Meat on the table

In todays short post I will highlight what three rabbits are capable of putting on the table.

Their basic needs are:

- Pellets 50kg [annual consumption] at N8000
- Hay grass 70kg [annual consumption] at N6000
- Feed supplements [annual] at N2000
- Misc. [annual] at N3000

Their reproductive circle is as follows:
A male and two females, with gestation period of 30 days and a litter size of 5-10 kits per birth.



From birth to wean age is 4 months.
Dressed weight of each weaned is approximately 1kg
Total dressed meat per year = 150kg

Meat prices:

Chicken 1kg = N1,250.00                                                       
Beef 1kg = N1,820.00                                                       
Turkey 1kg = N 1,600.00                                                                                                          
Goat per kg = N2,300.00                                                       
Veal 1kg = N1,400.00

Unlike myself, I don't know the quantity and quality of meat you consume annually. If you consume above 100kg, here is a possible estimate of your annual expenditure
Chicken 100kg x N1,250.00 = N125000.00
Beef 100kg x N1,820.00 = N182000.00
Turkey 100kg x N 1,600.00  = N160000.00
Goat 100kg x N2,300.00 = N230000.00
Veal 100kg x N1,400.00 = N140000.00

What the rabbits are offering:

Approximately 150kg dressed white meat devoid of cholesterol and rich in easily digestible protein annually

At what cost?

N19000 annually

Time consumed: 30hrs monthly

Almost too many analysis already. However, these are my targets:

• Cut down cholesterol and fat levels
• Cut down feeding cost
• Cut down belly fat
• Live a happier and healthy life
• Get more meat protein by eating more and more meat

What more?

You can easily increase the number of breeding females and multiply the meat yield since they reproduce fast and mature early.

Always remember that there are consequences to the artificial introduction of any chemical into processed foods that nature has not designed.
