种兔引进全流程管理：从引种前准备到隔离期结束

Breeding rabbit introduction is a key step for farm expansion or bloodline renewal, but it is also the highest risk point for disease introduction. Scientific introduction procedures can reduce disease introduction risk by over 90%, serving as the first biosecurity barrier for rabbit farms.

Pre-introduction preparation: thoroughly clean and disinfect the isolation house twice 7-10 days in advance (first spray with 2% sodium hydroxide solution, then fumigate with peracetic acid 24 hours later). Prepare dedicated feeding tools and epidemic prevention supplies. Isolation house should be no less than 50 meters from production areas. Develop detailed isolation feeding management and disease monitoring plans.

Breeding rabbit selection criteria: choose certified breeding rabbit farms with valid production and operation permits. Review three-generation pedigree records; select families with stable reproductive performance and fast growth rates. Individual requirements: robust physique, bright alert eyes, smooth coat, no ectoparasites. Bucks should have normally developed and symmetrical testicles.

Transport management essentials: use specialized rabbit transport cages, 1-2 per cage to avoid crushing. Transport in early morning or at night in summer; ensure insulation in winter. Stop feeding 2 hours before transport but ensure water availability. For long-distance transport (over 4 hours), replenish with electrolyte and multivitamin water en route. Upon arrival, let rabbits rest 2-3 hours before offering small amounts of feed.

Quarantine management standards: quarantine period no less than 30 days. Observe feed intake, drinking, and fecal condition daily; immediately isolate and test any abnormalities. Collect serum samples on days 7 and 21 for RHD antibody and Pasteurella testing. Only integrate into production herds after confirming health at quarantine completion.
