Storage of rabbit hair

　　1、防压：兔毛具有毡合性，在水湿、温热和压力的影响下，容易相互缠结毡合，剪毛或收购后的兔毛如果没有及时外运或销售，应装入专用的木柜或纸箱，避免重压。数量较大的兔场或采购站应由专仓保管，不宜多次翻动或用力揉搓，以免缠结，为保持兔毛的光洁度，尽量用塑料布或油光纸衬垫内壁。

　　1. Anti pressure: rabbit hair has felting property, and it is easy to entangle with each other under the influence of moisture, temperature and pressure. If the sheared or purchased rabbit hair is not transported or sold in time, it should be packed into a special wooden cabinet or carton to avoid heavy pressure. A large number of rabbit farms or purchasing stations should be kept in a special warehouse. It is not suitable to turn or rub repeatedly to avoid entanglement. In order to maintain the smoothness of rabbit hair, the inner wall should be padded with plastic cloth or glossy paper as far as possible.

　　2、防潮：兔毛的吸湿能力很强，阴雨、潮湿季节定要注意防潮。如果兔毛吸湿返潮，有利于微生物的生长繁殖，使兔毛变色、腐败甚霉烂变质。所以，多雨潮湿季节，在密闭贮存兔毛的木柜或纸箱，墙角或地面应撒布石灰以吸收水气，降低室内湿度。

　　2. Moistureproof: the moisture absorption ability of rabbit hair is very strong, so we must pay attention to moisture-proof in rainy and humid seasons. If the rabbit hair is hygroscopic, it is conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, which makes the rabbit hair discolored, rotten and even moldy. Therefore, in rainy and humid season, lime should be spread on the wall corner or floor of wooden cabinet or carton for sealed storage of rabbit hair to absorb moisture and reduce indoor humidity.
                            

　　3、防晒：兔毛长期处于日晒或高温条件下，其纤维中的角蛋白易氧化分解产生氨和硫化氢，使兔毛变色、变脆、降低品质。所以兔毛切忌在阳光下曝晒，即使受潮或霉变时，也只能在阳光下晾晒1～2小时，然后在阴凉通风处晾干。

　　3. Sunscreen: rabbit hair is in the sun or high temperature for a long time, the keratin in the fiber is easy to oxidize and decompose to produce ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which makes the rabbit hair discolor, brittle and reduce the quality. Therefore, rabbit hair should not be exposed to the sun, even if it is damp or moldy, it can only be dried in the sun for 1-2 hours, and then dried in a cool and ventilated place.

　　4、防蛀：兔毛属天然蛋白质纤维，易受虫害，特别是吸湿受潮之后容易发生虫蛀。所以要定期检查，夏季一般10～15天检查1次，冬季30～40天检查1次。为防止兔毛虫蛀，可放置适量樟脑丸或其他防虫剂，但切忌将防虫剂与兔毛直接混放接触。

　　4. Moth prevention: rabbit hair is a natural protein fiber, easy to be damaged by insects, especially after moisture absorption. Therefore, regular inspection should be carried out every 10-15 days in summer and once in 30-40 days in winter. In order to prevent rabbit hair from being damaged by insects, proper amount of camphor pills or other insect repellents can be placed, but do not mix the insect repellent with rabbit hair directly.
