The beaten as a rabbit pelt. All stages of fleshing to scratching.

More and more people are beginning to keep rabbits: these animals valued for fertility, high-quality meat. But most breeders skins throws: do not see the point in spending time and money on chemicals, and often does not work, no matter how you try to follow the described by the Internet technology.

KonstSib1972 warns the first few skins you definitely mess up. Perhaps someone diminish enuziazma - alenabelFor example, skins 40 spoiled until learned. Therefore, before purchasing chemicals, need to think about whether it is necessary to communicate with this time-consuming task. Because even when you learn to fabricate perfect skin, to sell them will be problematic. A dress "for himself" makes sense only to the owner of a large rabbitry: if you have a pair of animals "for the soul", it is better to not even bother.

Even on the cap must be 3-4 skins, and fur - 25, though they still have to pick up on the tone. If all rabbits offsuit, then pick up the skin on the product - it is long.

If the breeding of rabbits, not only for meat, but also on the skin, then they must score at a certain time, after molting. The best fur is obtained in winter, as well as the individual usually slaughtered for food in the hundred-day age, we have to tighten the requirements for timing pairing or specimen is deposited, selected on a hide in a single cell and to feed it to the onset of frost-resistant closure and molting. But it is not economically viable because:

• Dietary rabbit meat is considered to be up to 4 months (depending on the breed).
•  After 4 months, the rabbits meat breeds bad start to gain weight, and all eaten away into fat.

For skins specially counted mating time so that the slaughter (as I recall) fell at the end of May and the end of November.

If you are carried away dressing skins seriously, it will inevitably raise the question of replacing the rabbit herd. For example, good fur products derived from the Rex, black-brown, Russian ermine, etc.

For the dressing you will need plastic pots or buckets with lids, oil cloth and rubber gloves.

In books on rabbit skins svezhesnyatuyu recommend mothball: fill the salt and dry on boards to at the right time to soak and dressed. Given our climate, many breeders excrete fresh skins, and if canned, then They do it in the room, putting pravilku near the stove or battery, so that it is not "frozen, unable to prosolitsya ". The main rule of conservation: skin should be tight without any wrinkles, creases because it dries slowly and can start to rot.

Canned skin macerated in water and salt solution supplemented with antibiotic, e.g., tetracycline or other, which will give the counter without a prescription. Further still, with "today's" skin (based on user take FORUMHOUSE technology AlenabeWith the addition of other techniques, breeders users of our portal):

• Remove scrapings. Fleshing start from the tail to the head and move in a circle. First, you can pry the scrapings with a sharp knife to make it to hold on to, and then only work with his hands.
• Degreasing: my in any laundry detergent containing soda ash - degreased. Hour (no longer) skins soaked in a solution of 10 grams of the powder and 15 grams of salt per 10 liters of water, well my right in it, then how should rinse in clean warm water to get rid of residues powder.

• Pikelyuem salt solution and acetic acid or vinegar acid if you do not sell. Alenabe pikelyuet in solution: on liter of warm water (30-35 ° C) - 50 grams of 9% vinegar and more salt to obtain a "saturated solution". Leave for a day, stirring every hour to skin evenly propikelevalis.
• Squeeze the skin, folds neatly and leave overnight at prolezhku under pressure (cloth inside).
• Eighteen hours neutralize a salt solution. Stir every 10-15 minutes.
• Securing (tanning): 40 grams of salt and 8 grams of chrome alum per liter of warm water. First, water is mixed salt, alum separately dissolved in a small amount of very hot water, almost boiling water. This solution was introduced into a solution of water and salt. All is well mixed. The skins are placed in this solution for 12-14 hours, and stirred every half to three hours.

Chrome alum, as they say in FORUMHOUSE, «trudnodobyvaemaya chemistry." Fortunately, they can be replaced with willow bark.

The pan is not very tight, stacked bark and thin branches of willows, are filled with water and boiled. Broth cooled to 36 degrees and lowered into it skins. The ratio of broth to the hides of about 12 liters of broth 8 pelts.

For uniform tanning skins in Willow decoction is also stir and keep it as 12-14 hours. Willingness is determined as follows: cut a slice with a sharp knife and look at it through a magnifying glass. If you see that the skin is completely engorged with a solution, then the process can be finished.

7. The skins removed from the solution, drained and again placed under the press for ripening (again at 12 hours).

8. Thoroughly wring (fur outward) in an old towel, turn pelt fur inside, pull on boards, a few hours to dry, smear zhirovochnym composition. The hot but not hot molar composition is applied by brush, carefully so as not to soil pile.

Remember! When dry skin should not be folds. Folds - our biggest enemy!

Options zhirovochnogo composition:

• Equal parts yolk machine oil + glycerol 2ml of ammonia.
• Liter of water, 0.5 kg of pork, beef or rabbit fat, 200 grams of soap and 20 milliliters of ammonia. Fat melt, it crumble soap, hot water is added, ammonia and boiled until homogeneous.

Smeared skins left to stand overnight, the composition is better absorbed. The skin during this time a little dry up. Then it will be possible to cut the cloth and hang on clothespins rope for a final dryness. From time to time it is necessary to remove the skins and stretch in different directions, and to stretch her hands if it tough in some places.

9. Dry skin of hands knead, sandpaper - unit or a pumice stone removed unnecessary roughness to the flesh side, comb the fur normal hair brush, a vacuum cleaner.

The biggest challenge in this whole process - remove the scrapings. The easiest way to it is removed from the fresh skins, and rabbits.

Removed the nail of the thumb of his right hand. So far I have men on the market, which in the nineties earned currying not shown their right hands, I could not understand. Bruise under the nail and the nail is almost there.

Everything else that adapt himself just enough. All components for the manufacture can be bought at a pharmacy and grocery store only: hromokalievye alum, but they can now be found in online stores. Liters of alum, if you engage in dressing skins "for himself", will last for five years.
