How To Raise Rabbits For Food And Fur (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781445509952)

This work first published during World War II for a readership facing meat shortages contains a wealth of information, much of which is still useful and practical today. Extensively illustrated by text and full page photographs, it forms a complete how-to guide that will appeal greatly to farming enthusiasts and historians alike. Contents Include: Rabbit Meat for the Family, Advice to Beginners, Location of the Rabbitry, Choosing a Breed, Breeding, Feeding, Prevention and Treatment of disease, General Management, Judging Rabbits, Preparing Rabbits for Market, Tanning Rabbit Skins, Marketing Meat and Fur and How to Cook Domestic Rabbit Meat. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
