Biko,
What should be promoted is not rabbit because of the high cholesterol content of 105 (rabbit): 65 (goat) in a 3 ounce slice as pointed out by Prof. Emeagwali. Goat is good and easier to rear in Africa likewise grasscuter. I once ran a grasscutter farm (which is (48.5-53.4 mg/100 g v. 135 mg/100 g fresh weight) and high in protein 18.1%). This is a delicacy in Africa. The problem is the high production (housing) cost because it requires cast concrete (or wood fortified with steel plates) and steel wire gauze are needed be to build their cages otherwise which their strong teeth can't eat through. The Nigerian government refused to invest and promote it, while they promoted rabbit farming (with support from EU) in the 1990s. The female grasscutter produces an average of fifteen a year and very prolific ones produce as many as 20-24 if well-spaced. Some of my patrons included some Frenchmen who used to travel miles to buy and even take to France. I am sure grasscutter won't be too fragile or cute to put on your dining table.
Uyi

Sorry, I am yet to try rabbit meat, almost too cute to eat, except for the ewite giant rats that we call rabbits in the village. Rabbit farming is not only for food, they can be sold to people who want to keep them as pets.

This is out of the blue - but goat farming may be a better deal. Rabbits are fragile.
