“…Table 2 shows raw means and SD for the traits measured in the control population; the values of the traits OR, LS, NBA, NW, IE, and survival rates are in agreement with values published by other authors in maternal rabbit lines (Brun et al, 1992;García et al, 2001;García and Baselga, 2002;Piles et al, 2006;Theau-Clement et al, 2009;Ragab and Baselga, 2011). The value of WOR agrees with other estimates of pregnant female BW in commercial rabbit lines (for example, see Feugier and Fortun-Lamothe, 2006;Martínez-Vallespín et al, 2011). No values for the traits OD and ID have been found in the literature.…”

“…This can be accomplished either using feed with low nutrient density or feed with a high structural carbohydrate content (Rodríguez- Romero et al, 2011;Martínez-Vallespín et al, 2011, by limiting the intake of pelleted all-mash feed until postnatal week 8 (Schlolaut et al, 1978;Schlolaut and Lange, 1979;Gidenne et al, 2003Gidenne et al, , 2009), or by actively restricting the feeding time (Schlolaut and Lange, 1990;Romero et al, 2010). If despite the premature developmental state of the digestive system high growth rates are to be achieved by feeding pelleted all-mash feed ad libitum starting at postnatal day 17, or if the young have access to the mother's food, it is necessary to reduce the proliferation of pathogens by adding bacteriostatic or bactericidal food supplements.…”

High mortality in rearing of domestic rabbits is not only an economic problem but also an animal welfare issue. Among the reasons for this high mortality are some common rearing practices. In this review, we point out several commonly used management practices, which neither represent adequate housing conditions according to the animals' behavioural requirements nor correspond to their nutritional needs. Sometimes, the doe has to build the nursery nest on the cage floor or in a box with a permanently open entrance, often not protected from the light. This can lead to perinatal mortality due to disturbed behaviour of the mother such as failure to build a proper nest, depositing the kits outside the nest, or infanticide. Furthermore, continuous housing of the doe with the kits does not conform to this species' pattern of unusually limited maternal care. Possibly stimulated by olfactory and acoustic signals emanating from the nest, the doe can disturb the inactivity of the kits by her frequent entries to the nest or attempts to close the entrance. Cooling of the kits caused by maladaptive maternal behaviour under such conditions can also contribute to increased mortality and morbidity during the nursing period. In addition, when the doe is left to nurse the kits longer than four weeks, which does not conform to the reproductive biology of the rabbit, kit morbidity can be increased by the following factors. Although the doe's milk has a high protective role against main digestive disorders, prolonged mother-offspring contact might increase the risk of the kits becoming infected with pathogens such as coccidiosis, EPEC and pasteurellosis persisting in the doe. Pre-disposition of the kits to bacterial enteropathies can be encouraged by the delayed development of the enzymatic system, the delayed establishment of a stable gut flora, as well as by consumption of the doe's feed. The increased energy demands of lactation as well as mastitis incidence due to prolonged suckling by the kits could decrease the fertility and the lifespan of the doe. Feed with a high content of non-fibre carbohydrates (compared to green forage) can promote bacterial enteropathies when given before the development of the kits' digestive functions is completed. The risk of the outbreak of such diseases is enhanced by intestinal coccidiosis and unstable gut flora. Enteropathies are also exacerbated by the use of deep litter as opposed to housing rabbits on perforated floors.

“…Feeding costs can be reduced through an improvement in the conversion rate. Fixed costs (30%; Pascual et al, 2011) can be reduced by increasing female productivity, because costs can be distributed among a higher number of animals. Therefore, breeding programs in rabbits include growth rate and reproductive efficiency as the most important aspects.…”
