Section 2: Differences Between Breeding Rabbits and Regular Rabbits

Breeding rabbits are a type of rabbit breed known for their strong reproductive capabilities, and they are both edible and suitable for decorative purposes. On average, breeding rabbits have tender meat and are rich in nutrients. Their skins are also excellent for industrial leather, and their fur has high value. Breeding rabbits are widely distributed around the world, although their numbers are relatively low. These rabbits require highquality care, primarily with fresh green feed, supplemented by a moderate amount of concentrated feed. Their living environment must be kept clean, with appropriate temperature and humidity.

Commodity rabbits refer to rabbits born from breeding rabbits. After careful breeding, they can potentially become a new strain or breed, but this process takes a long time, usually around 5 to 6 years, and involves a large number of breeding rabbits. The offspring's production speed, disease resistance, and other aspects may not necessarily exceed those of their parents.

Breeding rabbits and commodity rabbits are difficult to distinguish visually. Breeding rabbits usually undergo a strict breeding program and, more formally, may have individual ear tags, records, and pedigrees. Good breeding rabbits can be selected based on factors such as wellgroomed, smooth, and shiny fur, normal appearance without deformities or diseases, a sleek and beautiful body shape, healthy and intact reproductive organs, and no abnormal secretions from the eyes, nose, or ears.

The main differences between commodity rabbits and breeding rabbits are:

Commodity rabbits are often sold at a higher price after being handled by humans. However, their reproductive capabilities are lower than those of breeding rabbits. Therefore, if raising them in large numbers, breeding rabbits are the better choice. Breeding rabbits have a more stable reproductive performance, produce more offspring, and the offspring tend to be more robust in size and health.

The Oxygen Pet Doctor reminds you: In reality, most breeding rabbits are selected from commodity rabbits through a rigorous process. Breeding requires a strong background in husbandry experience and expertise.
