It is a myth that
raising rabbits is easy. Successful farmers are either well trained
or gain valuable experience with time
Often such farmers seem to have a natural talent for raising rabbits.
Nonetheless good training and development of special skills and experience
are necessary for steady meat production. The purpose of this book is
to assist rabbit project developers and scientists who target low-income
families with small-scale rabbit meat projects. As a supplement, the
latest information on the nutrient requirements of rabbits is available
at the WRSA website (at the menu page: (On-line Practical Scientific
Documents) and should be consulted as a guide.
