In a country with a $41 billion broiler chicken industry, this might seem like a pretty bold statement, but it’s hardly unsubstantiated. And yet while media has been abuzz about the supposed super protein, very few farmers are stepping up to meet the rapidly increasing interest in sustainably raised rabbit meat. This is partly due to the lack of available resources in the field of rabbit husbandry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaising Pastured Rabbits for Meat \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to address the growing trend of ecological rabbit husbandry for the beginning to market-scale farmer. Inspired by Daniel Salatin, who has long been considered the pioneer in integrated rabbit farming, Nichki Carangelo proves that a viable pasture-based rabbitry is not only possible and user-friendly, it’s also profitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Carangelo’s approach, happy, healthy rabbits are seasonally raised outside on pasture, using a pasture and wire hybrid system that promotes natural behaviors and a diverse diet, while effectively managing the associated risks. \u003ci\u003eRaising Pastured Rabbits for Meat \u003c\/i\u003eoffers valuable information on how farmers can build their own rabbit enterprise from scratch and includes tips on breed selection, breeding techniques, nutrition guidelines, record keeping tools, slaughtering and butchering instructions, marketing advice, and enterprise guides to help farmers plan for profitability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is an essential guide for anyone interested in integrating rabbits onto a diversified farm or homestead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Nichki Carangelo’s \u003ci\u003eRaising Pastured Rabbits for Meat\u003c\/i\u003e is like a long chat with a warm and generous friend who’s sharing advice based on her own experience, hard won from both her successes and her mistakes (which you won’t have to repeat).

Today she manages livestock and direct markets for the farm, while squeezing in research and organizing work on the side where she can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45318369935521,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781603588324","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/raising-pastured-rabbits-for-meat-paperback-by-nichki-carangelo","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
