Rabbit Agribusiness

Rabbit agribusiness can involve raising rabbits extensively, semi-intensively, or intensively. Extensively relies solely on forages and kitchen waste, while intensively depends totally on prepared feed. Semi-intensively uses forages supplemented with concentrate foods. Housing can be outdoor with appropriate design or indoor hutches providing good conditions. Rabbits are raised for pets, breeding stock, show animals, fur/hair, or meat. Their meat compares favorably to chicken, veal, and turkey in protein and calories. Common rabbit diseases include scabies, bloat, diarrhea, head lice, and common cold. Marketing strategies include getting to know customers, promotion, convenient location, internet marketing, and building customer relationships
