Rabbit Farms and Profit

Image
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...

Raising rabbits

Image
    rabbits grazing    Raising rabbits for meat isn't a new idea, although it hasn't achieved the popularity of other forms of animal protein. Maybe part of this is due to the fact that bunnies are cute. Yet, if you can get past the looks of the animal, there are some very good reasons to consider rabbits for meat.   One good reason to raise rabbits for meat is that it requires a way less food and water to produce than other meat animals. For example, if you fed a cow and a rabbit the same amount of food and water, a rabbit will produce 6 pounds of meat and a cow will only produce one pound.   Another great thing about rabbits is that their meat is lower in cholesterol than most other meats. And it also has the highest protein ratio. It's just better for you!   Beside meat, rabbits can provide you with fur/pelt for clothing etc., manure and urine for gardening and offal for pet dog food.   Because rabbits breed and grow so...

Rabbits now city chickens

Backyard rabbit farming   Backyard rabbits now city chickens (Simple rabbit recipe) By now we all know that eating a lot of meat-especially factory-farmed meat-isn't very good for the planet. Fortunately for meat eaters, some meats are more sustainable than others. And as it turns out, rabbit is one of the healthiest, leanest, and most environmentally friendly meats you can eat.   The biggest reason, when asked ‘why rabbits’, to most backyard breeders is rabbits are herbivores and consume large quantities of forage (greens), which people do not eat and convert this forage into valuable meat for human consumption. Practically, rabbits can be fed anything from the garden, forest or kitchen including banana and papaya (pawpaw) peels, pineapple cores, corn stalks, weeds, vines from pulses, leaves (cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, carrots) etc. This indicates that unlike chickens, rabbits compete minimally with humans for grains.   Rabbits are quiet and s...
