This paper presents preliminary summary of the data available from one small rabbitry in Trinidad. Local rabbits of mixed breeding were housed in modern wire cages and fed pig grower pelleted ration (16 % CP) and grass. Growth performance was found to be about half of that achieved in temperate countries with improved breeds utilizing properly balanced rabbit diet. High mortality of kids and lower levels of doe/buck fertility are other problem areas.
