| Abstract: |
To date, publications concerning crossbreeding of Gabali rabbits with standard breeds (e.g. Spanish V-line) in Saudi Arabia are not available. V-line has proved to be advantageous to standard California and New Zealand White for daily gain in Egypt. Gabali rabbits raised under the Saudi desert conditions are characterized by a large litter size of 8 - 10 young and heavy body weight of 3.2 - 3.8 kg. The objective of the present paper was to estimate direct (GI) and maternal (GM) additive effects, direct (HI) and maternal (HM) heterosis and direct recombination effects (RI ) for body weights, rectal and ear temperatures and respiration rates in a crossbreeding project involving Saudi Gabali and V-line rabbits. |
