In broiler rabbits HY 2000 and HY PLUS x HY 2000 the body weight average daily gain, average daily feed consumption and feed conversion were examined from 46 to 88 days of the age. Compared to the hybrid HY 2000, the hybrid HY PLUS x NY 2000 showed significantly higher daily gain, daily feed consumption and non-significantly better feed consumption during the whole fattening period. The relevant data for the HY PLUS x HY 2000 hybrid were significantly better for the entire fattening period: 38.3 g vs. 33.6 g daily gain 4.53 vs. 4.77 feed conversion. Regarding the higher daily gains the hybrid HY PLUS x HY 2000 reached 2600 g of the market body weight earlier than HY 2000 (81 vs. 88 days old).
