Culling To Increase Production

Hello and Welcome to Why Farm Meat Rabbits:

I believe very strongly that you need to cull out all the bad habits, That can creep into your Rabbit breeding operations,It is a fact that rabbits don't make profitable breeders.

Some just do not have the ability to produce, the numbers of bunnies and grow them out to meat sizes.So Why Farm Meat Rabbits:
There can be many causes for this, Like to much inbreeding, no ability to have enough milk, for young bunnies, only two or three teats for kits to suckle, lack of stamina, for the little bunnies to live,only able to have 2 or 4, kits, and a boost of other reasons.
The following is just a rule of thumb we use to cull at our Rabbit Farm.

So after looking at all the problems, i ask you again Why Farm Meat Rabbits;The Reason we cull the males called Bucks; That Buck, that sits over in the corner with no interest in the female or Doe as she is called, when taken to him. For Breeding.
Also the Buck that becomes to aggressive with the Doe when she is put into his cage to breed her, he bites her, and hurts her, a pattern of small litters, 2 to 6, kits are born each breeding.

The kits produced, from breeding do not come up to the standards you breed for; After the second look at physical make up of body traits you decide the buck should have never been chosen for a breeder in the first place.So until next couple of days when we will talk a bit about why not to breed with a rabbit because he looks pretty what you might find out so till then ask yourself Why Farm Meat Rabbits cya:
