Senior 4-H Rabbit Practice Exam

While all of the other breeds (Harlequin, American, New Zealand, and Satin) are listed in the 5 commercial typed breeds, American is not. This could be because American rabbits are often considered a breed of domestic rabbit rather than a specific commercial breed. Harlequin is a breed known for its unique coloring and is commonly used in meat production. New Zealand and Satin rabbits are also commonly used for meat production, with New Zealand rabbits being known for their large size and Satin rabbits for their soft, shiny fur. Ultimately, if you see American listed as a commercial typed breed, it may be referring to a different breed with a similar name.
