By James McNitt, Nephi Patton, Steven Lukefahr, Peter Cheeke

Rabbit Production has long been widely recognised as the reference book for up-to-date information for both new rabbit raisers and those with decades of experience. Rapid changes in science and political systems, along with advances in the technologies used in rabbit production have necessitated a revision of the previous edition which was released in 1996.

Rabbit Production, 8th Edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect current scientific data , industry standards, and market conditions. Substantial new information has been added to address the increasing interest in pet rabbits and recently developed knowledge about their dietary needs. A new chapter has also been added on Rabbits for Family and Small Farm Development. The addition of this chapter is a reflection on the increasing interest in self-sufficiency, small farm production, and the value of farm life in family and youth development.

Rabbit Production, 8th Edition is written in a style that will be useful to anyone interested in rabbits, regardless of their experience or educational background. If you raise rabbits or are thinking about doing so, this is the book for you!
