Influence of Hormonal Stimulation with Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin on Weight Development of Litter in White New Zealand Rabbit Breed
Keywords:
rabbits, New Zealand White breed, hormonal stimulation with PMSG, rabbits’ weight developmentAbstract
The subject of the trail were rabbits from experimental rabbit farm of the Institute of Animal
Science – Kostinbrod. The purpose of the present work was to determine the relationship between
hormonal stimulation with PMSG and weight development of the litter. The hormonal stimulation reduces individual weight of rabbits on the 8th, 16th, 21st and 35th day postpartum, litter weight on the 35th day postpartum and litter gain from birth to 8th day and from 21st to 35th day postpartum.
