Rabbit diseases diagnosis, prevention and control

- Prevention and control of digestive diseases

-Frequent cleaning of rabbit accommodation, feeding, and water containers

-Efficient removal of feces daily (before oocysts become infective)

-Change bedding litter frequently, and keep it dry.

-Control vermin and flies that could serve as mechanical vectors.

-Avoid fecal contamination of food.

-Keep rabbits younger than 4 months old out of contaminated areas.

-Where there is a problem in spite of good husbandry, prophylactic anticoccidials may be needed.

-Because coccidiosis primarily affects young rabbits just after weaning (5- to 6-week-old animals), disease prevention must be initiated before weaning.
