Rabbit farming is also an integral part of modern animal husbandry, but it is different from traditional animal husbandry, such as raising pigs, cattle and chickens. Because of the special economic significance of rabbits' hair, skin and meat, rabbit farming has been paid more and more attention. At present, rabbit farming projects have become an indispensable part of modern animal husbandry.
Advantages of rabbit breeding
Rabbit farming is also different from general animal husbandry. Rabbits are herbivorous animals, mainly fed with grass feed, which shows the advantages of not competing with people for food and land. Feeding in rural areas is easy to solve, and farming does not belong to heavy physical work. All ages, women and children can feed, and the breeding scale can be flexible, with strong reproductive ability and high income. It is still an ideal family farming industry.
Rabbit products are widely used.
Rabbits can provide people with nutritious meat. Rabbit meat is a high-protein, low-fat and low-cholesterol meat product, which is nutritious and easy to digest and suitable for all ages. Rabbit hair is an advanced raw material for wool spinning, and its products have the advantages of light, warm, soft and beautiful. Rabbit skin can be used to make fur clothing, gloves and so on. Bunny is gentle in temperament and has unique organ characteristics in other soils, so it is one of the main animals suitable for biological science experiments. Rabbit manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer, which contains more nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium than other animal manure, and is a high-quality fertilizer source in agricultural production.
Rabbit meat is a shortcut to solve the shortage of meat.
From the various contributions of rabbits to people, it can be seen that rabbit farming still has a good development prospect. With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase of animal food, the development of aquaculture will inevitably continue to expand. However, from the current people's eating habits of animal food, pork accounts for a larger proportion. From the situation that pork prices rose sharply last year, people's consumption of pork is still very large.
Pig industry is actually an unreasonable food structure, and the transformation of pork requires a large number of food crops, and eating pork is far less good for human quality than eating rabbit meat. In terms of production per unit area, rabbit breeding is also an industry with high production capacity. Under the current situation that the number of live pigs is decreasing, developing rabbit breeding is also a shortcut to solve the shortage of meat.
Rabbit farming is dominated by the influence of fasting wild animals.
In recent years, the export volume of rabbits is also rising, and the rabbit breeding technology has also been generally improved. As early as the 1970s, there was a rabbit breeding discipline in China, and there were related topics devoted to rabbit breeding. With the continuous exploration of rabbit breeding technology, the variety of rabbits is increasing, such as Saibei rabbit and Harbin rabbit, which are all excellent rabbit varieties in China.
Practice has proved that the development of rabbit breeding production has always been a major advantage in rural areas, and it is also one of the optional projects for farmers to start businesses in rural areas, and it is also a cause worthy of promotion. Recently, a decision on banning the trading and eating of wild animals was issued. In the future, rabbit farming will be further developed under the condition that some wild animals are banned.
However, in the development of rabbit farming, we have to understand its disadvantages. Because the value and price of meat rabbit products are often unreasonable, and the domestic processing and digestion ability of rabbit products is not strong enough, the market situation of meat rabbit is not stable enough, the market supply and marketing order is chaotic, and the scale efficiency is low. However, it is believed that with the fasting of wild animals, the change of people's awareness of healthy eating, and the increase of export volume in the international market, rabbit farming will achieve good development in the future.

The rabbit breeding varieties in China are mainly composed of meat rabbit, rex rabbit and long-haired rabbit. In addition to reaching in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises of rex rabbit and long-haired rabbit, new rabbit farmers have a higher probability of success in breeding meat rabbit, which is relatively safe.
Compared with other livestock and poultry breeding projects, rabbit breeding has small investment and short cycle, so many rural entrepreneurs choose to raise rabbits. Is there any prospect for rabbit breeding in 2020? What kind of rabbits are suitable for rural farming?

1. Is there any prospect for rabbit breeding in 2020?
The meat rabbit breeding cycle is short, the technology is simple, the cost is low, the sale is easy, and the long-term benefit is good. In addition, with the vigorous promotion of the national grain-to-feed policy, the rabbit industry will enjoy more and more national policy benefits, because raising rabbits occupies less land, causes less pollution, and is mainly herbivorous, so this is also an opportunity.
However, it may not be difficult to raise rabbits, but it is difficult to raise rabbits well and make money. We need to consider and do well in all aspects, such as rabbit farm construction, introduction and purchase of rabbits, feeding management, feed nutrition, breeding, disease prevention and marketing, etc. Failure in any one aspect may lead to failure in raising rabbits.

2. What kind of rabbits are suitable for rural farming?
There are many kinds of rabbits. The rabbit breeding varieties in China are mainly composed of three kinds: meat rabbit, rex rabbit and long-haired rabbit. The meat rabbit is the main character, accounting for 80%, rex rabbit accounting for 19% and long-haired rabbit accounting for 1%. The biggest market is meat rabbits.
1, meat rabbit
Meat rabbits are used to eat meat after they are raised, mainly for the market and restaurants. In recent years, the consumption of rabbit meat has been significantly increased again, which has a great relationship with the level of China's economic development. The reason why rabbit meat is increasingly dependent is that its health, nutritional value and new ways of eating rabbit meat have been recognized by the public.
2. Rex rabbit
Rex rabbits are mainly used to produce skins, and their skins are fine and their fur is dense. Rex rabbits are French, American and German. Among them, the production performance of French rex rabbits is relatively symmetrical, while that of American rex rabbits is good but its population is seriously degraded, while that of German rex rabbits is big but its adaptability is slightly poor.
3. Long-haired rabbits
Long-haired rabbits are generally used for wool production and pet rabbit breeding. At present, the price of rabbit hair in the market is relatively good, which is around 200 yuan per kilogram. According to the annual output of each rabbit1.5 kg of hair and the feeding cost 100 yuan, the annual profit of a single rabbit can reach around 200 yuan.
However, in addition to the conditions for new rabbit farmers to reach in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises of rex rabbits and angora rabbits and choose rex rabbits and angora rabbits for breeding, it is more likely and safer to choose meat rabbits for breeding successfully. At the same time, it is suggested that farmers should cooperate more closely with planting, processing and circulation through cooperatives or companies+farmers.
I'm glad to answer this question.
Under the current situation, rabbit breeding is promising. But there are also risks.
First of all: we should choose the variety of rabbits. That is to say, it is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, and now the domestication of wild animals has been controlled. Therefore, it is suggested that rabbits should not be farmed as much as possible.
Second: But other breeds can be selected, such as Angora angora rabbits. And it depends on whether you buy rabbit hair locally. It is inconvenient for the seller and the price is not suitable.
Third: the general consumption market of meat rabbits is very large. Very adaptable. The reproductive rate is also high. Therefore, meat rabbits can be the key selection targets.
In short, no matter what variety you choose, you must adapt to local conditions. Look at the climatic conditions in your place and whether the feed source conditions are suitable. There is also epidemic prevention measures, which must be in place.
Please see the following video for details:
hello
I hope my answer can help you. Personally, I am very optimistic about the prospects of rabbit breeding. Generally, there are two kinds of breeding rabbits with good prospects. Let me introduce them to you one by one. I am awei from the village.
1. China rabbit
Also known as China White Rabbit, China Benbai Rabbit and Little White Rabbit, they were originally mainly used as meat rabbits and also called "vegetable rabbits". All over the country, China,
The color of rabbit hair is mostly pure white, but there are also brown, gray, black and variegated colors. This kind of rabbit body
Type A is small, with adult rabbit's weight, red eyes, sharp mouth and ears.
Short and thick, upright, short and dense coat, thick skin. China rabbits are strong in disease resistance, crude and easy to raise.
It has strong adaptability and fast reproduction, and can breed 56 nests every year, with an average of about 10 per nest. China white rabbits are traditionally used as both meat and skin rabbits. Because this rabbit is petite and lively.
Love, especially pure white hair and ruby eyes complement each other, which is very spring.
Love. It is an excellent breed of pet rabbits.
Hare is a special wild economic animal with both fur and meat. Hare is a herbivorous and grain-saving small livestock, and its staple food is weeds, leaves, sweet potato vines, etc. These feeds are widely available and low in price, so the breeding cost is extremely low, and the cost of a commercial rabbit is only a few yuan. Rabbits have strong disease resistance, extremely high survival rate, are easier to raise than rabbits, and have strong reproductive ability. Female rabbits give birth to 6-8 babies every year, and each baby gives birth to 7-8 rabbits, which can be put on the market in three months. Rabbits can be classified into large rabbits, medium rabbits and small rabbits according to their body types. The weight of large rabbits is about 5-8 kilograms, the weight of medium rabbits is about 2-4 kilograms, and the weight of small rabbits is about 2 kilograms.
Generally speaking, the rabbit's body can be divided into four parts: head and neck, trunk, limbs and tail. At present, the market price has been at 18-20 yuan/kg. Even at the lowest price 10 yuan/kg, its profit is higher than that of 20 yuan, and the benefits are considerable.
, feed diversification, reasonable collocation.
1, beans, Gramineae and Compositae should be used more, mainly green feed, and one or two concentrated feeds should be supplemented every day. According to the nutrients contained, we should learn from each other's strengths to meet the needs of rabbits' growth and development. We should avoid single feed, and at the same time, we should prepare wintering materials, such as ryegrass and radish.
2, timing and quantification
Feeding should have a certain number of times, time and quantity, develop eating habits, and do not suffer from hunger or overeating, so as to avoid digestive tract diseases.
3, pay attention to health, corrosion and mildew.
Sweep the rabbit cage every day, remove the rabbit dung every day, choose brush feeding tools, change the bedding frequently, disinfect regularly, keep the rabbit house clean and dry, pay attention to the feed quality, do not feed moldy, rotten and toxic feed, and drink clean water.
4, group management, strengthen sports.
Group rabbits according to age, sex and mode of production, and exercise rabbits frequently to keep them wild when conditions permit.
5. Feeding and management of young rabbits
From birth to weaning, young rabbits are characterized by incomplete development and rapid growth, poor regulatory function, weak adaptability and weak resistance. According to its growth and development characteristics, feeding management is divided into two stages, namely, sleep period and eye-opening period. In addition to taking effective measures to let the rabbits eat enough milk, the young rabbits during sleep should do a good job in cold and warmth, mosquito repellent, rodent control, disease prevention and suffocation prevention, and at the same time do a good job in cleaning and hygiene inside and outside the box. Feeding in the first eye period focuses on feeding and weaning. Feed a small amount of nutrient-rich, digestible and palatable feed, mix a small amount of minerals and antibiotics, feed 5-6 times a day, take a small amount of meals, and gradually increase until weaning. The key point of management is to separate the mother from the rabbit 15 days old and breastfeed every 12 hours. Change the mat grass frequently, and wash or replace the nest box. After each meal, the mother rabbit is taken to the playground for proper exercise. Check your health regularly.
6, health and epidemic prevention
It is rainy and humid in spring, which is the peak season for all kinds of diseases. During feeding, attention should be paid to moisture prevention and disease prevention. The health status of rabbits should be checked every day, and the rabbit house and rabbit cage should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized. It is best to clean the rabbit cage once a day and disinfect it every seven days. It is best to use a flame sterilizer regularly, which can not only disinfect but also reduce the humidity of the rabbit house. In rainy days, the ground can be covered with some quicklime and plant ash for disinfection, sterilization and moisture prevention. In addition, it is necessary to observe frequently and isolate and treat the sick rabbits in time, and strictly disinfect the cages.
Very promising, provided that you can do the following three things: first, technology, raising rabbits depends on technology and experience, because although rabbits breed quickly, they are easy to cause losses due to illness and other reasons. Second, financial resources, breeding is risky, investment needs to be cautious, rabbit breeding also needs capital investment, and large-scale breeding needs a lot of capital investment. Third, the ability, the rabbit is raised, how to sell it? Need strong market development ability. Otherwise, we can only passively let the middlemen lower the price, and in the end, we may not only make money, but also lose money.
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. My aunt's family keeps rabbits. Judging from her development in recent years, I feel that it is still promising.
My relatives are mainly meat rabbits, which have strong reproductive ability, short growth cycle and are easy to sell in the market. Meat rabbits are raised to eat meat, mainly for markets and restaurants. In recent years, the consumption of rabbit meat in our area has been significantly improved again, and braised rabbit head has become a special dish here. It has a great relationship with the level of China's economic development. The reason why rabbit meat is increasingly loved is that its health, nutritional value and new ways of eating rabbit meat have been recognized by the public.
I think it is also very important to choose the right species, such as meat rabbit, long-haired rabbit, rex rabbit, etc. Generally speaking, meat rabbit has a developing trend. It is difficult to raise rabbits well and make money. We need to consider and do well in all aspects, such as rabbit farm construction, introduction and purchase of rabbits, feeding management, feed nutrition, breeding, disease prevention and marketing, etc. Failure in any aspect may lead to rabbit breeding failure. I wish you early success.
I'm glad to answer your question. First of all, it is certain that raising rabbits makes money and the cost is not big. Rabbits are particularly fertile, grow very fast, and only eat plant feed, so the cost of raising rabbits is not high.
However, rabbits are easy to get sick, which is a headache, and the mortality rate will be very high, which is the biggest risk of raising rabbits. Therefore, before breeding, it is necessary to understand related technologies and disease control.
Finally, we analyze the income situation: the price of breeding rabbits is generally 350 to 600 yuan; The price of young rabbits is two or three hundred yuan each. Raising 100 hybrid rabbits can sell commercial rabbits 1280 a year. If one rabbit is 2 kg, the total is 2 kg * 1920 = 3,840 kg. If one rabbit is in 20 yuan, the sales of commercial rabbits can get 3,840 kg *20/ kg = 76,800 yuan.
The input cost of raising rabbits generally includes: seed purchase fee, feed fee, epidemic prevention fee, cage house fee, labor fee, etc. The total input of raising 100 hybrid rabbits is about 26,000 yuan per year, which is not expensive. The net income is close to 50 thousand yuan, and the income is still considerable.
I hope these can help you.
The prospect of raising rabbits is still good. Do the following analysis:
First, China has a long history of raising rabbits, and the masses have a foundation for raising rabbits. The number of rabbits raised and the quality of products are among the highest in the world at present, which has a high reputation. This is a great resource endowment for raising rabbits in China.
Second, China is faced with a large population and a severe situation in front of the grain industry. The grain production capacity can't meet the needs of various industries. The more severe the grain shortage is, it is an urgent need to vigorously develop the rabbit industry to optimize the production structure of animal husbandry, and the comprehensive utilization and development potential is still very great.
Thirdly, with the improvement of people's understanding of the special economic value of rabbit deep-processed products and the improvement of living standards, and the steady growth of foreign trade, the demand for rabbit products will definitely increase day by day, which will effectively promote the further development of rabbit industry.
I'm the Great Green Northern Wilderness, and welcome everyone to exchange ideas about agriculture, countryside and farmers.
I'm glad to answer your question. Compared with other livestock and poultry breeding projects, rabbit breeding has small investment and short cycle, so many rural entrepreneurs choose to raise rabbits. Is there any prospect for rabbit breeding in 2020? What kind of rabbits are suitable for rural farming? 1. Is there any prospect for rabbit breeding in 2020? The meat rabbit breeding cycle is short, the technology is simple, the cost is low, the sale is easy, and the long-term benefit is good. In addition, with the vigorous promotion of the national grain-to-feed policy, the rabbit industry will enjoy more and more national policy benefits, because raising rabbits occupies less land, causes less pollution, and is mainly herbivorous, so this is also an opportunity.

Rex rabbit is mainly used for skin production, and its cortex is excellent and its fur is dense and uniform. There are French Rex rabbit, American Rex rabbit and German Rex rabbit, among which the production performance of French Rex rabbit is relatively symmetrical, American Rex rabbit has good quality but its population is seriously degraded, and German Rex rabbit is big but its adaptability is slightly poor. 3. Long-haired rabbits are generally used for wool production and pet rabbit breeding. At present, the price of rabbit hair of long-haired rabbits is relatively good in the market, which is around 200 yuan per kilogram. According to the annual output of each rabbit1.5 kg of hair and the feeding cost 100 yuan, the annual profit of a single rabbit can reach around 200 yuan. However, in addition to the conditions for new rabbit farmers to reach in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises of rex rabbits and angora rabbits and choose rex rabbits and angora rabbits for breeding, it is more likely and safer to choose meat rabbits for breeding successfully. It is also suggested that while farmers win by quality, it is best to cooperate more closely with planting, processing and circulation through cooperatives or companies+farmers. I hope it will help you.
