Genetic and environmental correlations between longevity and litter size in rabbits.

Journal of animal breeding and genetics = Zeitschrift fur Tierzuchtung und Zuchtungsbiologie - 1 Jun 2006

Sánchez J P, Baselga M, Ducrocq V

Abstract excerpt

An estimation of the genetic and environmental correlations between prolificacy (kits born alive and number of kits at weaning) and functional longevity in a population selected for litter size at weaning since 1992 was carried out. The method is only an approximation, but suggests that genetically longevity and litter size are not antagonistic objectives in breeding programmes, because the estimated genetic...
