Why aren't rabbits bred commercially for meat in large numbers?

>> No.8638714

Not very economical due to a number of reasons.

The amount of meat return for your investment (feed) is small.
Very niche market, since not many people are interested in rabbit meat.
You'd need a huge amount of rabbits for the same meat yield as a single cow.

Rather than rabbit, I feel like Americans don't eat enough duck or goose.

Also, those books I was forced to read in middle school kept praising Pheasants and hunting them by feeding them raisins socked in alcohol.

Also, goat and lamb disappeared from American Cuisine due to a war between cattle farmers and goat/lamb farmers.

Apparently, when cars didn't exist yet and horse carriages were still common.

A bunch of cattle farmers and goat farmers were competing for land and a short war was fought and the legal system and masses sided with cattle farmers which is why we end up here today with beef popular and goat or lamb meat not really being mainstream enough for the American to eat on a daily basis.

Don't know if this event actually happened though.

Feed efficiency is probably not enough to justify the yield.

For example, poultry converts 1.8 kg of feed to 1 kg of meat. Pigs is around 3.5 to 1. Rabbit is also around 3.5 to 1. But pigs have other uses with their by products while rabbits have almost no useful by products.

So with the same feed efficiency as pigs. Rabbits are not worth rearing.

>> No.8639899

>>8639887
cont.

Furthermore, the best method for mass rabbit rearing is cage, like chicken. But as aforementioned, chicken has twice the feed efficiency.

You also need special care for breeding, unlike chicks, rabbit babies requires nursing up to half a year. Chicken can mature in a month.

So it's just not worth the effort. In order for mass rabbit farming, the demand would need to be extremely high.
Rabbit is something people can do at their backyard, feed them veggie scraps and harvest them 3 or 4 times a year.

I've only had rabbit once, but it was almost tasteless and tough. Some of the worst meat I've ever had, but I suppose there's a chance it was just cooked poorly. I'd imagine that's one reason it's not produced commercially.

I don't understand this thread. Rabbitries that breed rabbits for meat commercially do exist, but rabbit meat has declined in popularity in the U.S. over the past century so most stopped and moved onto other things. Now they're mostly farmed as side-projects. Same reason you don't see frog farms anymore.

Unless you're talking about breeding rabbits in factory farms, in which case they do in Asia where the meat and fur are in higher demand.

You can't really keep rabbits on a concrete floor just like you can't keep chickens on a concrete floor.

You can dig a trench around the pen and place the cage wire several feet underground, but in a large pen, even that doesn't guarantee capture.

It takes a long time for artificial selection to work its magic, though, even in a species that breeds as quickly as rabbits. The return on investment just isn't high enough.

Yep. The funniest part is that the breeder was a sappy old Communist from what used to be East Germany (before FREEDOM happened), and he gave his best rabbits to North Korea in the spirit of Communist fraternity to support the last hardcore Communist country on the planet.

Yep, your body uses either fat or carbs for energy. Your body can use a small amount of protein for energy but after a certain point your body starts failing. Basicall rabbits are so low in fat content if you only eat them you will die.

I just pop a few with a 22 in my garden. Great stew meat. I hate cleaning them. Their muscles always spasm.

>> No.8649775

Dad used to breed em a while back. He built wooden pens though and the fuckers ever so slowly but surely began to chew through it. Great meat, it fits the "like chicken" meme but with a subtle yet definite je ne sais quoi. Super fucking lean, some of the purest protein out there short of whey powder, so /fit/ approves.

First time I ever saw an animal being sacrificed was when dad whacked them in the back of the head with a big stick (knocked out cold instantly, theres a brief spasm but its pure reflex), hung them on a literal cross upside down and lopped the heads off with the chef's knife to finally off them. I expected it to be more impactful. Not trying to be edgy or anything, I just took it much more nonchalantly than I though I would. Sorry about this Cuddles, but were still going to eat you. Also thanks.

Dad did get a glancing blow in once out of the hundred times he did it, however. Cuddles was on the ground with his hind legs in my dads grasp and he was staying quiet, but he shifted his body just as the bludgeon was coming down. It wasn't even a reaction or anything, the rabbit must have just been in an uncomfortable position or something. The loudness of the screeching was kind of a shock but dad immediately got a very solid hit right in the back of the skull not a second later, and then very quickly hung and decapitated. He fixed his mistake as fast as he could, but it left him in a noticeably bad mood for the rest of the day. He might not have had any qualms about killing them for food but he really did give a shit about making it as easy on the bunnies as possible. When shit like that happens it really sucks.

Next time we get to building cages I'm probably going to be the one on abattoir duty. Also, best part of a rabbit is by far the liver.

>Chickens are naturally fatty animals, which is why everywhere the world over made it a staple meat of their diet
Or because it's a small animal that requires a minimum of skill and care to keep in a household, and it'll subsist on scraps and what it can forage in a relatively small space.
Further add that it produces value (eggs) for a significant part of its lifetime.

Frankly, I suspect the latter is far more important than its body fat percentage; consider how many commonly eaten "farmed" animals add some sort of value while alive:
Sheep, goats and cattle all produce milk, while the two former also can be shaven for fur/wool.
Horses are excellent for physical labour and warfare (although neither is particularly relevant these days).
Only pigs are unusual in that they don't really offer anything for the household - they do however eat just about anything.

Not true. Cows convert 12% of what they eat into protein. Rabbit's : 20-24%.

THIS.

I don't think that they taste bad though. Their meat just tends to be a little dry, very low on fat.
