In eco-rabbit farming there is a fourfold advantage in the reproductive performance of rabbits. For example, starting with ten females, you will be able to get forty ready-to-breed rabbits just in 5 months. In the next five months, the number will increase to 160, which will provide enough meat products for the whole region or even the country for a short period of time. It is important to note that in eco-rabbit farming, insemination occurs naturally every 4 months, without the use of artificial insemination methods, as is often the case on technological farms that use force insemination with artificial insemination up to 10 times a year. In our eco-rabbit farming we follow natural principles, which favours the physical health and welfare of the animals.
In general, the rabbit is among the most efficient animals in agriculture for a number of reasons such as:
High level of productivity: natural rabbit farming is an efficient way to produce high quality meat and pelts, because the rabbit is one of the most productive animals in terms of body weight to growth rate ratio. In just 90 days it grows to a marketable product and is ready to be sold. Compared to the technological method of breeding, the weight of a naturally raised rabbit is on average 50 grams less (Kotsubenko 2013), but with a special advantage, a healthy body. Eco-rabbits have pure meat without veterinary additives, which positively affects the quality of the product, in addition, they are raised in humane conditions.
The feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a significant indicator of rabbit breeding efficiency, which occupies leading positions in the world practice of animal breeding. Studies show that in rabbit breeding this ratio is 3.4 (T. Gidenne et all 2017), which means the consumption of 3.4 kg of feed to acquire 1 kg of weight gain. Compared to other livestock species, this ratio is among the best in agriculture, for example in cattle it is about 8.8 (Wilkinson, 2011), in pigs it is 4:1 and in poultry such as broiler chickens, which have the best results with a ratio of 1.5 (Qiang Huang et all 2022) of course for obvious reasons.
