Noel Rabbit Meat
At NOEL, we see rabbits having a great potential as a meat source. In the future, it may well become one of the most important livestock species. In a world with a rapidly growing population to be fed, animals that can eat forages will have an advantage over those which must be fed grain. Rabbits can eat high-forage, low-grain food that is not used by humans. Of all livestock, rabbits utilize forage most efficiently. Furthermore, they grow quickly, reproduce readily and have a high degree of genetic diversity.
Rabbit meat is very nutritious. It has little unsaturated fat and cholesterol, making it good for coronary patients. It also has less sodium than red meat but contains about the same amounts of iron and vitamins.
Rabbit droppings and urine will form a good component of Organic farming
