I know it isn't a HL buck issue, was an escapee got my best show prospect Mini Rex knocked up after chewing her out of her cage o. It'll be some time next year, but the Rex's parents and relations were hitting the last 2 litters. I've always had large litters, but this year I'm culling out the box to keep cost down, wow, I really have no need now to breed again this season. Perhaps making up for the long space between last July and May? Ole Mule Well-known member.
HoppyMeal Well-known member. My NZ crosses which I have 8 does and they are having litters of I had one litter of 15 with 3 dying. I weigh the litters at 8 weeks, and compare the weights, those does who ween the most lbs of rabbits are the producers of future breed stock. My Mini Lops did exactly the same as yours, Dood - kits with an average of 7. Post reply. Similar threads P. Replies 5 Views Jun 11, Preitler.

This was followed by New Zealand white and Palomino brown while the least value for litter weight at weaning was recorded for California breed g as shown on Table1. These significant differences in the litter weight might be as a result of their number of surviving kits at weaning.
Apori et al reported lower litter weight at weaning for California breed compared with New Zealand White reared under an intensive system. The Pearson correlation of the reproductive traits presented on Table 2 shows a range of relationships among the reproductive traits. There was a strong negative correlation Adeyinka et al stated that litter size at birth in rabbit is negatively correlated with individual rabbit weight at birth. There is a strong correlation between number of live born rabbit and litter weight Topczewska et al Iraqi et al reported a strong positive correlation of 0.
The correlation between kit weight at birth and litter weight at birth was also positive. There was also a moderate positive correlation 0. Iraqi et al reported a correlation of 0.
The relationship between the mortality and litter size at weaning was negative There was also a negative correlation between the mortality and kit weight at birth. Kits with low weight at birth are more prone to pre weaning mortality. Therefore, they are more likely to survive. The correlation coefficient between kit weight at birth and kit weight at weaning was positive and moderate 0. There was also a positive correlation 0. Table 2. Pearson correlation of the reproductive traits in rabbit.
Similarly, high pre-weaning mortality in large litters has been reported by Kpodekon et al In large litters, limited number of teats in rabbit females causes an exhaustive competition among litter mates for milk and well-insulated thermally advantageous positions in the litter cluster Bautista et al, In addition, milk available to individual kits decreases with the increase of litter size Zerrouki et al , The availability of milk to kits during lactation period affects their survival Amroun et al Weak competitors might, therefore, suffer starvation and are more likely to die.

Rabbits largely regulate their body temperature through their ears. They have large There is a dilemma in the rabbit community about the best physical feature of rabbits.
