Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mortality Among Hutch-Raised Domestic Rabbits
Total mortality among animals Of most ages varied considerably. Losses averaged percent among the unweaned young in the station herd. These were slightly lower than the average losses reported by commercial rabbitries participating in cost-account studies, but were higher than the average Of breeders' estimates Of their losses. Only percent of the 569 animals selected at 8 weeks Of age for future breeding stock died before reaching the age of 6 months. On this basis, a breeder would need to save only 10 percent in excess Of his annual replacement to assure the replenishment of his herd.
