Rabbitry Information


Vanodine uses in Rabbitry--
V.18 and FAM inactivate all types of organisms. Bacteria, fungus and viruses!
Snuffles / Bordatella / Pasturella Control

  Disinfection is essential in the rabbitry! Seasonal changes, extreme
heat and humidity can cause an increase in rabbit 'colds' and
'snuffles' caused by pasturella, bordatella and other pathogens which live  naturally in and around rabbits. Anyone who raises rabbits knows these can   be devastating to a rabbitry within a matter of hours. Vanodine is used in prevention and to control spread of many pathogens. During regular cleaning of pans and cages - spray all cages, crocks and  equipment easily and quickly.


 Rabbit supplement
Calf-Manna is a proven concentrated supplement for several species
 of animals that, when added to ordinary daily rations, makes a
 big difference in overall performance. Calf-Manna is fed to
 everything from growing and performance horses, to cattle,
 rabbits, goats, poultry and swine.
  First introduced in the 1930s, Calf-Manna still ranks at the top
 of its class today. This innovative product was the first pelleted
 concentrate. Made from the finest ingredients, it's highly
 palatable, highly digestible, and an outstanding protein and energy
 supplement. At Manna Pro, we know what quality ingredients and
 consistent formulation can do!
  Besides being an excellent source of protein and energy,
 Calf-Manna's palatability has made it the preferred product
 by successful breeders, trainers, and producers for keeping
 their animals on feed-a major concern during times of stress.

Some Rabbit Diseases

  Coccidiosis This is a protozoal parasitic infection from the
 intestinal tract of animals. The species of coccidia found in rabbits
 are species specific and should not infect humans. In young
 rabbits this causes diarrhoea and sudden death.

Viral hemorrhagic disease of rabbits (VHD) is a peracute viral
disease of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) causing hepatic,
intestinal, and lymphoid necrosis and massive terminal
intravascular coagulation.

Myxomatosis is a viral infection of rabbits, caused by a
member of the Poxvirus family. It is usually transmitted
by insects and is usually fatal.

Snuffles is one of the most common diseases that strikes domestic
 rabbits. Almost every rabbit breeder or long-term rabbit owner
 has dealt with or is at least familiar with this devastating
 respiratory disease. This disease is very contagious and can
 also affect the eyes, ears, and other organs. If detected early,
 it can be treated, but it can become chronic or fatal if left
 untreated.

Sore hocks or pododermatitis is a pressure-related condition
 in which the “soles” (weight-bearing undersides) of rabbits’
 feet become raw and inflamed, and in particularly severe
 cases, ulcerated.

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), also known as rabbit
calicivirus (RCV), is the type species of the genus Lagovirus
belonging to Caliciviridae family. RHDV is an important
pathogen that causes a highly contagious disease in wild
and domestic rabbits, rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD).
The virus infects only rabbits.
