mihailov rendered enormous influence on development of industry. This method so differ from the usual standards of the ordinary rabbit breeding, that st can be considered revolutionary.
Traditionally animal is contained in cages in a shed or in a court. Regular inoculations badly protect rabbit from epidemics. Illnesses which kill all herd happen from time to time. Reason of it is necessary to be searched in the great number of factors. There are broken ecology, bad terms of maintenance, falling short of feeding, stresses provoke mass cases, losses and disappointments. As a result a proprietor gets a few kilograms of meat and cheap hides. The rabbit breeding from industry of stock-raising grew into an expensive hobby.
Mihailov’s method of rabbits breeding can change a situation. A scientist drew conclusion on the basis of physiological and biological researches, that a rabbit, not poisoning itself the wastes and recipient milk of mother to three months age which gets enough forage and heats also, grew quicker, propagates oneself more productive without inoculations and medications. Quality of meat and fur of such rabbit... |

Breed of rabbits Soviet Chinchilla A Soviet Chinchilla was shown out in Soviet Union in the middle of the last century at the Research institute of the fur breeding of animals for fur and rabbit breeding, at animal-breeding sovkhozes of the Saratov and Novosibirsk. For basis rabbit breeders took the rabbit of breed Chinchilla, which was shown out in 1910 in France and got the name from likeness with a chinchilla - shallow rodent with bluish-silvery fur from South America. Rabbits of breed a Chinchilla were usual crossed with white giants. Further the increases of living mass, precocity, the best adjusted to the climatic terms tried to get the method of selection. The reproductive crossing enabled to increase the productivity of Chinchilla. In 1963 a breed was finally confirmed.
Soviet Chinchilla is fine adjusted to the forage and climatic terms of different regions of our country. Among the typical for a Soviet Chinchilla signs of exterior there are: a small head, straight not short ears, extended compact trunk, strong skeleton, broad and deep chest, wide rounded croup, strong feet.

reproducing abandoned animals possessing clean dove-colored-blue fur. At that
time
they
weighed 3,5-4 kg,
differed in good meat, for slaughter output and precocity.
For us
the Viennese blue was exposed to breeding work by sent to the improvement of
quality of fur, to adaptability to the forage and climatic terms of middle
stripe.
A size
and form of build the rabbit of this breed inherited mainly from Flemish Giants:
a dense, compact, slightly extended trunk (thus more hammered together, than at
Flemish Giants) arrives at a 57
cm, strong skeleton, wide back, direct, wide ears of

Everybody understands the aims of selection in its own way, has different terms
of breeding, different economic tasks, if to pay attention to expressed of the
desired signs.
On an
economic result more than all such signs as living mass and number of small
rabbit at weaning, speed of growth, survivability before and after weaning,
regularity of kindling, payment of feed an increase.
For all
breeds of rabbits the rounded muscular croup is desirable. It is known that an
awkward croup with salient bones will be passed to posterity; therefore bucks
and does with such vice are impossible to admit to reproducing.
In a herd
it is important to take into account milkness of doe-rabbit. The milkness is... |
