Public advised to raise rabbits for meat to cut costs
The Agriculture Department recommends domestic rabbits as a family budget aid. A rabbit pair in backyard hutches can yield up to 40 pounds yearly, with four pounds per doe reaching the dinner table in about 75 days. Domestic rabbits are lighter on feed and less disease prone than wild rabbits.

Rabbit Rearing Boom Fueled by White Pelts
The department notes four to five pounds of meat per rabbit with two and a half pounds dressed, totaling about 60 rabbits yielding 150 pounds yearly. Selling meat or pelts can offset groceries, with white rabbits fetching higher prices. Rabbits may be kept where poultry raising is permitted, a trend rising on the West Coast, including Los Angeles which consumed about 7,000,000 pounds of rabbit meat in a recent year.
