Breeding rabbits - business profitable and does not require very much larger monetary investment initially.In order to achieve good results, however, should know not only about how to properly produced animal feeding and mating.In addition, you need to be aware of how is the slaughter of rabbits.
What you need to know
Many farmers who breed rabbits, delegate this unpleasant case workers specialize in it slaughterhouses.However, there are those who prefer to perform the operation without them.Of course, this way can save some amount.In this case, in the room where the cells of animals, be sure to provide a separate enclosure that is designed specifically for the slaughter of animals.In addition, you need to have an understanding of the timing of the meeting and its order.Of course, these skills will be useful to those who breed these animals in the country.
Dates
slaughtered rabbits shkurkovyh breeds produced exclusively in the autumn or winter, after molting.Of course, taking into consideration the age and animals.Clog youngsters usually aged 7-8 months.Before this can not be done.Skin animal matures it this time.Meat breed rabbits slaughtered at any time of the year.In this case, only age is important.Slaughter is usually done in 3-6 months.In rabbits younger than 3 months of very tasteless meat.And the weight of the animal trade, even large breed, before this time to work up.
Preparations
So, how to face growing rabbit, now you know.Upon reaching the appropriate age of the animals transferred to separate pens or left in an old, but clean waterers and feeders.Rabbits stop giving food for 10-12 hours prior to slaughter.Treat blocked during this period is also not necessary.If the feces scored intestines also can be removed from carcasses at cutting without any problems, the bladder inexperienced breeder they occur necessarily.It is necessary to put pressure on the bag by accident as odorous liquid obolet entire carcass.
procedure slaughter
course, you can take an ax and just chop off the head of an animal, like a chicken, pre-tied legs.However, such a method by most breeders is considered extremely inhumane.The fact is that after cutting off the head of an animal heart still continues to beat for a long time.Blood thus, of course, implies faster, whereby the carcass becomes pleasing to the eye pink.However, the animal being in the mind at the same time experiencing great suffering.Therefore, in many countries, even this method of slaughter is prohibited by law.
much more humane method is considered in which the animal is first "cut off" the nervous system, and only then make the killing and release blood.Most often, the slaughter of rabbits at home as well as in small farms is done so:
- animals are the hind legs and raised above the ground.
- Stick (40 cm), wrapped with rubber from the operating side (you can take a piece of hose), causing the rabbit a sharp blow to the occipital region behind the ears.
If the procedure does not produce too experienced breeder, sometimes it turns out that the first attempt to kill the animal comes out.In this case, you need to immediately apply a second blow.
How to lower blood
After killing the animal care should be taken that the bird had a subsequent presentation, and the meat was delicious.That is necessary to pull the animal blood.After striking the stick she begins to ooze from the nose and ears.To facilitate the draining of one hind paw of the rabbit should be a hall toward the back.It is also a good idea to cut the nasal septum or remove one eye.Sometimes scored another rabbit and cut his throat.Be bled least 5-7 minutes.
Skinned
So, the rabbit is dead.Now that you know how to produce a slaughter.And cutting of rabbit and skinning take place immediately after the killing.Procedure is quite simple.Skins removed as follows:
- carcass is hung on a special raspyalku hind legs so that they were the most apart.
- Next hock muscles near both make a circular incision.The knife should be taken quite massive and very sharp.
- then cut peel from one cut to another on the inside of the paw through the anus.This is the only cut that needs to be done.
- Read the peel downwards (as stocking feet).Perform this procedure must be carefully, trying not to break scrapings.
- rabbit head can be deleted first.But usually removed directly through the skin of her.To do this, make cuts around the eyes, lips, ears and nose.
cutting a whole
Once the skin is removed, proceed to remove the internal organs of the animal.This procedure consists of the following stages:
- cut through the pelvic muscles and separate knife genitals and rectum at the entrance.
- cuts through the center of the abdominal cavity to the diaphragm.
- Remove the gastrointestinal tract and urinary organs of the carcass.
- Pull the liver, careful not to crush the bile.
- Carefully remove the latter.Rabbit liver is an expensive delicacy and really quite tasty.So throw it, of course, is not necessary.Get rid of this body will have only if it has white inclusions (about 5 mm).The latter are a consequence of one of the infectious diseases of rabbits and found in the liver quite often.
- heart and kidneys should be left in the carcass.If
- before removing the skin head was not cut off, the next step is removed it.
French way of killing
slaughtered rabbits for meat and skins to produce and can be done differently.It is often practiced, for example, the so-called "French" method.It is popular mainly in Western Europe.The animal, in this case, taken by the hind legs and head and wait for it to calm down.Then sharply diluted hands apart while wringing the animal's head toward the back and pushing the neck.Death comes at the same instant, and the rabbit is not suffering.
Other ways
In large farms, slaughtering rabbits is sometimes produced by an electric shock.In this case, the temples of the animal puts electrodes.For slaughter sufficient amperage is about 5 A.
Here in Russia, in addition to the above-described method of impact on the neck, often practiced by farmers and several other methods.In this case, not stick hitting the occipital part, and on the nose.Technologically, such an operation may be considered more challenging.It hit with a stick right on the nose a little more difficult than the back of the head.
Besides using bits, there are other mechanical methods of slaughtering rabbits.For example, one of them is the head of the animal by inserting a bracket mounted on the wall.Rabbit should be positioned with the back up.After the head will be under the bracket, the hind legs rises sharply upward.In the rabbit with the broken neck.
on large farms in recent years began to practice and method of slaughter using a pin.So called instrument similar to a syringe in a housing which is movable needle connected with a piston.Pin put to the head of the animal at the intersection of the lines right eye - the left ear and left eye - right ear and presses the plunger.The death of the rabbit comes instantly because of the defeat of the medulla oblongata needle.Not too convenient, this method due to the impossibility of instant drain blood.
Meat
So, so how is the slaughtering of rabbits and cutting of carcasses, we're clear.Now let's see what can be prepared from the meat of the animal.The product is this, incidentally, is very useful to have a core.The fact that rabbit meat absolutely no cholesterol.In this it differs quite some good taste.An important rule in any case can not cook meat freshly killed animal.It must mature for at least 12 hours (and preferably daily).Otherwise, your dish will turn out tasteless.Soaking the carcass to maturity should be in a refrigerator (not freezer).Fresh meat rabbits do not eat.
prepared from the carcass can be anything you want.But most of the rabbits fried, smoked, stewed or baked in the oven.Soup of the meat of this animal comes out not too nourishing.Of course, to get a tasty product, you need to know and the age of slaughter rabbits.Previously three months to carry out this procedure, as already mentioned, can not.Before smoking carcass boil a little bit better in the water.Otherwise, the meat can get tough.
What to do with the skin
dressing skins of rabbits - the event is technically quite difficult and time-consuming.Here's an example of how this procedure:
- with flesh side cleans fat and veins;
- in a special solution is performed Soaking;
- made fleshing skins, ie loosening of the fibrous tissue of the skin;
- material is treated with a solution containing an acid (pickling);
- skins are kept in stacks under the weight of about one day;
- produced tanning and utility bills.
slaughtered rabbits with their hands in the personal and farms practiced quite often.But for tanning skins usually rent or sell to specialize in the operation of the enterprise.In this case, after the slaughter of them definitely need to conserve.To do this, after cleaning the fat, and lived on a special stretch of pravilke drying.Each skin should be thoroughly expanded.Otherwise membrane meet "accordion", and fur in places of folds will come out.Pull the procedure can not be conservation.Otherwise Skinned may rot.
So, how to grow a rabbit face and how to properly carried out this procedure, we are found.The easiest way is to use a stick killing.If you have a large farm, the pin should be used.Use humane methods of slaughter.If you do everything by the rules, the carcass will be pink presentation in this case.
