The Carmagnola Grey rabbit is a rare breed from Italy, almost extinct. It is a large chinchilla-colored breed bred for meat.[1] The coat of the Carmagnola Grey exhibits chinchilla coloration. The average weight of an adult Carmagnola Grey is 7.7–9.9 pounds (3.5–4.5 kg). Fewer than 500 specimens were found in a 2002 population study.[2]
One of Carnmagnola's grey rabbits' diets consisted of perilla seeds (Perilla frutescens L.). Perilla seeds are considered as a supplement in their diet as it enhances with growth, development, and meat quality.[3]
