Prospects of Rabbit Breeding
The prospects of rabbit breeding are provided by the agricultural website directory:
1. Policy advantages: The state attaches great importance to the "three rural issues", and the top priority is to increase farmers' income. Rabbit breeding enters rural areas, gets close to farmers, and increases farmers' income. The working concept of "rabbit industry and three rural issues" conforms to the spirit of the country in solving the "three rural issues". Rabbit breeding not only has policy advantages, but also brings honor and opportunities to the rabbit industry.
2. Advantage of the rabbit benefit chain: Farmers breed Rex rabbits, after half a year, they can reach 5 catties. The current market price for medium-sized live rabbits is 8 yuan per catty, which means 40 yuan for 5 catties. Deducting the investment of no more than 20 yuan per rabbit, the net profit is 20 yuan. Selling 10,000 commercial rabbits yields a net profit of 200,000 yuan; traders who purchase Rex rabbit skins get a medium price of 35 yuan per skin, and exporting a Rex rabbit skin at a medium price of 60 yuan yields a net profit of 25 yuan, which amounts to 250,000 yuan for 10,000 skins; processing a Rex rabbit fur coat costs no more than 2,000 yuan, while exporting each piece fetches 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, yielding a net profit of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, amounting to 20 million to 30 million yuan for 10,000 pieces! Isn't this a big enterprise? The benefit chain of rabbit breeding will inevitably drive farmers to rapidly increase their income and accelerate the pace of building a moderately prosperous society in rural areas.
3. With the worldwide protection of wild animals, the supply of wild animal furs is decreasing year by year, and rabbit furs, especially Rex rabbit furs, can be used as substitutes.
4. Feed advantage: Rural areas have extensive grass feed resources. Through rabbit breeding, farmers can convert grass into rabbit meat, rabbit skin, and rabbit hair. Rabbit breeding is indeed a good way to turn grass into money and enrich themselves through grass.
5. Era advantage: The rabbit industry has dual advantages of safety and quality, meeting the need for people to improve their living standards and quality of life. Therefore, it is a fashionable industry of the 21st century.
6. Huge domestic sales potential for rabbit meat: As people's knowledge level and living standards improve, dietary structures are changing, and people begin to accept rabbit meat. People in southern China have long been accustomed to eating rabbit meat, and northerners are also starting to include rabbit meat in their "vegetable baskets." Even if each person consumes an additional one or two ounces of rabbit meat, that would mean 120 million pounds (or six million tons) for a population of 1.2 billion. It is evident that the domestic sales potential for rabbit meat in China is enormous.
7. Safety advantage: Rabbits are herbivores. They do not suffer from avian influenza, "mad cow disease," Disease No. 5, clenbuterol, dioxin, or harmful additives. They represent a clean patch in animal husbandry.
Through the inherent advantages and numerous other advantages of rabbits, whether from a technical perspective or an industry perspective, we should reevaluate rabbits!
Experts predict that the annual social benefits of China's rabbit industry could reach 10 billion yuan each for Rex rabbits, meat rabbits, and wool rabbits, becoming a highlight for increasing farmers' income through rabbit breeding.
