Acclimatization of Angora Rabbits in Warm Climate and its Impact on National Economy

Today, wool production from Angora rabbits is taking a position on a commercial scale, because it produces 1-1.4 of Kg fine wool, free of any plant contamination and grease, called the Angora wool. This can be attributed to the fact that these animals are highly demanded as pets and companion animals due to the unique qualities of their exquisite beauty and elegant appearance. This study was about the adaptive measures for acclimatization of Angora rabbits in a warm climate in Southern regions of Pakistan. This study provides a brief background of Angora rabbits and their behavior in a warm climate. To keep the Angora rabbits in a warm climate, it may be ensured that their bedding is changed regularly. Rabbits would not like sleeping below a pile of loose blankets, and this may expose them to serious illness. Therefore, their bedding might be changed at least once a week or less. The study was done from 2018 to 2021 on Angora rabbits at Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC), Arid Zone Research Centre (AZRC),Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. It included the adaptive measures that might be taken for acclimatization of Angora rabbits in a warm climate, their living place in warm conditions, their food, fur cutting, and overall management.
