Rabbits are among the types of pets whose meat is a rich source of proteins, and contains low levels of fat and cholesterol, which makes them easy to digest, which prompts many to raise them, as it is one of the profitable projects, and in this study we will introduce you to the advantages of this project.

Advantages of the rabbit breeding project
- It is easy to raise large numbers of them in one place due to their small size.

- Young rabbits can be sold at the age of two months, which guarantees the return of the invested capital.

- it is considered fast-growing, which guarantees it as a rich source of meat, as it is possible to obtain approximately one kilogram of rabbit meat, bearing in mind that the rate of obtaining it is more than 25% of the rate of obtaining the same amount of beef.

First: rabbit costs:

500 mother x mother's price 230 EGP = 115,000 EGP

85 male x male price 280 EGP = 23,800 EGP

Total costs for rabbits  =115,000 + 23,800 = 138,800 EGP

Second, the cost of batteries:

1,100 eyes for weaning, males and females x eye price 120 EGP = 132,000 EGP

So the fixed costs =138,800 + 132,000 = 270,800 EGP

Third: Information about the method of education and nutrition:

The mother feeds on 300 grams of feed per day

The male is fed 200 grams of feed daily

The caliphate is fed 100 grams of feed daily until the age of 45, which is the age of sale.

Each mother gives birth to 6-7 rabbits on average after calculating the dead ones

The average price of a ton of unified fodder for females or males or for weaning = 6,200 EGP

The rabbit is a highly fertile animal that reproduces quickly and produces a large number of offspring. The mother gives birth to about 4 to 12 rabbits in one abdomen, with an average of 8 rabbits, and it is possible to obtain from them about 7 stomachs per year, and the average productive life of it reaches about 2-3 years. The average life The productivity of the male ranges from 6 months to two years, and the superiority rate is estimated at about 10-20% until the stage of weaning the young. Newborns are weaned when they reach the age of 28 days. The first vaccination takes place at the age of (5-6 months) and the gestation period in rabbits is 31 days. A male is used One for every (5-10 females).

Rabbits are characterized by their rapid growth, as the standard types that produce meat reach a weight of about 1.75 kg at the age of 8-10 weeks, which is the marketing age. The net percentage in them is high, reaching about 55-66%, and the bones make up only 7-8% of the rabbit’s weight. Rabbits are easy to breed as the mother breastfeeds her young and takes care of them until the weaning stage.

Rabbits have a high rate of food conversion efficiency, where the food conversion rate reaches about 2.5-3 kg feed / kg increase in weight, using balanced diets. It is noted that daily food consumption varies depending on the duration of factors including rabbit age, weight, breed, physiological condition and productivity of the rabbit. Where the consumption rate of empty mothers of pregnancy is about 50 grams, the average daily consumption for males is about 150 grams, for developing rabbits is about 100 grams, for pregnant mothers is about 250 grams, and for pregnant and lactating mothers at the same time is 400 grams.

Fourth: Feeding costs:

Feeding costs for mothers until sale: 45 days = 300 grams of feed x 45 days x 500 mothers = 6,750 kg = 6.75 tons.

Feeding costs for males until sale = 200 grams x 45 days x 25 males = 225 kg = 0.225 tons.

Feeding costs for the successor until sale = 100 grams in 45 days in 3000 rabbits = 13,500 kg = 13.5 tons.

So the total feeding costs until the sale of production = 6.75 + 13.5 + 0.225 = 20.475 tons x price per ton 6,200 EGP = 126,945 EGP.

Fifth: Calculation of other costs:

45 days of medication for about 25,000 EGP.

Rent: 3,000 EGP

Employment: 6,000 EGP

Veterinary supervision: 6,000 EGP

Utilities (water - electricity) 4,000 EGP

Sixth: Revenue from selling rabbits (meat):

3,000 rabbits, the weight of the rabbit is not less than x 1.75 kg x the price of a kilo 40 EGP = 210,000 EGP

Digestion waste in rabbits (dung) 20 meters every 45 days x price of 300 EGP = 6,000 EGP

Total 210,000 + 6,000 = 216,000 EGP

Profit = Revenue - Costs:
Costs = 126,945 for feed + 25,000 medicines + 9,000 labor and rent + 10,000 supervision, water and electricity = 170,945 EGP
Profit = 216,000 - 170,945 = 45,055 EGP, every 45 days.
So the annual profit = 45,055 EGP x 365/45 days = 365,446 EGP
Profit in the first year only after deducting fixed costs = 365,446 EGP - 270,800 EGP = 94,646 EGP
The financial study of the project: project life = 5 years (one year grace period + 4 years payment period)
Prices are subject to increase or decrease according to market mechanisms
The study did not include the farm building, and the rent was compensated
The required space, including storage, accommodation, and the farm is approximately 1000 meters
Results after 4-6 months from the start of the project
