Specialists in various aspects of raising rabbits update their guide for the growing number of people in non-industrial countries who are raising rabbits for a living, and people in industrialized countries doing so as a hobby or for supplemental income. The topics include rabbit breeds, rabbit diseases and health problems, genetic selection for herd improvement, rabbit for family and small farm development, slaughtering and preparing meat and skins, and marketing rabbits and their products. Distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Suitable for those involved in rabbit production, this title focuses on rabbits bred for meat and fur. It contains practical information on pet rabbits, show rabbits and rabbits used as laboratory animals. It also covers areas such as animal welfare and coat colour genetics.

J. I. McNitt worked in Africa as a rabbit specialist and was the leader of a rabbit research program in Louisiana working to assist small, limited resource farmers with production problems. He retired in 2008 and remained active in rabbit research and literature until his death in 2019. N. M. Patton conducted rabbit disease research for 25 years. He has been a consultant to a large commercial rabbitry for the past 10 years, during which he experienced most of the problems encountered by rabbit raisers. He was President of the World Rabbit Science Association 1997. He retired from Oregon State University in 1996. S.D. Lukefahr operates his own rabbitry and has worked in over 30 developing countries, where he promoted village-level rabbit farming. He has made many significant contributions to our knowledge of rabbit breeding and genetics. He was President of the World Rabbit Science Association from 2004 to 2008 and General Secretary for Developing Countries from 2008 to 2016. P. R. Cheeke has conducted rabbit nutrition research since 1969 and has published extensively in this area. In 1985 he was awarded the prestigious Mignini International Award for excellence in rabbit research.
