So, I'm gearing up to start my backyard urban rabbitry, and I've done a ton of reading.
I've found a few different information sources that break down the average feed/meat ratios over the life of the fryers and the breeding stock, and they use different methods to do the math. But they all seem to agree that (when I plug in the price of feed at my local TSC) The finished product should come it at about $1.50 per pound of meat.
Does anyone have an experience that agrees or disagrees with this?
I've made up my mind to start raising meat rabbits in any case. I'm just curious if these numbers are accurate. They seem legit as they're presented.
