The present study was conducted during 2002-2004 on 350 German Angora rabbits, maintained at rabbit research unit, G.B.P.U.A. and T., Hill campus, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal. Least squares means and heritability were computed to evaluate the performance of reproductive and productive traits of German Angora rabbits. The average litter size at birth, litter size at weaning, litter weight at birth, litter weight at weaning, pre-weaning mortality, wool yield at first, second, third, fourth, fifth clips and annual wool yield in adults rabbits were found as 5.30±0.14 kits, 4.60±0.12 kits, 254.35±5.21 gm, 2745.10±24.35 gm, 12.90±0.70 per cent, 160.45±7.85 gm, 1420.25±5.20 gm, 165.35±5.25 gm, 135.85±6.22 gm, 142.20±9.35 gm and 775.75±20.45 gm, respectively. Pooled heritability estimates of the corresponding traits based on sire component of variance were 0.439±0.254, 0.491±0.071, 0.401±0.101, 0.592±0.155, 0.066±0.072, 0.442±0.151, 0.399±0.198, 0.484±0.112, 0.208±0.141, 0.255±0.125, and 0.515±0.100, respectively.
