Features: The breeding of American Fuzzy Lop rabbits (tazherits) in China started relatively late, but they are excellent for both fur and meat, and every part of the rabbit is valuable. The fur of tazherits is unique, with thin skin, light weight, fine and dense, short and flat, meeting the current international fur market's demand for natural and stylish patterns. It is used to make women's fur-lined coats, children's clothing, shawls, scarves, gloves, hats, and as trim for clothing, appearing very realistic, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing. With the improvement of people's living standards, tazherits have both domestic markets and international sales, and their export performance is also quite good. Experts predict that as long as the breeding quality of tazherits is good, within a few years, the demand for tazherit fur will exceed the supply. Therefore, in the rabbit breeding industry, tazherit breeding has a better market prospect than hair rabbit breeding and higher economic benefits than meat rabbit breeding. Modern tazherit breeding began to emerge in the 1970s and gradually developed after industrial and technological advancements reached a certain level. With the development of compound feed, disease prevention and control techniques, environmental control, as well as mechanization and automation, tazherit breeding technology has begun to enter a new stage of industrialized production. It adopts advanced science and technology and equipment to carry out high-efficiency tazherit breeding in an industrialized manner. Industrialized tazherit breeding farms, due to the adoption of various advanced technologies, not only improve labor productivity in the tazherit breeding industry but also reduce feed consumption, shorten breeding cycles, and enhance commercial efficiency. This book was written in response to the requests of a broad readership, aiming to develop China's tazherit industry and gradually transform traditional rabbit breeding into modern large-scale industrialized tazherit breeding to meet the growing demand for the industry. This is the ultimate goal of writing this book. Scientific tazherit breeding must be both widely promoted and continuously deepened in its development. This book combines theoretical knowledge of the subject with practical skills, aiming to popularize and promote new concepts, breeds, technologies, achievements, products, and experiences, providing readers with more up-to-date information. The book is characterized by its scientific rigor, advanced content, practicality, illustrations, readability, and strong operability, making it highly suitable for faculty and students of agricultural institutions, breeders, and tazherit breeding enthusiasts as a reference.
