Rabbit breeding from the very beginning of its development was replenished with new ideas and methods for improving the performance of the industry.
One of such methods was proposed by a cattle breeder from St. Petersburg I. Mikhailov, and we'll talk about it today.
Who are the rabbits accelerates
Accelerates are not a separate breed of fur-bearing animals - they are individuals who, as a result of long years of selection, genetically best traits of ancestors were collected and fixed:
- strong immunity;
- rapid growth and entry into maturity;
- fertility (up to eight babies in a litter);
- cleanliness (waste products are practically odorless);
- unusually soft fur;
- tender dairy meat without sharp smell or taste.
Did you know? The fat produced by Mikhailov's rabbits is valued in perfumery, some companies are willing to pay for it up to one hundred US dollars per kilogram.
The technology of growing rabbits according to the method of Mikhailov
The basis of the proposed method is to create the most natural conditions for the animal, excluding any stressful situations for it. Due to this and another number of principles (below), the maximum productivity is fixed in the long term at the genetic level of rabbits, and is fully transmitted to offspring.

Basic principles
The basic principles are derived from the natural physiological characteristics of Fuzzies: a weak digestive and nervous system.
Learn how to breed rabbits in a pit, in sheds, in aviaries.Therefore, to grow strong and healthy individuals follow these rules:
- clean and fresh air;
- constant maintenance of a comfortable mode of temperature and humidity;
- round-the-clock access to the feed;
- round-the-clock access to water (purified without salts and impurities);
- food exclusively environmentally friendly, natural;
- timely purification of housing from feces;
- minimal contact with a person;
- lack of vaccination;
- the young are breastfed until they leave infancy.
Features of cell construction
Such conditions can be provided with the help of well-thought-out cells, a kind of mini-farms. In the rabbit "apartment" provides automatic feed system and water. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the winter period: the auto-drinking system must be heated.
Did you know? Accelerate fur has its own name "mikraksel", it has a special softness, comparable to chinchilla fur.
A ventilation system has been designed that constantly filters the air, the heating system that warms up the room in cold weather to a comfortable temperature.
The design of the room involves the division into compartments, where each individual can arrange according to their needs: at the heated back wall; at the front, cooler, open to the gliding rays of the sun.
To clean the room from waste, a separate container is provided in which the stools are collected and regularly cleaned. 
How to make Mikhailov's cage for rabbits with your own hands
Before proceeding to the construction of structures, should consider its location. Experienced breeders recommend installing several rooms in a row, combining them with a common roof for stability and durability. In addition, it is desirable to install structures on a rigid base. When assembling and installing note that the blank back wall must "look" to the north.

Dimension drawings
Cells build both single-tier and two-, three-tier. There are no fundamental differences, all tiers are performed according to the same scheme.

Materials and tools
For the construction will need such materials and tools:
- plywood;
- galvanized iron;
- timber;
- board;
- sheets of hardboard;
- plate OSB;
- a pair of ligaments of narrow slats;
- galvanized mesh;

- paint;
- sealant;
- ax;
- level;
- screwdriver;
- self-tapping screws;
- saw;
- hinges for doors;
- hammer and nails.
Cell device according to MikhailovStep-by-step instruction
Having prepared everything you need, proceed to construction:
- Focusing on the dimensions in the drawing, from the timber prepare the details of the frame: vertical and horizontal supports.
- Vertical and horizontal supports are joined at right angles, self-tapping screws are used for stability and rigidity.
- In order to support the supporting horizontal bars in the lower part of the frame, an auxiliary corner piece (four pieces) is cut out of the wooden board, and they are also fastened with screws.
- After assembling the frame frame, calculating the size of the hopper for collecting waste, make a frame to support it. Since the bunker will be in the shape of a rectangular funnel - the frame for it has the same shape.
- On the sheet of galvanized iron, according to the drawing, outline the size of the waste bin, mark out the bend lines. The lines give the shape of a funnel rectangular type, the joints of the structure are treated with sealant.
- Bunker screws fixed on a support. At the bottom of the set to collect the feces.
- Next, the slats for the slatted floor are cut and fastened to the base.
- By the size of the doors are collected from the rails and mesh, which are then fixed with hinges and screws.
- Next, using partitions, the room is divided into compartments-rooms. Partitions can be made of fiberboard.
- The back wall is also covered with a solid sheet.
- All tiers of the cage are performed according to the same principle, at home they are more often built in two tiers, where the upper floor is taken under the mother liquor.
- Both compartments are supplied with feeders and drinkers. The shape of the feeder can be rectangular or wedge-shaped, with a hinged lid for loading the feed. The sieve in the feeder set tilted.
- In the manufacture of boxes for drinking trough should take into account the size of the canister to be used, as well as a place for the boiler.
- Be sure to warm the back wall, in the uterus and inside and outside.
- For the roof, use the OSB slab attached to the screws.

Important! A waste bin made of galvanized metal must be treated with an anti-corrosion agent to protect it from the action of ammonia and the external environment.
Pros and cons of growing rabbits by the method of Mikhailov
In each innovative method, you can find your advantages and disadvantages, this method of breeding is not an exception. Consider the benefits:
- there is no need to buy animals - they breed well;
- no need to vaccinate - fluffy strong immunity;
- rapid growth of pets - the desired weight in four months;
- cost savings because natural feed;
- saving time - the farm is automated.
- waste-free production - literally everything is valuable: fat, meat, fur, litter.
Important! To ensure the durability of the structure, all wooden parts should be treated with antiseptics.The only drawback attributed to this technology in rabbit breeding is high costs. Costs and truthful considerable, but quickly pay off.

Reviews
I did not meet anywhere people who bought and were delighted with the Mikhailovsky cells (except Dimali).
Yes, convenient, yes good: - but the price ...
In St. Petersburg, it can pay off in two years. And in the province, where kg. rabbit flesh 200-250 rubles., but tribal to sell is also a problem - you can not wait for a payback. On the Internet, I met several people. who are waiting for the third year payback, and are willing to sell these cells nafig.
If you are going to build cells, it would not hurt to think carefully before, and it is possible to change the solution.
But if you still decide, the principle of the device is as follows: the pipe on top is lowered into the bunker, a level just below the polik. So, as ammonia is a heavy gas, it must first reach the pipe, and rush along it, and not go into the cage. Rabbaks found another solution - they installed a cooler at the bottom of the bunker to force the air from the bunker.
