MEAT PRODUCTION FROM ANIMALS IN GAME RESE RVES AND RABBITS

There is a low per capita consumption of meat from game reserve animal s and rabbits and of products made from it. Due to the consumer's incr easing awareness of health questions it is likely that the demand for this meat could be stimulated and its consumption rise because of its favourable composition. The low fat contents and good cholesterol valu es are particularly important in this connection, but so too is the re lative tenderness of the meat. The very marked flavour of the two kind s of meat could extend the range of meat available. The quality proper ties of rabbit meat and venison make competitive production of these t wo products a distinct possibility.
