California rabbit

Today the California rabbit breed is one of the most popular breeds in the world. Bred in the early 1920s in the USA, as a result of complex breeding experiments by crossing breeds such as large chinchilla, New Zealand white, Russian ermine, a wonderful breed of meat direction was obtained. Californian rabbits were brought to our country from Europe in the 70s of the last century. Russian rabbit breeders initially reacted with great caution, believing that the breed was too small and would not suit the local climatic conditions. Doubts were quickly dispelled by the advantages of this breed - early maturity, high fertility of females, high slaughter yield. In our country, the breeding of Californian rabbits reaches an industrial scale.
