Rabbit farming is the production of dietary meat and skins at home or on an industrial scale. The meat of these animals is very tasty, easy to digest and extremely useful. Due to its high protein content, it can be consumed even by the elderly, people suffering from gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases and used as the first complementary food in the diet of young children.
Instructions
Step 1
Find a rabbit room. It is good to place animals on a personal farm or in a summer cottage, you can organize your own mini-farm. Build a structure based on how many rabbits you plan to purchase. The size must be less than three square meters. Get pets from experienced breeders, it is good if they are already vaccinated.
Step 2
Prepare bedding, which can be made from straw or pieces of warm blanket. Arrange food bowls and containers of clean water in the cage. Choose a small area where rabbits can leave waste. You can use manure as fertilizer or agree to sell it. Rabbits can withstand frost down to -30 degrees, but if you plan to breed them all year round and periodically breed, take care of the insulation of the room. You can install lighting, install electric water heating, etc.
Step 3
Divide rabbits by sex starting at 3 months of age. This will avoid unplanned offspring. A female can carry two litters at the same time, so do not be surprised if the difference between the birth of rabbits is about three to four days. In moments of stress, for example, future rabbits can dissolve in the womb. Thus, the rabbit launches the self-defense mechanism of herself and her offspring.
Step 4
Feed the animals with fresh vegetables, dry hay, grass. Change the water daily. Get special pills for worms, give them to rabbits every 6 months. Talk to your veterinarian about the need and schedule for pet vaccinations.
Step 5
Search for options for selling finished products. Conclude contracts for the supply of meat with the nearest catering places. Try to sell the goods through meat processing plants. You can register as a sole proprietor if you plan to breed a large number of rabbits. Participate in various fairs, publish ads for sale in the media - this is how you attract buyers.
