What are the development directions for rabbit farming?

Rabbit farming has become commonplace in China, and the farming directions have largely become fixed. Different market orientations come with different farming priorities, so what are the mainstream rabbit farming directions today? And what does each require special attention to? Qinong Net shares some relevant information here.

1. Meat rabbits

Meat rabbit farming is the preferred direction for many farmers, because market demand is stable, farmers generally understand the overall situation fairly well, and meat rabbit is indeed a fairly popular type of meat nowadays. This kind of farming focuses on rapid fattening, the feed given is mostly easy to digest and absorb, and the breeds chosen tend to be those with fast growth rates. The selling price of rabbit meat in China is still relatively high, so generally speaking this farming method suits most farmers.

2. Fur and skin rabbits

This direction emerged as an extension of the later development of China's garment industry, with higher requirements for rabbit fur and skin, which are processed into various types of apparel. Before farming, many people first find garment processors, which makes things much more secure. This type focuses on protecting the gloss of the fur and skin; fattening is no longer the only priority, and the feed given is mostly things that help the fur and skin grow better and more glossy. Daily attention to hygiene is also very important in this category, and demand for it is also growing quickly every year.

3. Ornamental rabbits

These are mostly used for sales as pets and the like, but they are not suitable for large-scale farming. Market demand rises year after year, and this is also a very common direction chosen by farmers. Ornamental rabbits do not focus on fattening; if they get fat they are hard to sell. What matters is health and liveliness, and during farming you need to handle the rabbits often and carry out fine-tuned management to ensure the rabbits do not develop a tendency to fear people. When selecting breeding stock, choose breeds that are relatively small in size and relatively cute, and the varieties also need to be diverse to meet more people's needs.

4. Ecological rabbits

This is the most steady step the rabbit farming industry has taken in adapting to modern models, mostly aimed at various ecological farms or ecological parks and similar places. There are no great requirements for breed; it is best if they have strong adaptability, and greater breed diversity is of course more helpful for making profit. The mode of operation is roughly to provide rental or sales services to these places. Later, when the rabbits on hand become too many to manage, they can also be sold as pet rabbits.
