Success in rabbit production is impossible if you do not give enough attention to diet and provide wholesome feeds in adequate quantity every day.

Feed is one of the major expenses and each herd presents an individual problem. Select diets that are suited to the needs of your rabbits, whether you buy commercially prepared mixtures and/or pellets, or mix feeds yourself.
