To a certain extent, it stimulates the appetite of pet rabbits, and the pellet feed can also promote the rabbit's gastrointestinal digestion and make the pet rabbit's diet healthier.

The professional rabbit pellet feeds on the market are made by mixing and pressing various feed ingredients, with comprehensive and sufficient nutrients. It also avoids the phenomenon of unbalanced nutrition intake caused by picky eaters in rabbits. At the same time, the digestibility of the feed is improved. Pet rabbits eat pellets for a longer time to chew, which can promote the secretion of amylase in the mouth, so that the feed in the mouth is fully mixed with saliva, stimulates the peristalsis of the intestine, and greatly improves the feed. The digestibility of nutrients. The use of pellet feed, especially fine pellet feed, can increase the feed utilization rate by 25.7% to 33.2%; pellet feed supplementation for young rabbits is significantly better than powder feed, and the weight gain of litter, individual weight and feed conversion rate can be significantly improved (10%- 20%), promote the growth of young rabbits, and avoid feed waste and nutritional imbalance caused by powder.

Moreover, pellet feed is professionally suppressed, and through the comprehensive action of short-term high temperature and high pressure, not only the starch in the feed is gelatinized and protein is organized, but also the enzyme activity is enhanced, which makes the beans contained in the feed and some obstacles in the grain field. The digestion and utilization of nutrients are inactivated, which improves the digestibility of rabbit feed.

There are indeed many benefits of feeding pellets to pet rabbits, and it saves a lot of trouble and difficulty in feeding for the host.
