Effect Of Breed And Breeding System On Reproductive Performance Of Rabbits
ABSTRACT
Two hundred and forty-eight data from twelve does and
forty-six kits were recorded in a 2x2 factorial experiment in CRD over a peiiod
of 12 weeks from the artificial insemination and natural mating of 6 Newzealand
White and 6 Chinchilla does, respectively to investigate the effect of breed
and breeding system on their reproductive performance. Analysis of the data
showed that breed had significant (P<0.05) effect on litter size at weaning and average kit weight at week 8 (56th day) but non-significant (P>0.05)
effect on all other reproductive traits measured except on average kit weight
at weaning which was significantly .05) effect on all other reproductive traits
measured except on average kit weight at weaning which was significantly
(P<0.05 ) higher on artificial insemination (332.6 ± 0.lg) than natural
mating (299±15.4g). Interaction between breed and breeding system produced
