Breeding Healthy Rabbits

Whether the animals are intended for sale or personal consumption, keeping rabbits requires certain basic knowledge, especially when it comes to hygiene and disease prevention.

Rabbit keeping is a rewarding activity since it offers both good revenues and animal protein for the household. Rabbit meat is highly nutritious, low in fat and cholesterol and rich in protein, vitamins and mineral salts. Rabbits are also extremely prolific. With adequate care and proper feeding, a doe can produce up to 40 young per year (compared with 0.8 for cows and 1.4 for ewes). That means you could virtually sell or eat one rabbit a week, all year round.
