Depilation can affect the skin of rabbits, improve blood circulation, increase the growth speed of forward hair, add the content of coarse hair and the quality of forward hair. So how to pluck the long hair rabbit? How to increase the wool production of Angora rabbits?

　　1、拔毛方法  拔毛前应先用梳子整理兔毛，如有缠结毛，须先做整理。右手拇指、中指、食指配合好，按兔毛成长的方向，一小撮一小撮均匀地悄悄拔下。拔时动作不宜过急，一次拔取数量不宜过多，切不可强拔和逆向拔毛，以防拔伤兔皮。

　　1. Before depilation, the rabbit hair should be treated with a comb. If there is tangled hair, it must be done first. The thumb, middle finger and index finger of the right hand should be well matched. According to the growth direction of rabbit hair, a small part of it should be pulled out quietly and evenly. The pulling action should not be too fast, the number of pulling should not be too much, and it should not be forced or reversed to pull the hair, so as to prevent the rabbit skin from being pulled out.

　　拔毛时刻  夏日宜在阴雨天进行，若晴在应选择清晨和夜间拔毛。冬天应在温暖的阳光下或在光线足够的室内拔毛。

　　Plucking time in summer should be carried out in rainy days, if sunny should choose morning and night plucking. In winter, the hair should be plucked in the warm sunshine or in the room with enough light.

　　分类拔毛：长毛兔必须到3月龄方可拔毛，拔毛前10天应加强养分，多喂些蛋白含量高的精饲料，以增加毛的油润程度。强壮的成年兔，每月拔一次，拔长留短。孕兔可在分娩前7天，或产后10天进行拔毛，哺乳母兔不能采拔腹部的毛。

　　Classification depilation: long hair rabbits must be 3 months old before depilation. Nutrition should be strengthened 10 days before depilation. Concentrate with high protein content should be fed to increase the greasy degree of wool. Strong adult rabbits, pull once a month, pull long and leave short. Pregnant rabbits can be depilated 7 days before delivery or 10 days after delivery, while lactating female rabbits can't pluck their abdominal hair.
      

　　2、做到“三个不拔”  一是幼兔、怀孕期、哺乳期母兔及配种期公兔不拔。因为幼兔皮肤嫩，拔毛易撕破皮肤；怀孕母兔拔毛易引起流产；哺乳母兔拔毛会下降泌乳量；配种期公兔拔毛会影响性欲和精液的质量，下降母兔受胎率；二是酷热气候正午不拔；第三是严寒季节选用拔长留短，区分两次拔毛，以利御寒。

　　2. To achieve the "three do not pull out", one is young rabbit, pregnant, lactation period of female rabbit and mating period of male rabbit. Because the skin of young rabbits is tender, depilation is easy to tear the skin; the depilation of pregnant female rabbits is easy to cause abortion; the depilation of lactating female rabbits will reduce the milk production; the male rabbits in mating period will affect the quality of sexual desire and semen, and reduce the conception rate of female rabbits; the second is that the hot weather does not pull out at noon; the third is the selection of long and short plucking in severe cold season to distinguish two times of depilation, so as to keep out the cold.

　　3、及时处理创伤  一旦撕破皮肤，应及时用2％碘酊或紫药水等涂改创伤，以防细菌感染。

　　3. Once the skin is torn, 2% iodine tincture or purple liquid should be used to alter the wound to prevent bacterial infection.

　　4、适当加强养分  拔毛后，兔毛成长需求耗费很多的养分。因而，拔毛前后要增加富含蛋白质的饲料以及矿物质，以增强兔体质，促进兔毛成长，削减因拔毛引起的应激反应。

　　4. The growth of rabbit hair needs a lot of nutrients after properly enhancing nutrients. Therefore, protein rich feed and minerals should be added before and after depilation in order to enhance the rabbit's physique, promote the growth of rabbit's hair and reduce the stress reaction caused by depilation.

　　5、严寒季节保暖  冰冷季节拔毛后应做好保暖防寒作业。笼舍内应铺垫软而洁净的垫草，室外兔应在笼门等透风处盖上麻袋等物品避风保暖。

　　5. Keep warm in cold season, keep warm and prevent cold after plucking hair in cold season. The cage should be padded with soft and clean bedding grass, and outdoor rabbits should be covered with sacks and other articles in the cage door to keep warm.

　　6、夏日防蚊虫吸食  夏日蚊子多，长毛兔拔毛后，皮肤暴露，易受蚊子吸食，轻者引起皮肤瘙痒，影响兔休息和成长，重者感染细菌而发病。故夏日拔毛后兔尽量关养在能防蚊蝇的笼舍内，或采纳驱蚊措施，保证兔的健康和兔毛成长。

　　6. There are many mosquitoes in summer. After depilation, the skin of Angora rabbit is exposed and easy to be ingested by mosquitoes. In mild cases, it may cause skin itching, which will affect the rest and growth of rabbits. In severe cases, the disease will be caused by bacteria. Therefore, after depilation in summer, rabbits should be kept in cages that can prevent mosquitoes and flies, or adopt mosquito repellent measures to ensure the health of rabbits and the growth of rabbit hair.

　　7、留意环境卫生  长毛兔拔毛后，兔体抵抗力下降，如不做好笼舍的清洁作业，病菌极易侵入兔体而致兔发病，甚死亡。垫草应常常更换，保持清洁卫生和干燥，笼舍应定时。拔毛人员拔毛前要用肥皂水，并做好其他用具的清洁作业。

　　7. Pay attention to environmental hygiene. After depilation, the resistance of rabbit body decreases. If the cage is not cleaned properly, the bacteria can easily invade the rabbit body and cause the disease and even death. Bedding grass should be replaced frequently, keep clean and dry, cage should be disinfected regularly. Before depilation, the depilator should disinfect with soapy water, and clean and disinfect other appliances.
