Abstract

Rabbit production is well developed in different regions of Vietnam due to abundant feed resources, suitable climate and good raising experiences with the total rabbit population of 5,844,000 in 2014. There are many production models created by producers, which show the technical and economic effectiveness for production contributing to the poor alleviation and prosperous income. Rabbit meat consumption is also increased in the cities and rural areas from year to year. In this paper the current situation development, research results on breeds, nutrition, feed resources, rabbit performance of meat and reproduction, markets and development strategies are presented. The constraints of production development such as low breed quality, few intensive large farms, limited necessary studies, poor marketing and less international co-operation are also discussed.herbivores, breeding, keeping, production improvement, benefits.
