Rabbit Production

 
Nityanand Pathak (Author) Usha Rani Mehra (Author) Kishor Kumar Baruah (Author)
Synopsis

Rabbit farming for fur felt fibre and meat production is well developed commercial venture in many countries. However, in Bharat it is still limited to backyard farming except few big farms in the Himachal Pradesh. Animal soft fibre production in the country is much less than the requirements of woolen clothes manufacturing mills. In spite of low feed requirement and easy management rabbit farming is growing at a very slow rate and we are importing large quantity of Angora rabbit wool annually. Few good books are available on the nutrition of rabbit but there appears to be the lack of a comprehensive book on rabbit production. Therefore, we attempted to prepare a comprehensive book covering all important aspects of rabbit production. Bharat is deficient in wool and meat production and expansion of rabbit farming will not only boost the production, it will be also a remunerative enterprise of more profit on low capital input.
