Rabbits are versatile animals, farmed for their meat and fur, as
laboratory and show animals, and also as pets. This
well-established book continues to provide an overview of
domesticated rabbit production, covering topics such as breeding,
management, feeding and health. Now in its fully updated tenth
edition, it includes an expanded consideration of important issues
such as animal behavior and welfare and sustainable methods of
small-scale rabbit production. With chapters relating specifically
to international and backyard family rabbit production, pet
rabbits, rabbit shows, and angora wool production, this new
edition: - Includes new information on the latest methods of rabbit
reproductive management, including applications of artificial
insemination, estrous synchronization, embryo transfer, cloning,
and molecular genetics; - Tackles globally prevalent health issues
such as mucoid enteropathy (ME), epizootic rabbit enteropathy (ERE)
and rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD); - Reviews up-to-the-minute
developments such as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on food
production, opportunities of selling rabbits at farmers markets,
organic rabbit meat, raising of pastured rabbits, as well as new
projects addressing poverty alleviation and food security.
Providing updates on worldwide production trends, breeds, and
figures, as well as use of color photos throughout, this book is an
essential resource for anyone involved in rabbit production - from
novice to experienced breeders, trainers and managers of rabbit
projects, veterinarians and industry professionals.
