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、剪毛次数

　　1. Shearing times

　　长毛兔的剪毛次数是有一定要求的，正常情况下一只长毛兔一年可剪四次左右。大约是每个季节剪毛一次，我们在剪毛的时候，要根据长毛兔的生长习性来。大约养毛3个月左右，兔毛可达到特级的程度。75天左右为一级，两个月为二级。长毛兔对温度的变化是比较敏感的，要保证兔舍冬暖夏凉。因此剪毛的时间一般可以在3、6、9、11月进行，这几个月进行剪毛的话少可以获得一级毛。

　　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

　　对长毛兔剪毛的时候更常用的就是用剪刀剪了。剪毛对技术要求也是比较高的，一般有着成熟剪毛技术的饲养人员。大约8分钟左右便能够剪一只兔子，在剪毛的时候是有一定顺序的。要从长毛兔背部的中线开始剪，然后侧面、屁股、脖子、颌下、肚子、四肢剪头发。剪完毛之后要根据兔毛的长度、亮泽度等分好品质分别装起来，更好是将毛丝的方向保持一样。

　　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、注意事项

　　3. Precautions

　　我们在剪毛的时候，剪刀一定要紧贴着长毛兔的皮肤，不能够将兔毛提起来剪。否则会伤到兔子的皮肤，尤其是一些皮肤不光滑的地方，还要防止剪刀剪破长毛兔的皮肤，导致受伤。然后我们要注意不可二次剪毛，意思就是如果次剪完后留茬比较高的话，那么也不可以再次修剪。避免短毛导致兔毛品质下降，影响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.

　　然后我们要注意控制好剪毛时的环境，要在晴天没有风的时候进行。如果是在冬季的剪的话，那么在剪完后一定要做好防寒保温的工作。兔笼内要添加干草，防止温度过低导致长毛兔感冒。在剪长毛兔肚子上的毛时，要注意防止伤害到乳头与阴囊，对于快要生产的母兔，可停止胸毛与肚毛的剪毛。然后要将那些患有传染病的长毛兔进行单独剪毛工作，剪毛工具也要单独使用，避免传播疾病。

　　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.
