In
Malaysia, the most popular source of white meat is poultry. However, it is
always affected by the recurrence of deadly bird-flu illness, the waste
pollution and manpower issues causing fluctuation in the supply and price. In
1988, an inter-governmental joint venture project, Australia-Malaysia Livestock
Trading (AMLT) was initiated to produce rabbit meat. Some genetically produced
(GP) NZWR were distributed to local rabbit breeders under the supervision of
the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia. However, until now, only a few farms with
a small capacity are observed all over the country with a very limited production.
Currently, the local price of rabbit meat is five times higher than chicken,
making it an exotic and exclusive meal only.
