Is it possible to cultivate a meat industry robust enough to provide enough meat to feed your colony without resorting to hunting?
Yes, wild boars have a short gestation period, grow fast, and they can graze. However, this also depends how many colonists you have and how long/warm your summers are.

funny, you'd think, chickens, rabbits and rats are better suited for that...
Chickens are great for meat. Their reproduction rate via eggs is quite high.
I suggest chicken's for the eggs.
Since you can use the egg instead of meat for meals.

This is the best way to keep chickens. They can certainly provide meat and lots of it, but it requires lots of colonist work hours and animal feed. It's quite doable on jungle maps because you always have grazing areas, but I'd not recommend it on cold maps.
Don't forget that pigs and dogs can eat dead raiders. (For those of us playing on maps that don't have abundant grass to graze)
Get cows, they breed fast, yield lots of meat, and females also produce lots of milk.
