(*Anon. 1998. Fertilizer values of some manures. Countryside & Small Stock Journal. September-October. p. 75) Thus in coming days rabbit manure can be an additional source of income for the farmers. The manure has already been tried by few farmers in India on some crops with simple processing and has given excellent results. We think that rabbit manure will surely contribute to the concept of Organic Farming, because of its excellent nutirtivity .
