About rabbits and hares

cpc code 02191 covers the production and rearing of rabbits and hares. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a source of high-quality protein and other valuable products. Rabbit and hare farming is particularly important in many developing countries, where they serve as an affordable and accessible source of nutrition. Within the broader agricultural sector, this industry contributes to the overall diversity and resilience of food production systems.

Production process

Rabbit and hare farming typically involves a combination of intensive and semi-intensive production methods. Key steps include breeding, feeding, housing, and health management. Farmers may use specialized hutches or pens to house the animals, and implement strict biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of diseases. Feed rations are carefully formulated to meet the nutritional needs of the animals, often incorporating a mix of grains, hay, and other feedstuffs.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for rabbit and hare production include breeding stock, feed (such as 01111 Wheat, 01121 Maize, and 01411 Hay and related forage crops), water, housing and equipment, and veterinary supplies. Farmers may also require access to land, labor, and capital to establish and maintain their operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the rabbit and hare industry are meat, fur, and other byproducts. The meat is often consumed locally or exported to international markets, while the fur may be used in the textile and fashion industries. Rabbit and hare manure can also be used as a valuable organic fertilizer.
