A rabbitry runs on five numbers.
Most farmers never see them.
Not because they do not know what they are. Because a notebook cannot add them up.
Can you tell me your conception rate?
Not what it ought to be — what yours is. Of every doe you put to the buck this year, how many gave a litter and how many gave nothing?
Example figures — a well-run twelve-doe rabbitrysee it full size What does one rabbit actually cost you to produce?
Feed for the growers is the easy part. Is the doe in that figure? The buck? The does that missed? Your breeders are the machinery and your weaners are the units — leave the machinery out and every rabbit looks cheaper than it is.
How many must you sell this year to break even, and at what price?
A number, not a feeling. And if the price drops a dollar, how many more must you sell to stand still?
Example figures — worked out from your own costs and the price you actually getsee it full size Which of your does are earning their feed?
Every herd has does that pay for themselves three times over, and does that never have. Without records they eat the same feed and look the same.

Which buck gets your does in kindle, and which keeps missing? And when you keep a kit back for breeding — are you about to put a buck to his own sister?
KurimaTsuro answers all five from the records you already keep — matings, kindlings, weighings, feed, sales. Record the day's work and the numbers work themselves out. It runs in your phone's browser; there is nothing to install.
What is in it
- Breeding
- every mating from service to weaning, with the dates worked out — nest box, due, wean, back to the buck
- Does and bucks
- a record for each one: litters, kits reared, conception, and the matings behind every figure
- Growout
- pens weighed over time against your selling weight, with feed conversion and a projected date
- Health
- treatments, vaccinations, routines — and a withdrawal clock, so a treated rabbit is never sold for meat too early
- Money
- sales, debtors, expenses, and a real cost of production behind them
- Today
- one list each morning: nest boxes due, does ready, kindlings overdue, money owed
Where this is right now
It is in use on a working rabbitry every day, and it is still young. I am taking a small number of farmers on early so it gets shaped by real herds rather than guesses. If something is wrong or missing, tell me — it usually gets fixed that week.
Your records are yours. One farm cannot see another's, and nothing is shared with anybody.
Rather talk first?
If you already have a herd and entering it looks like a mountain, message me. It is usually an hour's work and I will help you do it.
