As part of making things easier for ourselves or even out-rightly starting a somewhat lucrative business that would in time become bigger than most of the tantalizing white collar jobs, it is important we try this. One acre of Ewedu (Jute leaf) can give you N500,000 in pure profit. I used to ignore the business due to how most people handle it; by projecting it as if it’s something meant for the hopeless and poor ones to do.

-

Can you inbreed rabbits? What is line breeding? More importantly, why should you? Line breeding is the process of breeding closely related animals, usually father to daughter or mother to son, in an effort to improve individual traits. Inbreeding is the same as line breeding but the animals are much more closely related, typically brother and sister.

In fact every breed of domesticated rabbit (or cow, dog, cat, and even fish) have been bred by humans into what they are now.
