Rabbit meat is very healthy meat, nutritional value can even be compared with beef, which is much higher than lamb and beef, but it is not as widely used as beef and lamb. In fact, from all aspects, the reason why this will result in a number of reasons, whether it is the psychological factors that many people are difficult to overcome. Or the reason that rabbit meat itself is too dry and lean to satisfy the appetite, and moreover, it can be discussed from the reason that raising rabbits is inherently more costly and difficult.
One, by the traditional diet and psychological factors
Rabbit meat belongs to the main meat in Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guizhou and other parts of the country, which is also affected by the local cultural traditions. For other provinces in China, the existence of rabbit meat is dispensable, and even in some parts of the southern region there will be women can not eat rabbit meat rumors, because rabbit meat may affect fertility. Due to psychological factors, many rabbit people find it difficult to eat rabbit meat, and many girls keep rabbits as their pets, which makes it difficult for them to accept rabbit meat. In contrast, few people will keep cows and sheep as pets.
Second, by the cost and revenue factors
Rabbits can not be raised cost and revenue is directly proportional to the rate of meat to compare words. Breeding rabbits meat rate is much lower than cattle and sheep, and rabbits edible part of the rabbit in addition to rabbit meat, the other offal is not for most people like, so it reduces the degree of edible. At the same time, rabbits are more difficult to breed than cattle and sheep, and rabbits need to be treated more carefully and attentively in terms of breeding, because there will be a high mortality rate if it is not easy to do so. Therefore, in the eyes of businessmen, it is not worthwhile to raise a large number of rabbits, so the number of rabbits is far less than that of cattle and sheep.
In terms of flavor, rabbits cannot be sliced due to their small size. So it's difficult to cook, and it doesn't taste as good as beef if you don't add a lot of spices to it. So also most of the families have not been exposed to rabbit meat, not good at cooking and thus reduce the purchasing power and attractiveness of rabbit meat. So there are many reasons why beef and lamb are widely used and rabbit is more of a regional specialty.
