Benefit Analysis of breeding long-haired Rabbit

Zhu Xiangming, Huangdian Town, Lanxi City, called to consult: he raised long-haired rabbits many years ago. Later, due to the decline in the price of rabbit hair, the benefit was not good, so they gave up breeding. I am idle at home this year and want to do some breeding again. What is the benefit of raising long-haired rabbits now?

Deputy reporter: at present, rabbit hair is widely used in the market to make fabrics, the demand for rabbit hair has increased sharply, and domestic rabbit hair products are in short supply.

According to reports, long-haired rabbits are small herbivores, which can be caged and easy to manage. Raising long-haired rabbits is a natural and environment-friendly project that does not compete for land for grain. In addition to special feed, crop scraps such as radish leaves, pod shells, sweet potato vines, wild herbs, bitter hemp, paulownia leaves, mulberry leaves and artificial forages can be used as green fodder for rabbits.

In terms of economic benefits, the cheapest long-haired rabbit hair is 62 yuan per 500 grams. Based on the calculation of raising 20 adult female rabbits, excluding the expenses of feed, cultivation, rabbit cage construction, vaccine, medical treatment, water and electricity, the net income is about 20,000 yuan a year.
