Rabbit meat is tender and has a sweet flavour in addition to being rich in proteins and contains low levels of cholesterol. Combine these qualities with the global rise in prevalence of lifestyle diseases and you have a product whose market demand you cannot satiate. Indeed, there is a global surge in demand for rabbit meat.
Rabbits are relatively easy to keep as they can be fed on cheap and readily available feed with little pellet supplements. You don’t need a lot of space and the initial capital to obtain your breeding stock is minimal. Rabbits are prolific animals and can give birth to up to 40 baby rabbits a year. If you start off with three does (female rabbit) and one buck (male rabbit) by end of one year you will have more than 100 rabbits. Rabbits mature fast at six months they attain maturity and are ready for market or breeding.
