This manual is written as a guide for people and Peace Corps Volunteers getting started with rabbit production projects. Much of the original content of this manual comes from the work of Peace Corps Volunteers and staff in the Philippines and from information developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This publication was produced by the Peace Corps with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Bureau of Food Security. It is distributed through KLU. For further information about KLU materials (periodicals, books, videos, etc.) and information services, or for additional copies of this manual, please check out Peace Corps Manuals and Guides Publication R0041 A Complete Handbook on Backyard and Commercial Rabbit Production replaces an earlier publication of the same name that was produced by the Peace Corps in 1982. The majority of information found in that handbook was an adaptation and revision of Commercial Rabbit Raising Agriculture Handbook No. 309, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This revision was done in 2014 under contract with EnCompass, LLC, through Feed the Future funding from USAID. The Peace Corps review team included Nutrition Specialist Eric Anderson and Expert Consultant Lee Lacy. Illustrations were produced by Kirsten Harper. The original manual was developed from material produced by Volunteers and staff members in Washington, D.C., and at Peace Corps posts throughout the world.
