Genotype Environment Interaction In Rabbit Production Effect On Heterosis Of Litter And Growth Traits
ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been
increased awareness of the advantages of rabbit production in developing
Countries especially in Nigeria. This is due to decline in animal protein
supply to ever increasing human population (Onibi and Owa, 1999). Rabbits
occupy a niche mid-way between ruminant and non-ruminant animals. They are
herbivores and thrive well on forages and agricultural by-products, which makes
rabbit production cheap. Rabbit has been found to be an in expensive source of
high quality animal protein with high fecundity, high prolifically and ability
to survive on forage and concentrate. To adequately utilize these desirable
qualities to maximize animal protein production, sustainable genetic
improvement of rabbit has to be carried out.
