Synopsis

Rabbit farming, or cuniculture, is the practice of breeding and raising domestic rabbits for various purposes including meat, fur, manure, laboratory use, and as pets. In many parts of the world, rabbit production is now recognized as a viable and sustainable branch of livestock farming, capable of supplementing income for both smallholders and commercial producers. Unlike traditional large-animal husbandry, rabbit farming requires minimal space, moderate investment, and manageable daily labor, making it particularly appealing for rural farmers, urban dwellers, and youth agripreneurs.
Modern rabbit farming has evolved from backyard hobby keeping into a structured commercial practice supported by research institutions and extension services. The enterprise combines aspects of animal science, agribusiness, and environmental management. Its growth is driven by the global demand for lean, high-protein meat and the need for sustainable, small-footprint animal production systems. With their ability to thrive on locally available feed resources, reproduce rapidly, and adapt to various climatic conditions, rabbits represent an important solution for improving food security and livelihoods.
Rabbit production can be managed at various scales: from small household units producing meat for family consumption to large commercial enterprises supplying markets and restaurants. Efficient breeding programs, improved housing systems, and modern feed formulations have greatly increased productivity. In many developing countries, rabbit farming projects have been introduced to address malnutrition and unemployment while promoting self-reliance through low-cost livestock ventures.
