[Sixty rabbits, derived from Vienna Blue (B) and Burgundy Fawn (F) sire genetic origin (SGO), were utilized. The maternal genetic origin was a mixture of crosses of several medium-large size breeds, red-eye breeds excluded. All the rabbits were born from January to April and weaned at 46 +- 5 d. The...
