| Abstract | ||||
| Data on 41 does and 807 weaned rabbits were used to study the effect of litter size and stocking density on body weights at different age phases in New Zealand white rabbits. It was found that litter Size and stocking density had high significant effect on body weights. The major effect of litter size was on the 21st day body weights as 40% of the variation were contributed by litter size. meanwhile, at 28 day of age only 18%. After weaning litter size had significant but poor effect on body weights. stocking density of 4 kits/cage had better body weights than 7 kits/cage. | ||||
