Youth in Kashmir embrace Angora Rabbit Farming for employment and pet purposes - A prominent Angora rabbit farm in Wussan village, located in the Pattan area of Baramulla district, has been drawing increasing attention from young people, eager to explore rabbit farming both as a source of income and as a unique pet-raising hobby.Established by the Department of Animal and Sheep Husbandry in 1979, the farm covers six hectares of land and has evolved into the largest rabbit breeding facility in northern India. Initially set up to promote rabbit farming for its meat and fur, the farm has since expanded its focus, attracting pet enthusiasts, especially youths, seeking to start their own rabbit farming ventures.Rabbit farming in the region is increasingly seen as a sustainable and low-cost livelihood opportunity. The rabbits, often referred to as "Micro-Livestock," require minimal space and resources, making them an ideal option for young entrepreneurs with limited resources. The rabbits' ability to thrive in small spaces and their relatively low care requirements make them a perfect fit for individuals interested in small-scale farming or starting a side business.The primary goal of the Angora rabbit farm remains to meet the demand for rabbit meat in Kashmir. According to dieticians, rabbit meat is rich in nutrients and offers a tasty, healthy alternative to other meats. However, over the years, the farm has also become a center for pet lovers, with many parents visiting the facility to select rabbits as pets for their children. The beauty and gentle nature of Angora rabbits have made them particularly appealing to families, with many seeing them as an enjoyable and therapeutic hobby. #jammukashmir #RabbitFarming #employment Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtFQDgA8J8_iiwc5-KoAQlg/join Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
