In rabbit husbandry, what is a primary target for preventing Coccidiosis?

Minimizing wet conditions is crucial in preventing Coccidiosis in rabbits because this parasitic disease thrives in moist environments. Coccidia, the causative agent of Coccidiosis, can proliferate in damp bedding or housing, leading to higher infection rates among the rabbits. By ensuring that living areas are kept dry and clean, the likelihood of coccidial oocysts surviving and infecting the rabbits is significantly reduced. This approach is vital for maintaining a healthy environment and ensuring that rabbits are less susceptible to diseases such as Coccidiosis. Keeping the habitat dry also contributes to overall welfare, reducing stress and promoting better health outcomes for the animals.
