Raising rabbits requires a balanced diet, and roughage plays a crucial role in their nutrition. Among various sources of roughage, peanut meal stands out as one of the most cost-effective and high-quality options. It contains 12.2% crude protein, 2.8% calcium, 0.1% phosphorus, 0.40% lysine, and 0.27% sulfur Amino Acids, along with 21.8% crude fiber. Its overall nutritional value is second only to that of soybean meal, and it is significantly cheaper than many other feed ingredients. In recent years, while diagnosing and treating rabbit diseases on-site or via phone, I noticed that some health issues—such as diarrhea, bloating, and even mass deaths—were linked to the feeding of peanut meal. After thorough investigation, I discovered that the root cause was often poor-quality peanut meal. One major issue is excessive soil content. Some peanut farms purchase peanut meal from local feed suppliers, who collect raw peanuts from farmers and crush them. Since payment is based on weight, some sellers fail to clean the peanuts properly, leaving behind dirt, roots, and harmful microorganisms. In some cases, they even mix in extra mud to increase the weight, severely compromising the quality of the meal. When rabbits consume this contaminated feed, they often suffer from indigestion and diarrhea. To check for this, users can place a small amount of the meal in water and observe how much sediment settles at the bottom—it’s a simple but effective way to assess quality. Another problem is mold and dampness. Peanut harvesting typically occurs during the rainy season, and if the peanuts are not dried quickly enough, they can easily become moldy. Feeding rabbits with such spoiled meal often leads to digestive problems like diarrhea, constipation, and bloating. In recent years, bloating caused by moldy feed has become increasingly common. Additionally, plastic film pollution is a growing concern. In some northern regions of China, farmers use mulch films to speed up planting and improve yield. However, these films can sometimes remain in the peanut pods after harvest. If not carefully removed, they can end up in the feed. Rabbits that ingest these plastic particles may suffer severe health issues, even death. Therefore, it's essential to inspect the peanut meal thoroughly before processing and remove any foreign materials, especially plastic films, to ensure the safety of the feed. To sum up, while peanut meal is a valuable feed ingredient, its quality must be carefully evaluated. Farmers should pay attention to factors like soil contamination, mold, and plastic pollution to avoid serious health problems in their rabbits. Proper handling and selection of peanut meal can greatly improve the health and productivity of the animals.

In the Arbas region of 105° east longitude and 40° north latitude where the temperature fluctuation between day and night can reach 50 degrees in winter, there is an essential native goat breed, the purebred Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat, which features thin and soft hair, a pair of horns and pink ears. Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat looks small yet are the nobles of goats.
The famous Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat, as a rare breed living in the Ordos Plateau of Inner Mongolia, is concentrated in Otog Banner, Otog Front Banner and Hanggin Banner in the western part of the Plateau. Sumu, Arbas, Otog Banner is the primary production area of Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat for its favorable natural environment, with Arbas Mountain in the west, vast natural pasture in the center and desert steppe in the south. The semi-arid steppe climate provides excellent conditions for animal husbandry.
Due to its location in the desert steppe, the area is dry and windy with little rainfall and much sand. The temperature difference between day and night is extremely high, and the annual average temperature is 6.4 °C. In the long, cold and dry winter, the lowest temperature reaches -30°C to -40°C late at night, while in the short, hot and arid summer, the highest temperature is 36.4°C and the lowest -32°C, with annual precipitation between 200mm to 400mm. The adorable, lovely and lively Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat grows in such extremely harsh conditions, thus can produce rare and quality cashmere.
Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat`s two coats are pure white. The top layer or outer coat is bright and coarse guard hair to protect the undercoat that is softer and finer down. The quality of the cashmere fleece is determined by three indicators: the diameter, length, and density of cashmere fibers. Due to its unique genes, Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat has a superiority that can never be duplicated. Its secondary hair follicle is smaller than those of other goats, and its cashmere has an average diameter between 13μm to 15 μm. It can even produce cashmere with a perfect diameter of 14.5μm, with a pure cashmere content of over 55%, which is unique worldwide. The preciousness of cashmere results from the small amount of production of each goat. Therefore, Inner Mongolian Arbas Baby Cashmere Goat was officially named by the People`s Government of Autonomous Region in 1988 and was listed on the National Register for the Conservation of Animal Genetic Resources as Class-1 protected breed by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2001.
