Genetics of growth, carcass and meat quality in rabbits.

Meat science - 1 Nov 2018

Blasco Agustin, Nagy István, Hernández Pilar

Abstract excerpt

This paper reviews the current knowledge on the genetics of growth, carcass and meat traits in rabbits. There is a great variety in size of rabbit breeds, from which commercial production uses medium size breeds for does and large breeds as terminal sires. Selection experiments for growth and feed efficiency have been successful. Selection for residual feed intake did not modify growth rate, acting on reducing...
