Observations on a sandy lop breeding colony over an eleven period (1978-1988)
1990
Batchelor, G.R.
There are three main incentives for collecting data on this rabbit strain: 1. There is a large mass of breeding data available, covering theperiod from 1978 to the present day. 2. There has been a noticeable increase in breeding success (anda reduction in losses) seemingly to correspond with the diet given, althoughthis may not be the sole reason. 3. Although the pre-weaning mortality rate has been reduced overthe last four years to a mean of around 15% (range 8-29%), the littering rate,although showing an improvement, is still under 80% (range 70-77%).Whether further improvement is possible is one question which may beanswered by the publication of this paper.
