"Group de Producteur de Lapin de L'Ouest"
Mbutakeh Agbor (President of Group) +237 77780525
29 March 2009:
Our group is made up of 20 members (14 women and 6 men) and we have been
keeping rabbits for more than 10 years. Although most of us are still
small farmers with an average herd size of 8 producing females. Six of our
members have succeeded to become big farmers having upto 40 producing
females each in their farms. We sell our rabbits for meat and
consume some in our homes. Rabbit has helped improve the lives of most of
our members and we all share the dream of becoming big rabbit farmers one
day.

One of my favorite rabbit project photos from Cameroon. It was taken at
the Rural Training Centre at Mfonta. In the front center in the red hat is
former HI-CAM director, Dr. Mpoi Nuwanyakpa. Most of the other people were
students from the centre who had successfully completed an HI rabbit
training course. The photo was taken around 1990, and features use of
local resources to develop a sustainable rabbit project. I had previously
conducted rabbit training here from 1983 to 1985. |

A demonstrative prototype underground cell system (2002 Dchiang area).
At right a good raffia cage is observed and near it the passage to the
underground cell can be seen. The cell can be made by cement, clay slides,
bricks or simply with freely collected stones and covered with earth. It
avoids rabbits to escape but it guarantees to them a fresh shelter exactly
as in the burrows they dig underground in natural conditions. At left a
shelter is shown where fattening cages are hanged.
