Rabbit slaughtering lines are a “refined” business, with the core technology lying in balancing the efficient acquisition of intact raw hides with ensuring the hygienic quality of rabbit meat.
If you have specific production capacity targets or product positioning (such as focusing on raw hide exports or premium rabbit meat), I can provide more specific equipment selection or process analysis.
The rabbit slaughter and processing industry is far more than a simple meat-harvesting process; it is a precision processing industry underpinned by sophisticated technologies and strategic management. Its core challenge and ultimate value lie in how to systematically balance and maximize the value of two highly conflicting outputs: high-value intact raw hides and high-quality safe rabbit meat. This balance runs through every stage from breeding to processing, forming the industry’s unique competitive barrier and core profit driver.
Rabbits are typical economic animals raised for both meat and hide. A premium raw rex rabbit hide can account for 30%–50% of the total economic value of a single rabbit—its value may even exceed that of the carcass. This shifts the production goal from a sole focus on “meat production” to a dual imperative of “hide preservation” and “meat preservation”.
The requirements for processing precision are extremely stringent: raw hides are extremely delicate, and any improper operation—such as struggling caused by ineffective stunning, knife punctures during skinning, or residual fat—can lead to downgrading or even scrapping of the hides. Meanwhile, rabbit meat has tender fibers that are susceptible to microbial contamination, imposing rigorous demands on hygiene control and processing speed.
There is a strong need for technical synergy: processes designed for “hide preservation” (e.g., avoiding scalding, precision skinning) and those for “meat preservation” (e.g., rapid chilling, low-temperature cutting) must be seamlessly integrated on the production line, with mutual compromise rather than mutual detriment.
