http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGWefUacuVM Rabbit rearing has the potential to improve the diets and income of many African households as well as soil fertility. Rabbits mature quickly and reproduce rapidly. In good conditions, a single doe can produce 60 kittens in a year. Theycan be fed garden and kitchen waste, take up little space and are quiet, making them suitable for urban and suburban environments. Rabbits can be of great social and economic value to both the family and the community at large. They provide meat, a source of fertility, and other products, and can be quickly sold for cash or turned into a nutritious meal when needed. With careful attention, they are not difficult to raise, and can be an important source of income and nourishment, especially because they can be raised by any member of the family.
