How Many Litters a Year Does a Rabbit Have, How Many Jin Does It Grow, How Long Does It Live, and the Cost and Profit of Raising 100

Rabbit is the general term for all genera under the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha in the class Mammalia. Commonly known as rabbit, it has many breeds, which can be divided into four major categories: meat rabbits, fur rabbits, laboratory rabbits and pet rabbits. So how many litters can it have in a year? How many jin can it grow? How long does it live? What are the costs and profits of raising 100? According to rabbit farmer Master Li, larger rabbits are about seven or eight jin, and smaller ones are three or four jin; domestic rabbits grow more slowly than wild ones.

How many litters can a rabbit have in a year?

Rabbits can give birth to baby rabbits every month, basically one litter a month. Rabbits are animals with a double uterus and have well-developed reproductive capacity, which not all animals possess. Of course, to protect the rabbits, generally rabbits are only allowed to have about 6 litters a year, with about 7-8 per litter. Calculated this way, a rabbit can give birth to about 50 rabbits in a year.

When a rabbit grows up and begins to be in heat, the male rabbit often vigorously strikes the ground with its hind legs to make a sound, and chases after the female rabbit. During this period it is easy to distinguish the male from the female. This behavior of the male rabbit is courting the female rabbit and showing the other party that it exists. When the female rabbit is in heat, it can secrete a special odor and raises its tail, constantly swinging it, so that the secreted odor spreads outward, thereby luring the male rabbit.

What are the costs and profits of raising 100 rabbits?

Rabbit farming investment can be large or small. Now let us take introducing 100 hybrid wild rabbits (80 female and 20 male) as an example to calculate how much money wild rabbit farming investment requires. Breeding rabbits are 100 yuan each, 100 in total = 10000 yuan. The survival rate of baby rabbits is calculated at 80%, female rabbits produce 5 litters per year, 6-8 per litter, and 80 female rabbits produce commercial rabbits per year as 80 female rabbits × 5 litters/year × 6 per litter × 80% = 1920. Each rabbit costs 3 yuan for epidemic prevention and medicine, totaling 5760 yuan for the whole year, infrastructure 3000 yuan, other 3000 yuan/year, and forage planting and processing costs about 5000 yuan/year. In summary, the investment for one year of hybrid wild rabbit farming is 10000+5670 yuan+3000+3000+5000=26760 yuan.

Raising 100 hybrid wild rabbits can sell 1280 commercial rabbits a year. Calculated at 2 kg per rabbit, the total is 2 kg * 1920 rabbits = 3840 kg. The market selling price of hybrid wild rabbits is about 20-30 yuan per kg. Calculated at 20 yuan per kg, selling commercial rabbits can obtain 3840 kg * 20/kg = 76800 yuan. Therefore, raising 100 hybrid wild rabbits can earn 76800 yuan - 26760 = 50040 yuan a year. Of course, this is according to the lowest standard purchase price. If recovered at 30 yuan per kg, then it is 3840 kg * 30/kg = 115200, and the annual profit from raising 100 hybrid wild rabbits is 115200-20760=94440 yuan.

How long can a rabbit live?

A rabbit reaches adulthood at four months. But for mating, male rabbits should be over five months old, and female rabbits should preferably be over six months old. If cared for well, a lifespan of 5—10 years is not a problem. Of course, there are also those in their teens.
