Abstract

Traditionally, agricultural research has focused on production issues even though demand issues should usefully complement production research. Focusing on demand issues will help to improve decision-making in production and marketing activities. With all the merits of rabbit meat, the study revealed that a large proportion of the population in Ibadan metropolis who desire to regularly eat this meat do not have access to it. About 36.00% of those who eat this meat purchase directly from rabbit keepers at prices considered to be high. About 20.00% of all the respondents indicated preference for processed (smoked) rabbit meat, thus creating an opportunity for urban animal farmers to produce this meat for a ready market. This is an avenue to increase producer income by adding value to the meat through processing.
