The my-rabbit.eu IT system supervises the entire rabbit meat production, starting from breeding, and digital forms, scales that communicate with smartphones, and industrial computer control support the activity at the 30 farms integrated with Tetrabbit. The development can result in cost-effective, internationally competitive rabbit meat production – they wrote. According to the project description on Tetrabbit’s company website, the innovation connects the production and feeding databases, integrates the control systems of the livestock farms and the processing plant, and makes all information available on a common platform. In addition to the success of Hungarian agricultural products, the development helps the sharing of data with the authorities, and provides consumers with detailed information about animal husbandry conditions, they added.

The total cost of the project exceeded HUF 1 billion – read the website of the call.
