Mass selection for 70-day body weight in rabbits.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jul 1996

Lukefahr S D, Odi H B, Atakora J K

Abstract excerpt

Five generations of phenotypic mass selection for increased 70-d body weight (market age, MW) were conducted in an experimental population of rabbits. Market-age weight was recorded for 1,616 rabbits from 336 litters (sired by 121 bucks and reared by 321 does). Additional growth and carcass traits measured in control (C) and select (S) lines were 28-d weaning weight (WW), 28- to 70-d average daily gain (ADG),...
