Abstract

In order to determine the challenges faced by rabbit farmers and suitable strategies required to enhanced the survival of rabbit kits, information on constraints and some reproductive problems of rabbit production in Maiduguri Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (M.M.C) and Jere LGAs of Borno state was investigated. Structured questionnaire was administered to 100 respondents in M.M.C and Jere LGAs. It was found that low market value for rabbit, neonatal death and loss from theft or predators were the major constraints observed in rabbit production within the study area. Mortality was high among young rabbits (1-2 weeks old), and the average number of survived rabbit kits was 1 – 5 kits per litter. In addition, seasonal variation, poor management and housing design were the immediate causes of neonatal mortality in rabbit within M.M.C and Jere LGAs of Borno state. Improved housing design, pre-natal nutrition and peri-natal hygiene was therefore recommended.

尼日利亚博尔诺州迈杜古里市议会和杰里地方政府地区兔子生产的制约因素和一些繁殖问题

为了确定养兔户面临的挑战和提高雏兔存活率所需的适宜策略，对博尔诺州迈杜古里市议会(迈杜古里市议会)和Jere LGAs的家兔生产的制约因素和一些繁殖问题进行了调查。采用结构化问卷对100名M.M.C和Jere LGAs受访者进行问卷调查。研究发现，市场价值低、新生儿死亡和盗窃或捕食者的损失是研究区内兔子生产的主要制约因素。幼兔(1 ~ 2周龄)死亡率高，平均每窝成活率为1 ~ 5窝。此外，季节变化、管理不善和房舍设计是博尔诺州mmc和Jere LGAs兔新生儿死亡的直接原因。因此建议改善住房设计、产前营养和围产期卫生。
