A method for measuring and analyzing the productivity of Angora rabbit is provided. Firstly, the Angora rabbit to be tested are simultaneously sheared at the age of 18 weeks, and are reared in a single cage to the age of 29 weeks according to standard conditions for test, and the individual consumption of Angora rabbit during the test period is recorded; secondly, the wool samples were sheared from the middle and upper part of the body side of the Angora rabbit with an electric wool clippers. The weight of the Angora rabbit, the weight of the wool sample, and the length of the wool fiber were measured and bagged for recording; in the third step, the wool fiber diameter of each wool sample was measured by fiber projection method; in the fourth step, the measured values were substituted into the given estimation formula.
