To support lactation in female rabbits, it's recommended to feed them 50 to 100 grams of fish. Fresh fish is ideal, but if not available, dried fish can be used (preferably unsalted). After boiling the fish in a pot, feed the broth or meat to the mother rabbit. Repeat this process for 3 to 5 consecutive days. The next day after feeding, you may notice the female rabbit rubbing her belly, which is a sign that milk production is increasing.
When the female rabbit starts pulling out her own hair, collect the pulled hair. As she notices the reduction in fur, she will continue to pull more hair from her abdomen, creating a bald patch. This behavior helps expose the nipples and stimulates milk flow. If the first-time mother doesn't do this naturally, you can gently assist by removing some hair to fully expose the nipples. This method has proven effective in encouraging milk production.
After giving birth, offering brown sugar water can help stimulate milk production. Prepare a bowl of warm brown sugar water using boiled water and give it to the lactating rabbit immediately after birth to boost milk yield.
Soaking 20 to 30 soybeans in boiled water and then boiling them before feeding to the rabbit is another effective method. You can also make soymilk by blending the soaked beans, cooling it down, and offering it as a drink. However, ensure the amount of feed remains moderate to avoid overfeeding.
For soybean cakes, crush them and soak in water for 9 to 12 hours. Use the soaking water to give to the female rabbit, and mix the remaining residue into their regular feed. This helps improve milk quality and quantity.
Earthworms are also beneficial. They should be cleaned thoroughly and fed to the rabbits. Alternatively, dried clams can be crushed and given at a rate of 10 to 15 grams per day. Feeding this mixture for four days can increase milk production by up to 1.5 times.
Peanut rice milk can be prepared by soaking 2 to 3 pieces of peanuts in warm water for 1 to 2 hours until fully softened. Then mix the softened peanuts into the rabbit’s feed. Repeat this 2 to 3 times, and the rabbit’s milk production will significantly improve.
If natural methods don’t work, lactation tablets can be used. Feed 2 tablets daily for 3 to 4 days to stimulate milk production in non-lactating females. Always monitor the rabbit’s health and adjust feeding accordingly. These techniques, when used together, can greatly enhance milk production and ensure the well-being of both the mother and her offspring.
