Rabbit Breeding has become one of the most successful projects in recent years. Following extensive and intensive breeding in commercial farms that utilize specialized feeds for rabbit nutrition. Rabbits are recognized for their high production capacity and rapid growth compared to other animals. Rabbits, like other animals, contribute to increasing and developing white meat sources. Rabbit meat is easily digested because it is low in fat (5-6%), low in cholesterol (25mg/100gm) and high in protein (22-25%) with good taste. Rabbits have high meat production rates compared to other farm animals, which is why they are considered an important source of animal protein. Additionally, they are suitable for large-scale commercial projects as well as small-scale operations and even home breeding.
Rabbits produce 10 times their body weight in meat annually due to their rapid growth and fast weight gain during the first days of life. In addition to their high fertility and reproduction capacity (7 times a year) and (8 rabbits per litter on average). Since their feed components are entirely vegetarian, they do not require protein from animal sources. The feed conversion rate for rabbits is high, reaching approximately 3 to 3.5 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meat. At this rate, rabbits reach marketing weight (1.5-2kg) at the early age of (8-10 weeks).
