Rabbit breeders in new deal
Mthandazo Nyoni ·
THE Zimbabwe Commercial Rabbit Breeders Association (Zicorba) has signed a deal with top South African veterinary technologists to offer artificial insemination on rabbits.
France and South Africa are among the few countries in the world that practise artificial insemination on rabbits.
Zicorba president Regis Nyamakanga confirmed in a statement that his organisation and South Africa’s Vriesit Andrology Laboratories were planning the first ever artificial insemination trial run for rabbits in Zimbabwe in October this year, making it the first rabbit breeding programme using artificial insemination in Africa, outside South Africa.
