Breed two new rabbit breeds

Mr. Nguyen Hoang To, Vuong Tien rabbit farm (Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City) just surprised the rabbit raising community when introducing two completely new breeds of rabbits bred from Vietnamese and French breeds.

These two new varieties proved to be superior to Vietnamese rabbits and imported rabbits.

New rabbits (2005 VNGB and 2006 VNGBF) are larger than purebred Vietnamese rabbits, more adapted to Vietnamese climate conditions. Therefore, respiratory and digestive diseases that are imported by exotic breeds of rabbits are completely avoided.

At first, he gave Vietnamese rabbits and butterfly rabbits (French); Rabbit striped rabbit (French) and Vietnamese rabbit. After tame the two species of crossbred rabbits, To continued to breed with each other to create a breed of rabbit 2005 VNGB.

However, according to Mr. To, these rabbits, apart from the ones that are as good as: nice shape (small head, big half body, big thigh, silky hair .), adapting to the climate are still disadvantages. small compared to imported rabbits (reaching 5-6 kg). Therefore, Mr. To continued to breed and breed with French giant rabbits, producing rabbits 2006-VNGBF, weighing 7 kg.

It is known that these hybrid rabbits need very little grass, can be used to feed the industry while ensuring meat quality. Currently Mr. To has 140 hybrid rabbits. He is still continuing to tame and find ways to breed new breeds, hoping to overcome foreign rabbits, looking for export.
