Rabbit scientists have advocated for years that a tremendous potential exists for rabbits in the lesser-developed countries (LDC’s), based on the virtues of the rabbit, documented decades ago in the classic paper by Owen (1976). This potential has been realized in certain LDC’s, such as Cameroon, China, Egypt, Ghana and Mexico. Suffice it to say, rabbit projects that are designed, in part, to meet the above “sustainable and alternative” classification, would more than likely succeed compared to projects that ignore these critical aspects. Some scientists would argue also that rabbit production, itself, represents an alternative to traditional agriculture production systems involving the major commodity species of livestock. Furthermore, there are alternatives to intensive or commercial-scale rabbit production, such as low-cost rearing of meat rabbits in small numbers supported largely by on-farm resources (described herein as the small-scale rabbit production model [SSRPM]), to foster food security for limited-resource farmers.
