This thesis describes and explores the current possibilities and obstacles in the rabbit breeding sector. It is based on many years of experience in rabbit farming and overall interest in the sphere. There are named the factors determining the possibilities of setting up rabbits, all the necessary stabling capacity, cage technology, feed, breeding material resources, slaughtering rabbit sales, pricing and common problems associated with farm running. The thesis tries to keep real costs of revenues and costs in order to ascertain in a clear and objective way the reality or the unreality of entry into this branch. At present, it is not possible to set up a large enterprise with annual production in the order of hundreds of thousands of rabbits for slaughter. That is why the model of a small family business, which can be served by two people, is worked out. The work tries to answer the question whether a small farm would be able to cover the investment costs together with the normal costs and still generate a profit to the family.
