Sustainable Feed Production

Introduction
Sustainability has become a buzzword in agriculture, but it’s more than just a trend—it’s a critical component of long-term farm profitability and environmental stewardship. Rabbit farmers often grapple with finding affordable, nutrient-dense feed without harming the planet. Here’s how sustainable feed production addresses that challenge.

What is Sustainable Feed?

• Locally Sourced Ingredients: Minimizing transport reduces carbon emissions and supports local economies.
• Balanced Formulations: Ensuring rabbits receive optimal protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
• Minimal Waste: Eco-friendly packaging and efficient production methods.

Livora Farms’ Approach

1. In-House Production: We manufacture much of our own feed and hay, overseeing quality from start to finish.
2. Quality Control: Regular lab testing ensures our pellets meet strict nutritional standards.
3. Recycling & Byproducts: Agricultural byproducts can be repurposed into feed, reducing overall waste.

Environmental & Economic Benefits

• Lower Carbon Footprint: Reduced transportation and fossil fuel use.
• Cost-Effective: Local ingredients are often cheaper and fresher.
• Soil Health: Rabbit manure is nutrient-rich, returning essential minerals to the soil and closing the loop in farming.

Tips for Farmers

• Check Labels: Look for certified sustainable or locally made feeds.
• Home Mixing: If you have the know-how, mixing your own feed can cut costs.
• Proper Storage: Keep feed in cool, dry conditions to maintain quality and reduce spoilage.
