Rabbits have a high moisture content in their diet, with vegetables typically containing around 85% water. They also have low crude fiber and are very palatable, which makes them highly appealing to rabbits. However, feeding young rabbits under 90 days old with vegetable leaves can quickly lead to diarrhea within just a few days. If rabbits show signs of diarrhea after consuming vegetables, it's important to stop feeding them immediately. Instead, provide hay and dried leaves, and consider adding 2% charcoal or medicinal charcoal to the feed mixture to help absorb toxins.
When vegetables are grown using nitrogen fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides, or when they experience droughts, lack of sunlight, or stress, their nitrate levels can increase significantly. Rabbits, being naturally greedy, may consume large amounts of these nitrate-rich leaves, which can irritate the stomach lining and lead to gastroenteritis. After pests, trampling, frost, or during storage and transport—especially in hot and humid conditions—nitrates in the vegetables can convert into more dangerous nitrites. Even as little as 100 grams of such vegetables can cause poisoning, so it's crucial to be cautious when feeding these types of leaves.
Vegetables like mustard, rape, and radishes belong to the cruciferous family and contain a substance called mustard oil. Under the influence of the enzyme present in these plants, this can break down into toxic compounds such as nitriles, which can harm a rabbit’s liver and kidneys. Therefore, it's best to limit the amount of cruciferous vegetables in a rabbit's diet. Additionally, feeding rabbits vegetables that have been damaged by aphids or cabbage worms can lead to various health issues, including conjunctivitis, stomatitis, gastroenteritis, rhinitis, vaginitis, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
When feeding rabbits vegetables properly, it's important to balance the diet. Include low-moisture feeds like bran and high-fiber options like dried leaves. Always offer fresh vegetables without dew to avoid moisture-related digestive problems. A well-balanced diet will support the health and well-being of your rabbits while minimizing the risk of illness.
Amino Acid
Protein is one of the two most important basic components of life. It is a covalent polypeptide chain connected by more than 20 different forms of amino acids. Amino acids are the basic units of proteins. Both humans and animals must use amino acids or proteins as nitrogen sources, but proteins in food must first be broken down into amino acids and then synthesized their own proteins. Therefore, amino acids are the basic unit of proteins and the raw materials for synthesizing human hormones and enzymes, participating in human metabolism and various physiological functions.
