Development of an innovation and investment model project for a rabbit farm

Abstract

The development of the production of other types of meat has good prospects in the future, which will certainly contribute to improving the state of the livestock industry. Rabbit breeding has many incomparable advantages over other sub-breeds; therefore, it can be argued that rabbit breeding is one of the promising sub-sectors for further development. Using theoretical and empirical research methods, the authors identified a positive trend in the development of the subsector both in the world and in the Russian Federation due to the desire of the population for a healthy lifestyle. It is known that rabbit meat is dietary, easily digestible and recommended for use by all sex and age groups of the population. From an economic point of view, an increase in the production of rabbit products is a consequence of the steady growth in demand for all types of products in the sub-industry under consideration. Also, the authors note that the market capacity of the rabbit products is large enough: projects quickly pay for themselves due to the possibility of increasing production in a short time. Undoubtedly, there are factors that inhibit the development of the rabbit breeding subsector. The formation of supply chains of rabbit products and the lack of a stable feed base are the most pressing. Despite the identified problems, the rabbit breeding sector is gradually becoming one of the significant sub-sectors of the livestock industry, which in the near future will make it possible to talk about improving the efficiency of livestock production in general. The key points to be highlighted: (a) the current state of the rabbit breeding subsector in the world and in the Russian Federation was analyzed and the conclusion was made that the domestic sub-industry is at the stage of formation; (b) an opportunities for the development of the subsector and constraints were identified; (c) a project has been developed for the creation of a rabbit farm with an economic and technical-technological substantiation and assessment of economic efficiency. The proposed project of a rabbit farm can be considered as a model. Depending on the location and the need for rabbit breeding products, it is possible to change the project parameters for adaptation in a particular region.
