Why Is Rabbit Farming Unsuccessful? Analysis of Nine Common Problems

1. The hardware facilities and environment for rabbit farming fail to meet the good survival and growth needs of domestic rabbits, so the rabbits are plagued by disease from the very beginning.

  2. Long-term feeding of nutritionally incomplete feed is another main reason commonly found among rabbit farmers for unsuccessful rabbit farming.

  3. Long-term low-dose use of anti-coccidial drugs, with no way to strictly control the dosage given, leads to failure in controlling coccidia.

  4. Long-term neglect of parasite prevention and control is the third critical problem behind unsuccessful rabbit farming among farmers.

  5. Long-term addition of antibiotics to feed, causing disruption of the intestinal flora environment in rabbits, is another commonly existing critical problem behind unsuccessful rabbit farming among farms and households.

  6. Having no set of practical and feasible methods for disease prevention and eradication, being at a loss when disease strikes, and treating it blindly and chaotically is another critical problem among farmers.

  7. Long-term feeding of low-standard, low-quality breeding rabbits and neglect of improving quality is another important reason for the low returns of farms and households.

  8. Another main reason for unsuccessful rabbit farming is the serious problem of waste in every link of domestic rabbit breeding.

  9. Guiding farming with backward traditional thinking, paying attention only to learning rabbit farming techniques while neglecting improvement of overall quality, is the most important reason for the rabbit farming failure of farms and households.
