Rabbit weight by month - table

When breeding rabbits, the rate of weight gain is one of the most important characteristics. However, various factors, primarily the breed, affect the weight of the animals. The article will go into more detail about how rabbits develop, depending on which breed they belong to.

Average weight of different breeds

When it is necessary for the rabbit to gain weight, the influence of the following factors is taken into account:

1. Features of a specific species to which the animal belongs.
2. The speed with which the young grow.
3. Diet and quality of fur care play an important role.

This animal can be raised for different purposes:

1. For the sake of meat - in such breeds, the speed of development is important to obtain high productivity of carcasses. The mass of adult furry can vary, but in most cases it exceeds the average value.
2. To obtain fluff - rabbit fluff is of good quality, however, it is not as expensive as obtained from most other animals. In such a situation, the weight of the meat obtained is not important enough. The mass of adult representatives of such species ranges from 3.5 to 4 kg.
3. For the sake of both fluff and meat. Such rocks occupy an intermediate position between the previously mentioned directions. Fuzzies in this case weigh 5-5.5 kg.
4. For decorative purposes. When you need to determine how much a decorative rabbit usually weighs, you need to take into account that keeping small animals in the house is much easier than giants.
