Features: To help a broad readership understand the nutritional knowledge of rabbits and learn the technology of ration formulation, this book introduces the digestive physiology, nutritional requirements, and feeding standards of rabbits, common feedstuffs for rabbits, processing and conditioning of feed, and feed formulation design. For the convenience of readers, the book also collects currently used feedstuffs in rabbit farming in China. Based on the principles of orthogonal design, combined with the author's experimental data and practical experience, rational combinations have been made, resulting in the design of 156 rabbit feed formulations, including 60 for growing rabbits, 48 each for pregnant and lactating rabbits. The book is highly targeted, practical, and advanced. In light of the continuous improvement of the quality and management level of rabbit farmers in China, the advancement of modernization in rabbit farming, and the widespread application of computer technology, the book also emphasizes introducing new knowledge, products, and technologies. In the formulation design, in addition to the conventional trial-and-error method and the diagonal method, the principles of computer-based formulation design and specific operations using formulation software are also introduced.
