Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and behaviour of rabbit does in a group-housing system with natural mating or artificial insemination.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that group-housing of rabbit does seems possible, but more research is needed to solve the problems of the decreased kindling rate and occurrence of pseudo-pregnancies, the lower weight at weaning and aggressiveness among does.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of different feeding levels during rearing and age at first insemination on body development, body composition, and puberty characteristics of rabbit does
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic adaptation and hormonal regulation in young rabbit does during long-term caloric restriction and subsequent compensatory growth

TL;DR: The pattern of changes in the endocrine status during food restriction and compensatory growth in rabbits do conform with those from other species, although some specific changes may vary depending on the severity of food restrictionand its duration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of feeding program during rearing and age at first insemination on performances during subsequent reproduction in young rabbit does
TL;DR: Reproductive performance can be improved by restricted feeding during rearing and extended first insemination to 17.5 wk of age, and the culling rate was not affected by the rearing strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of litter size before weaning on subsequent body development, feed intake, and reproductive performance of young rabbit does
TL;DR: Based on results of this study, it seems advisable to perform a limited standardization level (at nine kits) after kindling and postpone first mating to an older age to improve reproductive performance.
