Economic Value and Technical Strategy of Planting Grass and Breeding Rabbits
Planting grass and raising rabbits can bring significant economic benefits. First, it leads to a substantial increase in income. For instance, planting Winter grazing 70 rye in winter fields allows for a growth period of 5 to 6 months, with 3 to 4 harvests per season. Each mu (about 0.15 acres) can yield 3 to 5 tons of fresh grass, equivalent to 600 to 800 kilograms of hay. Raising 200 rabbits per acre, and considering market prices, after deducting the costs of seeds, rabbit breeds, and fertilizers, each rabbit can generate over 10 yuan. This results in a net income increase of more than 1,500 yuan per mu.
Second, this system emphasizes synergy. Pasture not only promotes rabbit growth but also enhances their reproductive rates and fur quality. Grass can be fed directly as green feed or processed into grass flour, which can make up 20% of the feed mix. This significantly lowers feed costs and improves overall efficiency.
When choosing pasture grass species, three key factors should be considered: preference by rabbits, adaptability to local conditions, and high yield and quality. Suitable options in our province include Mexican corn, high Dan grass, winter grazing 70 rye, annual ryegrass, bitter leeks, chicory, and alfalfa. These grasses offer high nutritional value, long usage periods, good palatability, and strong resistance to pests and diseases, reducing production costs and pesticide use.
Promoting the grass and rabbit farming model is highly beneficial. There are several production modes, such as direct grass feeding, legume-based feeding, leafy pasture feeding, and mixed planting systems. Each mode offers different advantages depending on the type of grass used and the needs of the rabbits.
In addition, integrating pastures with food crops like wheat and maize creates efficient land use. Rotating wheat with grasses or intercropping during the wheat growing season helps maximize productivity. Similarly, planting grass under fruit trees such as mulberry and orchards can create a balanced ecological and economic system, where tree pruning waste can be used as feed and rabbit manure provides natural fertilizer.
This integrated approach not only increases income but also supports sustainable agricultural practices, making it a viable and profitable option for farmers.
