Rabbit Manure Nutrients

Rabbit manure contains many trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, sulfur, copper and cobalt.

Rabbit manure has an approximate value of 3.7% nitrogen. It is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, chicken, cow or horse manure.

Nitrogen:

Cultivates healthy soil and soil biomes
Plants utilize it to produce strong green growth
Is broken down into ammonium (not ammonia!) by bacteria and fungi. Excess ammonium then breaks down into nitrate, which plants convert into protein.

Rabbit manure has an approximate value of 1.3% phosphorus. It is higher in phosphorus than the other manures.

Phosphorus:

Helps with the transformation of solar energy to chemical energy
Helps plants withstand stress
Contributes to bigger and more numerous blossoms
Is great for root growth
Is important for seed germination and root development. Fields with low phosphorus levels may not have well-developed root systems, leading to heavily-stressed plants during droughts. These fields will require re-seeding more often.
Is mportant for vegetable, fruit, and grain maturity and quality
Improves nitrogen absorption by the crop

Rabbit manure has an approximate value of 3.5% potassium.

Potassium:

Helps with fruit quality
Reduces disease
Plants will not grow without it
Is important for growth, longevity and the over-wintering ability of perennial crops.
Is important for legumes
- Nodules on legume roots are filled with bacteria that fix, or convert, nitrogen into a form that’s usable by the plant. When legumes are grown on low-potassium soils, the bacteria can’t fix as much nitrogen for the plant.
Is important for disease resistance
It affects the taste and color of fruit and vegetables
Levels in soil can deplete more quickly than levels of phosphorus
- Crops remove significantly more potassium at harvest time
