"Rabbits may be small in size, but they are full of nutritional value. Their meat is tender, rich in protein, low in fat, and high in phospholipids while containing less cholesterol, making it easy to digest and considered a healthy food option. Rabbit fur has excellent thermal insulation properties and is used as premium wool for spinning, resulting in lightweight, soft, and beautiful textile products. The skin of rabbits is ideal for making various leather goods, and their internal organs serve as key raw materials for producing biological medicines. Additionally, rabbit manure is an efficient Organic Fertilizer. Therefore, the rabbit farming industry holds great potential for development."
**Habits of Rabbits**
1. **Nocturnal Behavior**: Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during the night. They rest during the day and forage extensively at night, consuming about 70% to 75% of their daily food intake during this time. As herbivores, they mainly eat plant parts such as roots, stems, leaves, and seeds. While hay is important, they also need juicy feed and concentrates to maintain good health.
2. **Solitary Nature**: In the wild, rabbits live alone in burrows, coming together only during the breeding season. Male and female rabbits often fight when kept together, leading to injuries or even loss of ears or testicles. For breeding purposes, males and females should be housed separately after four months of age. Non-breeding rabbits can be raised for meat by grazing.
3. **Sensitivity to Temperature**: Rabbits have no sweat glands and rely on breathing to cool down. They are sensitive to heat and prefer temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 35°C and high humidity can lead to illness.
4. **Timid and Easily Startled**: Rabbits have poor eyesight but excellent hearing. Sudden noises or disturbances can cause panic, leading to loss of appetite, miscarriage, refusal to nurse, or even cannibalism of young. A calm and quiet environment is essential for their well-being.
5. **Active and Hygienic**: Rabbits enjoy movement and require spacious cages with good ventilation. Males should be allowed out of their cages for 1-2 hours daily to stimulate mating behavior and prevent overbreeding. They are naturally clean animals, often washing their faces with their paws. If they become dirty around the mouth, nose, or anus, it may indicate illness.
6. **Dental Habits**: Rabbits have continuously growing incisors that wear down through chewing. Feeding them too much soft food can cause teeth to grow too long, affecting eating and causing discomfort. This is why a balanced diet is crucial.
7. **Frequent Eating and Coprophagy**: Rabbits eat frequently, up to 30–40 times a day, and their feeding pattern changes with age. They also practice coprophagy, eating soft feces at night. These soft pellets contain higher levels of protein and B vitamins, which help meet their nutritional needs. Healthy rabbits will consume these feces, but sick ones may stop doing so. This unique behavior ensures they absorb essential nutrients efficiently.
Organic Fertilizer
1. Organic fertilizers are fertilizers that are naturally produced.
[1] Fertilizers are materials that can be added to soil or plants, in order to provide nutrients and sustain growth. Typical organic fertilizers include all animal waste including meat processing waste, manure, slurry, and guano; plus plant based fertilizers such as compost; and biosolids.
[2] Inorganic "organic fertilizers" include minerals and ash. Organic refers to the Principles of Organic Agriculture, which determines whether a fertilizer can be used for commercial organic agriculture, not whether the fertilizer consists of organic compounds.
2. Farming application：
[1] Plant:Processed organic fertilizers include compost, liquid plant manures, humic acid, grain meal, amino acids, and seaweed extracts. Other examples are natural enzyme-digested proteins. Decomposing crop residue (green manure) from prior years is another source of fertility.
[2] Compost provides little in the means of nutrients to plants, but it does provide soil stability through increasing organic matter. Compost does help microorganisms proliferate which in turn breaks down decaying plant material into substantial bio-available nutrients for plant to easily assimilate. Compost does not need to be fully plant-based: it is often made with a mix of carbon-rich plant waste and nitrogen-rich animal waste including human excreta as a means to remove pathogens and odor from the latter.
[3] Grain meals can be made of corn gluten, alfalfa, cottonseed, or soybean. Most supply nitrogen and potassium, but soybean meal provides nitrogen and phosphorus.When initially spread they can cause an increase in ammonia within the soil and burn seeds, it is recommended to use these after plants have developed, to ensure crop success.
[4] Other ARS studies have found that algae used to capture nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from agricultural fields can not only prevent water contamination of these nutrients, but also can be used as an organic fertilizer. ARS scientists originally developed the "algal turf scrubber" to reduce nutrient runoff and increase quality of water flowing into streams, rivers, and lakes. They found that this nutrient-rich algae, once dried, can be applied to cucumber and corn seedlings and result in growth comparable to that seen using synthetic fertilizers
[5] Ash produced by plant combustion is also an important K fertilizer.
