Loving the herd life
Has anybody tried anything like this?
I'm wondering about the efficacy of planting a half acre or so of oats to use as partial replacement for pellets in the rabbits' feeding regimen. The plan is to use oats to reduce, but not totally eliminate, the amount of pellets used and reduce the cost of maintaining the meat rabbit herd. The total feeding program would consist of pellets, alfalfa and/or timothy hay, and oats. The monetary investment would be minimal and the labor and equipment needed would not be prohibitive. Recycling the manure into the field for fertilizer seems only natural. Are there any nutritional problems with this approach?
