Long hair rabbit is the main rabbit species for wool production. With the increasing market demand for rabbit hair, various kinds of rabbit hair textile products are emerging in endlessly. So naturally, the area of breeding is getting larger and larger. When we breed Angora rabbits, it is very important to pick wool. There are many places we need to pay attention to. So how to pick wool? What are the precautions? Now let's take a look with Xiaobian!

　　1、剪毛次數

　　1. Shearing times

　　長毛兔的剪毛次數是有一定要求的，正常情況下一只長毛兔一年可剪四次左右。大約是每個季節剪毛一次，我們在剪毛的時候，要根據長毛兔的生長習性來。大約養毛3個月左右，兔毛可達到特級的程度。75天左右為一級，兩個月為二級。長毛兔對溫度的變化是比較敏感的，要保證兔舍冬暖夏涼。因此剪毛的時間一般可以在3、6、9、11月進行，這幾個月進行剪毛的話至少可以獲得一級毛。

　　There are certain requirements for the number of shears for Angora rabbits. Under normal circumstances, a Angora rabbit can cut about four times a year. It's about once a season. When we're shearing, we should according to the growth habits of Angora rabbits. After about 3 months of raising hair, rabbit hair can reach the level of super grade. About 75 days is the first level, and two months is the second level. The long hair rabbit is sensitive to the change of temperature. It is necessary to keep the rabbit house warm in winter and cool in summer. Therefore, the time of shearing can be generally carried out in March, June, September and November. If the shearing is carried out in these months, at least one grade of wool can be obtained.

　　2. Shearing method

　　對長毛兔剪毛的時候更常用的就是用剪刀剪了。剪毛對技術要求也是比較高的，一般有著成熟剪毛技術的飼養人員。大約8分鐘左右便能夠剪一只兔子，在剪毛的時候是有一定順序的。要從長毛兔背部的中線開始剪，然后側面、屁股、脖子、頜下、肚子、四肢剪頭發。剪完毛之后要根據兔毛的長度、亮澤度等分好品質分別裝起來，更好是將毛絲的方向保持一樣。

　　The most commonly used shears are scissors. Shearing is also relatively high technical requirements, generally have mature shearing technology of feeding personnel. About 8 minutes to be able to cut a rabbit, there is a certain order in the shearing. First of all, the hair should be cut from the midline of the rabbit's back, then the side, buttocks, neck, jaw, stomach, limbs, and finally the hair. After shearing, the quality of rabbit hair should be divided according to the length and brightness of rabbit hair. It is better to keep the direction of hair the same.

　　3、注意事項

　　3. Precautions

　　我們在剪毛的時候，剪刀一定要緊貼著長毛兔的皮膚，絕對不能夠將兔毛提起來剪。否則會傷到兔子的皮膚，尤其是一些皮膚不光滑的地方，還要防止剪刀剪破長毛兔的皮膚，導致受傷。然后我們要注意不可二次剪毛，意思就是如果次剪完后留茬比較高的話，那么也不可以再次修剪。避免短毛導致兔毛品質下降，影響第二次兔毛的正常剪毛。

　　When we are shearing, the scissors must be close to the rabbit's skin. We can't lift the rabbit's hair and cut it. Otherwise, it will hurt the rabbit's skin, especially some unsmooth skin, and prevent the scissors from cutting through the long hair rabbit's skin, resulting in injury. Then we should pay attention not to cut twice, which means that if the stubble is high after the first cutting, it can not be trimmed again. To avoid short hair leading to the decline of rabbit hair quality, affecting the second normal shearing of rabbit hair.

　　然后我們要注意控制好剪毛時的環境，要在晴天沒有風的時候進行。如果是在冬季的剪的話，那么在剪完后一定要做好防寒保溫的工作。兔籠內要添加干草，防止溫度過低導致長毛兔感冒。在剪長毛兔肚子上的毛時，要注意防止傷害到乳頭與陰囊，對于快要生產的母兔，可停止胸毛與肚毛的剪毛。然后要將那些患有傳染病的長毛兔進行單獨剪毛工作，剪毛工具也要單獨使用，避免傳播疾病。

　　Then we should pay attention to control the environment when shearing, to be carried out in sunny days when there is no wind. If it is in winter, then after cutting, we must do a good job in cold insulation work. Hay should be added to the rabbit cage to prevent cold caused by low temperature. When cutting the hair on the belly of long hair rabbit, attention should be paid to prevent damage to the nipple and scrotum. For the female rabbit about to give birth, the hair cutting of chest hair and belly hair can be stopped. Then, the long hair rabbits with infectious diseases should be separately sheared, and the shearing tools should also be used separately to avoid spreading diseases.
