Feeding female rabbit parsley can increase milk
In rabbits that are regularly fed pelleted feed, female rabbits often experience insufficient milk production after giving birth, especially those that have multiple litters. The more litters a rabbit has, the lower her milk supply tends to be. This lack of milk can lead to high mortality rates among the kits during the nursing period, which significantly impacts the overall survival rate and, consequently, the economic returns for rabbit breeders.
According to relevant studies, it's essential to provide lactating does with fresh green forage to ensure adequate milk production. Vegetables like carrots and celery are commonly recommended, but in practice, they often don't work as well as expected. Many females kept in indoor cages refuse to eat carrots, while celery sticks tend to fall into the trays, leading to wastage.
To address this issue, some breeders have started using parsley as an alternative. By feeding each female or postpartum doe a small portion of root parsley (cleaned of dirt and moisture) daily until the kits are weaned, they have seen a noticeable improvement in milk production. After several years of trials and widespread adoption, this method has proven to be effective in increasing prolactin levels, thereby enhancing milk supply and improving kit survival rates. This approach not only helps maintain better health in the does but also contributes to more successful breeding outcomes.
