Effects of parity order and reproductive management on the efficiency of rabbit productive systems

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the effect of parity order and reproductive management systems on rabbit production performance. A total of 73 rabbit does (I group) were submitted to a 35-day intensive rhythm [artificial insemination (AI) on day 4 post-partum (pp) and weaning at 25 days of lactation], and 108 rabbit does (SI group) were submitted to a 42-day semiintensive rhythm (AI on day 11 pp and weaning at 35 days of lactation) during 9 months. Primiparous does had the lowest live body weight at parturit… Show more

“…As expected, body weight of females at 0 and 23 d of lactation increased with the age (P<0.001) and litter performance (size and weight) was lower at first parturition than thereafter. Similar results were previusly reported in the literature (Szendrő and Maertens, 2001;Xiccato et al, 2004;Rebollar et al, 2009;Tuma et al, 2010).…”

“…The effects observed for the parity order were those expected and similar to those previously described (Pascual et al, 1999;Xiccato et al, 2004;Rebollar et al, 2009). Highly productive does tended to have less fat content at the beginning of the experiment, and showed a numerically lower fat mobilization before the first parturition (but not significant) and a similar fat restoration from birth to next insemination than the average obtained considering all the rabbit does, which agrees with the results reported by Savietto et al (2016).…”

“…In accordance with the literature (Xiccato et al, 2004;Rebollar et al, 2009;Tůma et al, 2010), the reproductive performance of does was affected by the parity order (Table 1). The kindling rate of primiparous does was lower than that of the nulliparous and multiparous does, which can be explained by the negative energy balance of simultaneously lactating and pregnant primiparous does (Xiccato et al, 1996).…”
