Some productive and reproductive studies on purebred and crossbred rabbits under Egyptian conditions
Abstract: Experiments of the present study were carried out on a Flock of the Spanish synthetic V-Line, which is highly productivity and superiority in litter traits. Also, to evacuate the performance of the cross, which is by crossing V-Line with the Local Baladi Red (BR) breed, this is highly adapted with the Egyptian conditions. The study tasted for two years started at September 2005 and ended in May 2007 at Sakha Experimental station belong to Animal Production Research Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, Egypt. Throughout the whole experimental period, each animal was offered a concentrate commercial diet (86.45%DM; 17.80/0 CP, 2.24% EE, 14.03 CF; 46.55% NFE; 5.83% ash) feed and water were available ad-libitum. The current study amid to evaluate the litter traits, pre-weaning mortality, Reproductive traits, Measuring of milk yield and milk composition, some blood constituents, digestibility of nutrients, Caecotrophy trial, and semen physical characteristics under Egyptian condition. In Conclusions it could be concluded that it is possible to Use crossbred does on commercial scale, i.e. crossing V-line rabbits with local rabbits (Baladi Red) if BR used as a buck and V-Line as a doe associated with an improvement in milk production, milk components and feeding efficiencies.
Crossbred does resulting from crossing Baladi Red with V -line of rabbits could be effective to develop synthetic matemalline characterized by high milk production associated with rich components and consequently higher productivity in does could be attained.
Crossbred bucks could be used a suitable genetic for production of rabbits under Egyptian conditions.
