The breeding prospect of hare

Hare breeding in China has unique conditions: rich in grass resources, suitable climate conditions, most areas have the conditions for hare breeding; hare resistance, strong adaptability, fast growth and development, low cost and large benefits. Generally, it can be sold on the market after 3 months, and the domestic breeding quantity is scarce, less than 1% of the market demand, and the products are in short supply. European countries consume 5-6 kilograms of rabbit meat per person per year. Due to insufficient supply in their own countries, they import a large amount of rabbit meat from China. In addition, old books, South Korea, Russia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have also frequently asked for goods from the mainland, and the demand has soared, especially after China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the scope of export will be expanded, the sales channels will be wider, and the market potential will be huge. this has created an excellent space for the development of China's rabbit industry. Therefore, if hare breeding can form large-scale production, it will achieve obvious economic benefits, and the prospect is very promising.

Hare is a kind of special wild herbivorous economic animal with both skin, hair and meat, which mainly feeds on all kinds of weeds, green vegetables, leaves and so on. After years of domestication, the hare has changed its timidity, fear and some bad habits of the rabbit, while maintaining the characteristics of the wild hare, such as strong resistance, large size, strong cold resistance and wide adaptability (it can grow healthily in both the south and north of China), but the average meat yield has doubled. At present, the consumption of rabbit meat market is exuberant, which ensures the benefit of breeding.

The meat of the hare is delicate and mellow, which belongs to Shanzhen game. It is designated as "beauty meat" and "health meat" by the World Rabbit Association. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the pursuit of delicacy, nutrition, nourishment, health care, taste fresh has become a new trend of consumption. Since the 1990s, pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and other livestock and poultry have used a large number of formula feed containing additives and oxytocin, resulting in a decline in meat quality, and even side effects, which is not conducive to human health, resulting in people's preference for herbivorous livestock and poultry.

The hare sheet skin has fine fiber, soft after leather making, good elasticity and air permeability, and can be tanned into plain leather, wrinkled leather, suede leather and high-grade oil tanned leather.
