Two final crossbreds of the broiler rabbit HYPLUS were fattened from 42 to 84 days of age. The following traits were recorded weekly: body weight, average daily gains, average daily consumption of feed and feed conversion with regard to the effect of the initial body weight. The highest difference in body weight between both crossbreds was found at the age of 70 days (5.6%). The initial body weight had a significant effect on the body weight during the fattening period. The final weight of the rabbits with the average initial body weight of 1,248 g was 2,655 g, whereas the final weight of those with the average initial weight of 1,464 g was 2,892 g. In conclusion, a lower weaning weight led to a lower weight at the end of the fattening period.
