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
