🔥 DID YOU KNOW? 🔥

The New Zealand Rabbit is considered the #1 MEAT TYPE RABBIT in the world and for good reason.

🐇 GENETICS = FAST PROFITS
Carefully bred for generations, they are designed for rapid growth, strong litters, and consistent meat quality.

⚡ INSANE GROWTH RATE
From birth to butcher weight in just 8–12 weeks, faster turnover means faster income.

🥩 MEAT > BONE (HIGH YIELD!)
They produce around 70–75% meat and only 25–30% bone, giving you more edible product per rabbit.

📏 SIZE & WEIGHT
• Average adult: 4–5.5 kg (9–12 lbs)
• Thick, meaty body built for production

🧠 BEHAVIOR MATTERS
• Calm and docile
• Easy to handle
• Perfect for beginners and commercial farms

💡 WHY FARMERS CHOOSE THEM
✔ Efficient feed conversion
✔ Consistent breeding performance
✔ High-quality lean meat

If you’re serious about rabbit meat production, New Zealand rabbits are not just an option, they’re the standard.

🐇 RABBIT MEAT : IS IT WORTH IT? 🤔

Curious about raising or consuming rabbit meat? Here’s a quick breakdown of its pros and cons based on real experiences 👇

✅ PROS :
⚪ One of the cleanest and healthiest animal proteins available. It is exceptionally lean, often containing less fat and cholesterol than chicken, beef, or pork. Additionally, it is high in protein, iron, and vitamin B12, making it a nutrient-dense choice. Tastes very similar to chicken

⚪ Almost nothing goes to waste:
– Meat for dishes
– Organs like liver and kidneys are edible
– Other parts can be used for pet treats
– Fur can be repurposed if processed properly

⚪ Rabbit manure is highly valuable, great fertilizer and can be used directly without composting

⚪ Space-efficient: rabbits can be raised in stacked or hanging cages

⚪ Can tolerate cooler temperatures well

⚠️ CONS :
⚪ Feed prices can be quite expensive depending on your area

⚪ Some small scale breeders lack proper biosecurity, which can affect quality and health

⚪ Mislabeling is common - some sellers claim “pure breeds” but sell smaller, mixed rabbits instead (research your breeder carefully!)

⚪ Limited Veterinary support - as rabbits are often classified as "exotic animals,” many vets have limited experience with them.

Because of this, raisers need to take extra initiative by learning basic rabbit health, common illnesses, and first aid care.

📚 This doesn’t replace veterinary help. It simply ensures you can respond quickly and properly while seeking guidance.

💡 Tip: Connect with experienced breeders, join communities, and keep learning to better care for your rabbits.
Rabbit raising isn’t just feeding and breeding, it’s also about being responsible for their health and welfare. 🐰💚

💭 Final Thought:
Rabbit farming has a lot of potential, but like any livestock business, success depends on proper knowledge, sourcing, and management.

Been thinking a lot lately…

Ibebenta ko na ba ngayon ang rabbit produce ko… or should I hold muna?

The economy feels unpredictable. Lahat ramdam feeds, gasolina, transport, pati presyo sa market. One moment okay, next moment biglang taas or baba.

Ang hirap mag-decide kung kailan papasok o lalabas.

So I keep asking myself…

👉 Do I sell now habang may demand pa?
👉 Or do I hold and wait for a better position?

Because honestly, hindi lang negosyo ang rabbits ko.

They’re security.

Pwede silang maging pagkain if needed.
Pwede ring pang-trade if things get tougher and cash becomes less reliable.

Sometimes it’s not just about profit… it’s about being prepared.

Kasi if things get worse, mas valuable yung may hawak kang real assets livestock, food, skills not just money sitting around.

Right now, I’m leaning towards holding.
Not out of fear… but out of strategy.

Observe. Adjust. Stay ready.

Ikaw, what would you do in this situation sell now or hold?
