JF RABBITS: FOREMOST RABBIT BREEDER IN NIGERIA

Here is how rabbit farms become profitable. When farmers begin planning their rabbit farms, they will need to formulate a plan, which will often need to be submitted to an agricultural or planning board in your area in which you wish to set up this venture.   Rabbit meat is very high in protein and low in fat. Being low in calories per weight, it's not ideal for sustaining hard labor, but it can definitely do in a pinch. Rabbits also have one of the most efficient feed-growth ratios, keeping feeding costs way down. You could get about 70 lbs of fryer meat a year out of each doe, and one buck can service 8-10 does. In addition to meat, rabbits also provide great nitrogen-rich fertilizer, and their pelts are very soft and supple.   Most rabbit farms have 2 litter pens per doe, a cage per buck, and a few other extra cages for raising replacement breeders. Litter pens are ideally a minimum of 30x30 inches. I recommend 24x24 cages for bucks and replacement breeders. Ca...

Cecotrophy Cecotropes are special poops made by your bunny. They are partially digested foods that are passed from the bunny and then eaten by bunny. You may not see your bunny do this, but when it appears to be bathing its belly and comes up chewing, your bunny is probably eating a cecotrophe. It is from these cecal pellets that a rabbit gets the majority of its nutrition. Related: Related: Benefits of rabbit cool manure

HOW TO MAKE RABBITS REPRODUCE VERY FAST Note to reader: rabbits are prolific in nature and can have up to 8 litters a year. This will require your commitment and resources. So, except you are ready for this, do not keep two mature rabbits of opposite sex together - the doe may end up getting pregnant within minutes of being together with the buck.   When breeding rabbits find out how old they are. The minimum age for breeding depends upon breed: heavy breeds take 9-12 months before they are old enough to breed; Medium breeds like New Zealand Whites are ready to breed at 6-9 months of age; while small breeds mature at 4-5 months Too early breeding puts the doe in a dangerous position because they are not old enough to handle the strain of nursing. One male, or buck, can service as many as ten females but he should not be used more than two or three times a week for best results. HOW TO MATE RABBITS The female, or doe, will probably object to having the buck placed i...

What is a recession? A recession is when the economy declines significantly for at least six months. That means there’s a drop in the following five economic indicators: real GDP (Gross Domestic Product), income, employment, manufacturing and retail sales. People often say a recession is when the GDP growth rate is negative for two consecutive quarters or more. But a recession can quietly begin before the quarterly gross domestic product reports are out. A recession is usually underway when there are several quarters of slowing but still positive growth. Often a quarter of negative growth will occur followed by positive growth for several quarters, and then another quarter of negative growth. When recession hit my rabbit farm On the evening of Aug 31, 2016 I was at a local restaurant near my apartment. A plate of pepper soup has just been placed in front of me when the voice from a television set announced that Nigeria was in a recession.
