Economic and practical cave rabbit breeding method

Rabbits raised in caves are kept according to the natural habits and biological characteristics of wild rabbits, simulating their living conditions. This method not only mimics the environment of wild rabbits but also simplifies the process of raising them. By using caves, families can significantly reduce costs associated with building rabbit houses, cages, and climate control systems. This is a practical and effective way for rural households to boost their income. This article introduces the technique of raising rabbits in caves. I. Digging Caves Choose slopes that are about 45 degrees from roads and residential areas, ensuring convenient transportation, sufficient water supply, good drainage, and a sunny southern exposure. For hilly land with a horizontal slope of 1.5–2 meters and a flat width of 2 meters, create a feeding and management area by covering 1.5 meters in width and 2 meters in height on the slope surface. You can leave part of the space open or cover it with a simple roof to protect against wind and rain, while also paying attention to insulation during colder months. Dig a hole 30 cm from the ground, with a cave width of 45–50 cm, height of 30 cm, and depth of 60 cm. At the entrance, build a brick structure with a small opening in the center for the female rabbit to move in and out. Place a row of rabbit cages inside, with a mouth width of 35–40 cm, allowing rabbits to feed and move around outside the cave. This creates an integrated indoor-outdoor setup, with a high ceiling and a flat bottom. A bamboo gate should be installed at the entrance, matching the height of the cave mouth. Rabbits rest and give birth in these caves, which help protect them from the cold. Since caves stay warm in winter and cool in summer, they are ideal for rabbit growth and prevent heatstroke. After weaning, young rabbits should be moved to breeding caves. The layout of the cave may vary depending on the slope’s height. Two-story or three-story caves can be dug alternately in a "goods" shape to form staggered groups, making it easier for waste to fall from upper layers. To prevent water seepage, dig a drainage ditch parallel to the slope surface at a distance of 1.5–2 meters from the slope. II. Breeding and Management Female rabbits typically give birth 30 days after mating. One or two days before farrowing, they will start to gather soft grass and make nests. At this time, place soft hay or cotton in the enclosure to encourage the female to enter the cave for birthing. Prepare clean, warm salted boiled water or glucose water in advance, and add some juicy feeds to meet the hydration needs of postpartum females. Avoid situations where the mother cannot find water and returns to the cave to drink, potentially harming the newborns. Because earthen caves provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer, rabbits can breed 4–5 times a year. The best breeding season is from mid-September to the end of March. Breeding during hot summer months should be avoided. After weaning, separate male and female offspring and move them to breeding caves. Group the rabbits to prevent fighting and reduce losses. Once the group is stable, transfer them to regular feeding. During feeding, ensure the cave remains clean by removing leftover feed, grass, and feces. Keep the cave dry, clean, and well-ventilated. III. Disease Prevention Caves have natural temperature regulation, so rabbits rarely get sick. However, prevention is still crucial. Rabbits should be vaccinated every autumn, winter, and early spring. At 25–30 days old, administer 1 ml of attenuated rabbit vaccine. Immunity develops within 5–7 days, lasting about 6 months. In early spring, coccidiosis is common; treat with Chlorpheniramine at 150 mg per kg of concentrate, starting from day 30 and continuing for 45 days. Sulfamethazine can be added to feed at 1% concentration or 2 grams per liter of water for 2 days. Chopped onions, garlic, and leeks can also be mixed into feed to prevent coccidiosis. During the rainy season, include dandelion, Malan head, Viola divaricata, Artemisia annua, plantain, Houttuynia cordata, and iron leeks in the diet for their anti-inflammatory, damp-reducing, and detoxifying properties. Rickets is a common disease that affects growth and has a mortality rate of 10–20%. Quarantine new rabbits carefully, inspect them regularly, and isolate any sick ones for treatment or removal. All rabbits should be washed with a 2% trichlorfon solution, and insect sprays should be used in cages and activity areas. Keep the environment dry, clean, and well-ventilated. Disinfect contaminated areas with 30% wood ash solution, 20% lime water, or 3–5% kolin. Maintain clean skin and proper feeding practices to eliminate infection sources and transmission routes.

Disposable Laparoscopic Trocar

Disposable laparoscopic trocars are typically made of plastic or metal and are designed for single-use only. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs and surgical procedures. The trocar is typically inserted into the patient's abdomen using a technique called "blind insertion," which involves inserting the trocar through the skin without direct visualization of the underlying tissue.

The disposable nature of these trocars makes them a convenient and cost-effective option for many surgical procedures. They are also less likely to cause infections or other complications compared to reusable trocars, as they are sterile and do not require cleaning or sterilization between uses. However, it is important to follow proper disposal procedures to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety.

Disposable trocars are designed for single use, reducing the risk of infection and cross-contamination between patients. Trocars are usually made of plastic and come in a variety of sizes, depending on the size of the incision and the surgical instruments used.
