In return I'd love to give you as much information about trade/ businesses in China. I am from Uzbekistan , but live and work in Beijing, China. Please contact me at: ali.jul03@gmail.com
@Rajesh Ghangas, Hi Rajesh Ghangas, Here are some points which you should keep in your mind before breeding rabbit.
- People call female rabbit to doe and male rabbit as buck. usually a small breed doe can mate at the age of 5 month and a buck can mate at 6 month old.
- Before breeding choose the best breed rabbit whose productivity is good genetically.
- Keep the ratio of one buck to ten doe but it is optional as one buck may be breed seven times in a week even you can use a buck twice a day.
- You can also mate rabbits of same breed but try using different colors. Try not to keep more than one rabbit in one cage when they are 3 months old.
- Before breeding, check the bottom of the cage of both the doe and buck for evidence of diarrhea or loose stools.
- usually the buck has less tendency to breed in the doe's cage so never bring the buck to doe's cage. when ready to breed always take the doe to buck's cage.

@amrit, HI amrit, It is really hard to say about the exact profit you will make from the business but if you want to enter into this farming business then i think it is probably much easier than what you think. You don't need much funds to start this business. You can also start with very low investment and grow as it goes. You can sell the rabbit skin and meat very easily in the market. The white skin is more popular and it has higher value than the colour skin.

1. Purchase Cages
2. Purchase watering system or water dishes or bottles to adhere to the cage (some rabbits prefer dish only)
3. Decide the type of food required to produce healthy rabbits 4. Pellets, Orchard, alfalfa or timothy grasses, and old fashioned hay. Dried papaya (paw-paw) or pineapple for digestive health.
5. Rabbits - Types: Can vary on what you decide to use the rabbit for farming.
Output considerations: Breeding and selling with or without pedigree as pet, produce or breeding bloodlines for show, Meat, Fur, Wool production, Fertilizer pellets for farm fertilizer. Never limit your use of the rabbit as it can feed and cloth the world. They are submissive creatures and easy scared so it is important to protect them very well and they will thrive and return your investment over the long run if you do selective breeding, culling and reinvesting in new bloodlines.
Marketing: You need to join a local market or co-operative and if none is available you may need to create one with a group of other rabbit farmers, or if you are specializing in meat you may deal with exotic meat suppliers, if you are wool production you should seek out fiber farmers such as sheep, alpaca and goat angoras to combine your efforts in production. If you wish to be independent then start your own website for retailing or wholesaling your product. Also you may have restaurants that may be interested in your product just make sure you have all licensing requirements meet to deliver a safe and legal food product. To market to restaurants and butchers you may need to design some recipe cards to inspire both them and their customers.
Lastly, run the numbers on a micro economic model on an excel spreadsheet to see what your setup costs are compare to your run costs (day to day or week to week) and estimate your returns of profit on what people or the market is willing to pay for such a product.
