| Abstract | ||||
| The productivity of rabbits depends mainly on the number of young weaned per cage, which can be increased by maximizing the number of parturitions and minimizing the intervals between them, providing the size of litters as maintained . The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the effect of three different remating intervals as well as two different weaning ages on the productive traits (body weight, daily feed consumption, post weaning growth, mortality and viability. The experimentaljloclc com posed of six groups, each group consists of eight does of NZW Rabbit remated ( 1, 5, 1 0) days postpartum and weaned their kits at (25 and 35 d. of age). Does mated 5th day post-partum and their litters weaned at 35 days of age showed significant (p 0.05) higher body weights at different ages, higher RGR% and average daily gain. Does mat ed 1st day post parium and their litters weaned at 25 days of age showed inferior body weight through the whole experimental period | ||||
