Invention of Milking Device and Milking Method in Rabbit

Abstract
|
|
|
We have designed a device and method for milking a rabbit without pain, which can be adjusted to fit the nipple of a rabbit, and milk a large volume of milk during a short period.
To milk a rabbit(New Zealand White), the mother was separated from her litters immediately after delivery and oxytocin(6 IU/㎏,)was injected to stimulate the milk letdown. The milk was suctioned into a bottle by 400mmHG of continuous vacuum pressure for thirty minutes. Using this milking device, we collected a volume of milk ranging from 15 to 140 ㎖ with a mean of 44.3 ㎖ during 30 minutes of the milking period per rabbit.
