A Six-year investigation on reproductive
performance of hybrid rabbits: 1.: pregnancy rate and numerical productivity at weaning as affected by season / Marongiu, Maria Laura; Dimauro, Corrado; Floris, Basilio Remo. - In: ITALIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE. - ISSN 1828-051X. - 6:Suppl. 1(2007), pp. 770-772.
Abstract:
With the aim to clarify the effect of seasonal variation on reproductive performance of hybrid
rabbits, a six-years investigation was carried out. Traits analysed were pregnancy rate of does and numerical productivity
at weaning. The data set included: 33588 matings and subsequent pregnancy diagnosis; 245743 young
rabbits at weaning. From the statistical analysis, pregnancy rate and numerical productivity at weaning appeared
to be significantly (P<0.001) affected by seasonal variation. Furthermore a statistically significant (P<0.001) month
influence was also found. Nevertheless a correlation between the two parameters needs to be performed to supplement
our analysis.
