This is because, a female rabbit can produce at least 24kg of meat per year, amounting to about 0.46 kg of dressed rabbit meat per week( about a third of a family's dietary need). This compares to 0.16 kg of dressed meat per week from a female grass-cutter. However, all the three small mammals have a potential to double their meat production per breeding female in a year under improved management system.Lengaritehttp://www.kari.org/index.php?q=content/homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33533642.post-38292892116729503142011-09-21T13:44:25.218+03:002011-09-21T13:44:25.218+03:00Rabbit keeping like other small mammals such as gu...Rabbit keeping like other small mammals such as guinea pig, grass-cutter is mostly on a smallholder basis. This is because the cost per animal is low compared to larger species like cattle or even goats. Small mammals are convenient to slaughter at home, in that the meat can be consumed at one meal without the need for storage. For example, assuming low level of losses, a group of 12 female guinea pig and one or two breeding males will provide sufficient offsprings to allow for an average consumption of one animal per week throughout the year.Husseinhttp://www.kari.org/index.php?q=content/kari-marsabitnoreply@blogger.com
