Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the growth performance of a commercial hybrid of rabbits Hycole in small stud (breed 1) with the growth performance of the commercial hybrid Hycole in factory farms (breed 2). In evaluated breed 1 the weight was at weaning 1029.18 g, in the breed 2 it was 1106.04 g. In 49th day in the breed 1 the weight was 1241.75 g and in the breed 2 the weight was 1288 g. At the age of 56 days the weight was in the breed 1 – 1458.19 g and in the breed 2 – 1519.93 g. In 63rd day we found out that the weight in the breed 1 was 1729.75 g and in the breed 2 it was 1781.10 g. At the age of 70 days we found out that the weight in the breed 1 was 2049.84 g and in the breed 2 it was 2122.56 g. In 77th day we found out that the weight in the breed 1 was 2322.14 g and in the breed 2 it was 2481.5 g. At the age of 84 days we found out that the weight of the rabbits in the breed 1 was 2602.89 g and in the breed 2 was the weight 2799.41 g. Average daily increases in a period of a fattening were 37.47 g in the breed 1 and 40.32 g in the breed 2. Average lifetime daily increases were 30.99 g in the breed 1 and 33.33 g in the breed 2.
