When you are looking for a way to change up your meals, look no further than the rabbit. Rabbit meat is a popular staple in countries around the world, even if it has not fully caught on in America. This is a delicious meat, and there are many health benefits with rabbit as part of your diet. Whether you are preparing main dishes or appetizing sides, add rabbit meat to your rotation and take advantage of all the benefits it has to offer.

Rabbit Nutrition

According to the USDA, every 3 ounces of rabbit meat has the following nutritional value:

Amount Daily Value %

Calories: 147

Total Fat: 3 g 4%

Saturated Fat: 0.9 g 4%

Polyunsaturated Fat: 0.6 g

Monosaturated Fat: 0.8 g

Cholesterol: 105 mg 35%

Sodium: 38 g 1%

Potassium: 292 mg 8%

Total Carbohydrate: 0 g 0%

Dietary Fiber: 0 g 0%

Sugar: 0 g 0%

Protein: 28 g 56%

Vitamin A 0%

Calcium 1%

Vitamin D 0%

Cobalamin 91%

Vitamin C 0%

Iron 22%

Vitamin B6 15%

Magnesium 6%

These percentage values are all based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Because of rabbit meat’s classification as game meat, you may not know much about its health benefits.

👉To fully understand the benefits of rabbit, it is helpful to compare its nutritional value to other meats, like chicken or beef.

👉Rabbit has the highest percentage of digestible proteins compared to other meats while also having the lowest amount of fat.

👉Despite the low amount of fat, rabbit is still rich in healthy fats like polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats.

👉Domesticated rabbit meat also has fewer calories than chicken and has less cholesterol than any other commonly consumed meats, like beef, pork, and chicken.

👉For those looking for high vitamin content, rabbit is an excellent choice. Rabbit meat is rich in vitamins B12 and E, while also having a higher concentration of most minerals.

👉One mineral it is lower in compared to other meats is sodium, making rabbit even more appealing to people with high blood pressure.

👉You can find higher levels of phosphorous and calcium in rabbit than in chicken. These two minerals work together to help build healthy bones.

👉Rabbit is also high in niacin, which helps convert carbs to energy. As the popularity of rabbit meat grows, the dietary fortification of rabbits increases, making the nutritional properties of rabbit even better. Dietary fortification refers to improving the nutritional aspects of the meat by improving the rabbit’s diet while it is being raised. This can be accomplished by giving rabbits the right type of feed; food high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, providing higher levels of vitamin E and increasing the amount of selenium found within their food.

Selenium can be an important addition to our own diets. Selenium is a mineral our bodies use to make antioxidants that can help guard against stomach, lung, prostate, and skin cancers. It is also helpful for guarding against the hardening of your arteries. While red meats have been shown to increase the risk of cancers like colon, rectum, and gastric cancer, white meat does not seem to carry the same risks.

👉Since rabbit is white meat, you do not have to worry as much about these forms of cancer.

👉As with all types of meats, the amount of nutrition you will get out of rabbit meat depends on how you prepare it. Rabbit meat can be fried without the addition of oils thanks to the composition of its meat, meaning you will not see a huge reduction in the health benefits of your rabbit meat. Other popular methods are baking, grilling, or cooking in stews. Be sure to check out here for recipes to see delicious ways to cook an often overlooked meat.

Why Farmers Have Abandoned Poultry, Fish For Rabbit Production In Kano

Recent findings have revealed that poultry and fish farmers in Kano State have found solace in rabbit production. They are gradually expanding the business of rabbit rearing, claiming that it is more profitable, cost effective and requires little capital to start.

It was gathered that the recent hike in the price of poultry and fish feeds has forced many farmers in the state to close down their farms because they could not afford it and the market is not helping matters. The farmers were said to have begun looking for avenues to remain relevant in practice, and that was how they came about the adoption of commercial rabbit production as a substitute to fish and poultry production.


Another rabbit farmer and retired civil servant, Malam Adamu Ussaini, revealed that he was into rabbit production because it is very easy and requires less capital with a high turn on investment of over 200 per cent.

According to him, there has been a rise in rabbit meat demand as it is said to be of high quality, being high in protein and low in fat content, and as such, many regard it as medicinal. He added that the maker is now considered to be very lucrative as it is set to replace poultry and fish farming.

However, the belief that it is medicinal has generated a serious boom in rabbit meat supply because many think it cures common ailments.

“The economic value of rabbit is rising as it is now being supplied to some parts of the country like other livestock. It is also believed to be of medicinal value. Presently, rabbit meat is supplied to many places like Kogi, Benue, Kwara, Ibadan, Port Harcourt and other states,” he said.

It was gathered that with the current high demand on rabbit, the price has begun to appreciate as a pair is now selling between N6,000 and N8,000, depending on their sizes.

It was, however, revealed that the business is becoming more acceptable due to the fact that it does not require much capital to start and rabbits feed on almost everything edible, unlike fish and chicken.

According to a Kano-based nutritionist, Malam Habibu Musa, rabbits are a quick-breeding source of low-fat, high protein and have long been enjoyed as food by many people across the world, Nigeria inclusive.

He revealed that for a very long time, rabbit meat has been sought by both the rich and the poor, adding that in many cases, it serves as substitute for chicken in many recipes.

He explained that it is on record that until the increase in beef consumption in the 1960s, rabbit production was popular in the United States of America (USA) as farm business. However, today, the interest in lower fat diets and healthy eating, combined with an ongoing pursuit by chefs, as well as more scientific discovery, has led to an increase in demand. 

Malam Aminu Kabiru has been a poultry farmer for over two decades and he is currently exploring rabbit production for the second consecutive year. According to him, indices have shown that considering the way and manner at which the price of feed is going up, only few people would be able to continue with the business of poultry farming in the near future. He added that due to the forecast situation, he decided to explore other means to sustain his poultry farming; hence the adoption of rabbit production.

He added that rabbits are characterised by small body sizes, short gestation period, high reproductive potential, rapid growth rate, genetic diversity and their ability to utilise forages and other sources of food easily. He explained that to make it more interesting, rabbits by-products can also serve as major diet components and are said to be devoid of fat, thereby making their meat suitable as an important source of protein.

However, with the development recorded, it is believed that many farmers would soon join the train. It is expected that the business of rabbit production would soon grow to a level that would require government’s intervention. Some of the farmers have also begun advocating a special consideration from the authorities to support the business like fish and poultry farming.
