Rabbit Forming

Hello Sir
Rabbits like other domestic animals, may be bred and reared at various intensities.
Rabbits can be mated at almost any time and when mating is successful the doe will kindle 30 to 32 days later.
The doe should be checked for pregnancy 10 days after mating and, if necessary, re-mated.
A shortened interval between kindling and mating will obviously result in increasing number of litters per doe and year.
Commercial producers aim at getting at least 6 litters per year with 7 kids weaned per litter, i.e. 42 kids per doe each year.
However, with intensive production the breeding doe may have to be replaced every one to 1.5 years, while in a semi-intensive system, she may last for 3 years.
Replacement does can be bred for the first time at 5 months of age.
A balanced diet fed in adequate amounts, good sanitation, disease control, appropriate housing and equipment and good care are all important factors when aiming at lower mortality and higher daily gain.
The mortality in a well managed rabbit unit should be below 20% from birth to slaughter.
Management Practices and Production Efficiency Related to the Intensity in the Rabbit Production
Extensive Greens (8 - 10 weeks):
Age of young at weaning:8 - 10 weeks
Number of litters per doe, year: 3 - 4
Number of young weaned per doe, year: 10-20
Age of young at slaughter: 30-30 weeks
Daily grain during fattening: 10-15g
Production of cold dressed meat per doe, year: 15 -25 kg
Semi-intensive Greens/ concentrates (4 - 6 weeks) (or remating 1 - 2 days after weaning.
Age of young at weaning:6-8 weeks
Number of litters per doe, year: 5-6
Number of young weaned per doe, year: 30-40
Age of young at slaughter: 12-15 weeks
Daily grain during fattening: 20-30g
Production of cold dressed meat per doe, year: 40-60 kg
Intensive Concentrates (1 - 2 weeks)
Age of young at weaning:4-5 weeks
Number of litters per doe, year:8-10
Number of young weaned per doe, year: 50-60
Age of young at slaughter: 10-13 weeks
Daily grain during fattening: 25-30g
Production of cold dressed meat per doe, year: 75-100 kg
Where are u located and how many rabbits u want to rear

Hello Friends
It is learned that there is no market of rabbit meat,
The farmer has to generate the market
In rabbit farming all the things has there ways but the most of the baby rabbit/doe dies after 40 days, this is a very painful matter for the farmer, so before starting a very large scale u have to start initially with 2-4 rabbits if the results are possitive then
proceed with your business
thanks
