Last Updated: 2024/11/05, The Rex rabbit breeding industry in China is also developing rapidly.

Rex rabbit is the king of rabbits and has become a precious dual-purpose rabbit in the world which mainly produces fur and meat. From the 1930s to the early 1980s, several batches of Rex rabbit provenances were introduced from the United States, New Zealand, Germany and other countries, due to various reasons such as the fluctuation of the fur market and the single pursuit of economic benefits by some units. as a result, the degradation of Rex rabbit breeds in China is quite serious. From Fujian and Zhejiang to Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Beijing, we investigated more than 60 rex rabbit farms from south to north and found that the body weight of rex rabbits could reach 4 kg. And the cashmere content is also far below the export requirements.

With the rise of the price of rabbit skin in the international market in the past two years, China's Rex rabbit breeding industry has also developed rapidly. due to the degradation of varieties, nearly 100000 pieces of Rex rabbit skins exported from Xinji and Xinji in 1997 have been returned. Rex rabbit skins are in great demand in the international market. Rabbit skins that meet the export standards are worth US $10 per piece.

For this reason, the introduction of rabbits twice in China has brought the Rex rabbit breeding industry to a new level. They are characterized by large size and high cashmere content, which meet the export standard of Rex rabbit skin in China. Using them to cross with the existing Rex rabbits in China can improve the quality of commercial Rex rabbits in China. For this reason, the relevant farmers and farmers should pay attention to the introduction of breeding rabbits, and should adopt scientific breeding methods to improve the quality of breeding rabbits and improve the grade of commercial rabbit skin.
