Rabbit Breeds

• Selection of prime stock is the initial and most basic step toward the success or failure of a rabbit operation. Naturally, an animal’s appearance will play a major factor in the process of selection. Other essential requirements are health, vigor, longevity, ability to reproduce, and desirable type and conformation.
• Medium and large breeds, such as New Zealand, California, Dutch Gray, English Spot, Chinchilla, and Flemish Giant, have the most suitable size and conformation for producing meat and fur. White breeds of rabbits (e.g., New Zealand White and Californian) are the most prolific and the most desirable for commercial and fur production because white skins usually bring higher prices.

Rabbit Management

• Rabbit can be fed with pellets, grasses like elephant grass, fresh maize and leaves, lettuce, cabbage potatoes and leaves, carrots, dried cassava peels, yam peels, banana, and leaves.
• Simple food formation includes: Maize bran, groundnuts, millets or wheat, and alfalfa…all properly mixed together.
• Our weaners are always given recommended medications at four weeks old (anti-biotics and multivitamins) and these should be repeated every four weeks.
• However, overall, the primary criterion remains the rabbit’s records. It is vitally important to study records on family production, hereditary factors, size of animals, growth potential, etc. Therefore, purchase your foundation stock from a reliable and established rabbitry that keeps such records.
• Pellets are preferable to mashes because the rabbits waste less (they are unable to paw them out of the crocks as easily). Also, they are not dusty so they won’t irritate the nose and lungs.
• If you must use a mash, you can avoid the crustiness and reduce some waste by adding just enough water to slightly moisten the feed. However, beware of giving too much-moistened feed to the rabbit or leaving it in the pen too long as it will sour and the rabbit will not eat it, causing further waste. In the low lands where fermentation is more prevalent, give the rabbits only enough concentrates to be consumed within a 10- to the 15-minute time span.
