Cuniculture Have you ever considered rabbit farming as a top business opportunity?   Though rabbit meat may not be as common as chicken, beef or pork, there is no doubt it is a very lucrative business; every year, over one million tons of rabbit meat is consumed worldwide.   In Africa, the consumption of rabbit meat is speedily taking off and many farmers on the continent are already enjoying the benefits of this niche business.     Rabbit meat contains the highest amounts of digestible proteins and the lowest cholesterol and fat of all types of meat. In addition, rabbits are easy to raise; they are clean and require little capital, labor, time and space to manage.   Currently, China, Italy, Spain and France are the leading producers of rabbit meat, which has earned a reputation as a ‘ super meat ’ due to its nutritional and health benefits.
