Uzbek Ambassador Abat Fayzullayev met with Mauro Donda, CEO of the Italian Cattle Breeders' Association, and Sergio Pompa, President of the Italian National Rabbit Breeding Association, to discuss a notable joint achievement: the world's largest rabbit breeding complex in Lower Chirchik, Tashkent, Dunyo reports.
State-of-the-Art Rabbit Breeding Complex
The rabbit breeding complex, constructed utilizing cutting-edge Italian technologies, boasts impressive capabilities. It has the capacity to produce 2mn rabbits, yielding 2,000 tons of rabbit meat annually, along with 80,000 tons of high-quality rabbit feed. Notably, the complex operates in a waste-free manner, generating 36,000 tons of natural fertilizers. Moreover, the facility sends rabbit skins for processing, ensuring maximum utilization of resources.
A key advantage of the enterprise lies in its utilization of premium genetic material and breeding female rabbits imported from Italy. This strategic move has enabled the complex to establish a lineage of purebred rabbits, contributing to its long-term sustainability and productivity.
Ongoing Collaboration and Monitoring
Close collaboration between Uzbekistan and the Italian National Association of Rabbit Breeders remains integral to the complex's success. Specialists from the association actively monitor all processes online, providing invaluable insights into animal health, feed composition, and appropriate medication usage.
Currently, the company has achieved success in exporting rabbit meat to neighboring markets and is actively engaged in negotiations with potential importing countries. This international outreach underscores the complex's growing reputation and potential to contribute significantly to Uzbekistan's agricultural exports.
This initiative was brought up last year at the ICFS conference by Mauro Donda. He mentioned that there were 24 sheds for rabbits at the time and at the plant, genetic engineers of both countries were running a program together.
