Rabbit Meat Export Boom
(Rec. 8 p.m.) CANBERRA. March 22.
In spite of the effects of myxomatosis on the rabbits in Australia, exports of rabbit meat are booming. For the seven months ending January 31 Australia exported almost 7000 tons of rabbit meat, an increase of about 2000 tons on exports for the same period of the previous trade year. Export of rabbit meat is at present running at a level almost 2000 tons annually greater than the export of mutton.
