Introduction
Introduction: Rabbit breeding costs are low and its reproductive ability is strong, why hasn’t it become a popular meat?
In rural areas, chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are relatively common poultry and livestock. Moreover, these animals are widely farmed because they are of high value and are all very common edible meat.
But some people are very curious, that is, rabbit meat is very delicious, but few people raise it in rural areas, and even in the market.
Compared with common animals such as chickens and ducks, rabbits are not expensive to breed, and their reproductive ability is also very strong. Why are they not breed in large quantities and become a kind of mass edible meat?
actually has three main disadvantages.
Introduction to rabbit
Rabbit is a very cute little animal. It is widely distributed in my country, both wild and some are breeding. As we all know, rabbits are herbivorous animals.
They can not only eat a lot of grass in the wild, but also like to eat radishes, vegetables, etc. Relatively speaking, the food sources are relatively wide, so the cost of breeding is lower.
At the same time, rabbits have a good reproductive ability, and this animal can become an adult in half a year. Rabbits can give birth multiple times a year after adulthood, and most breeds can give birth 5-6 times a year, and the number of a litter is as high as 8-10.
Judging from this number, rabbits have a good reproductive ability. This is also why in recent years, hares in some mountainous areas have become more prevalent, causing considerable losses to farmers.
Logically speaking, rabbits have good meat quality and are not cheap in the market. In addition, their breeding costs are not high and their breeding ability is very strong. Why is it not loved by farmers and promoting breeding in rural areas?
. Although some places have developed breeding of rabbits in recent years, it has a significant decrease compared to the past. Why is this? In terms of
, Xiaomao also asked some friends around him who were engaged in breeding, and they also expressed their opinions. Among the many breeding projects, they do not prefer to breed rabbits. To sum up, there are the following reasons:
First point, rabbit breeding is prone to illness.
The old saying often says: A family has a fortune, but the one with fur is not counted. What we are talking about is that the breeding industry has great risks. Rabbit breeding is a higher risk than other animals. This kind of small animals looks cute, they look very cute.
But they have one fatal disadvantage, that is, they are prone to illness during the breeding process. Moreover, many of these diseases are highly contagious. If one is infected, it will soon suffer, and the rest may all be infected and die.
It is precisely because of the high risk of raising rabbits that many farmers dare not try it easily.
Second point, breeding costs are low, but breeding is very troublesome.
In rural areas, many farmers like to raise chickens and ducks, or animals such as cattle and sheep, but they dare not raise rabbits. It is because raising rabbits is more troublesome than the previous animals.
Like raising chickens and ducks in rural areas, you can basically just be responsible for feeding them in the morning and evening, and the same is true for raising cattle and sheep. But breeding rabbits are different, they have higher requirements for the growth environment.
is also prone to various difficulties during breeding. For example, rabbits have many natural enemies in rural areas, and even mice may harm them. What's more, most farmers do not have the experience of raising rabbits, and lack of experience is also the key reason why countless people want to raise but dare not raise them.
Let me ask you, raising a few may not necessarily make you live, and raising a group will be even more troublesome. Not only is it more difficult, but the risk is much higher.
Third point, the market demand is not large.
is currently in China. Sichuan is the province that loves to eat rabbits. It is said that hundreds of millions of rabbits are consumed in a year, so Sichuan is also a major province for rabbit breeding.
However, in other places, it is rare to see people selling rabbits, and few people buy rabbits to eat them. Many people have never eaten rabbits, let alone eaten them, but they can’t even cook them after buying them.
rabbits are not in demand, there are not many people who like to eat, and even fewer people who can make them. If a large number of rabbits are raised, then everyone will probably understand the result, even if it is low prices, it may not be sold.
After all, rabbits are a niche meat, and the number of people who like to eat it is limited. It doesn’t mean that you can sell it if you raise it. For farmers, since they raise rabbits not for themselves, but for money. It is precisely because many people consider this and understand that the market for rabbits is limited and they dare not breed them.
Conclusion
In summary, rabbits also have three major shortcomings. Breeding is prone to death, and the market demand is not large. At the same time, many people lack technology. After all, breeding chickens and ducks is relatively simple, and many people have been influenced by them since childhood.
However, many people have never seen rabbit breeding, and they have completely zero experience in technology. In addition, there are too many examples of failed breeding in recent years.
In the early years, bamboo rat , nutria , etc. Many people have seen too many failed cases, so they have no courage to try.
But if there is really technology, solid technology as support, and stable sales channels, then there is still a lot to do with rabbits.
Dear friends, what do you think is the reason why rabbits have not become the public eating meat? Everyone is welcome to add in the comment section below.
