Throughout its short history, the commercial rabbit industry has suffered from a poor home market due to the long national memory of the 1950s myxomatosis outbreak, the strong competition from the broiler chicken industry and of low-priced imported rabbit. In the past few years, a new market for British rabbit has opened up in Europe with a potential demand far in excess of the present production. The veterinary profession can assist in this expansion.
在其短暂的历史中，商业养兔业一直受困于国内市场不佳的状况，这是由于人们对20世纪50年代兔黏液瘤病爆发的长久记忆、肉鸡行业的激烈竞争以及低价进口兔肉的冲击。在过去几年里，英国兔肉在欧洲开拓了新市场，潜在需求远远超过目前的产量。兽医行业可以助力这一扩张。
