Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
1. The data summarized in this paper relate to the live weight at killing, the carcass weight, the skin weight and the loss in dressing of 813 males and 289 females of various breeds and varieties of rabbit.
2. The age at killing varied with the moulting process. The extent to which variation in age contributes to the variation in weight and accounts partly for some of the differences observed is not dealt with.
3. Significant differences were noted between the live weights of the various breed groups, in both sexes.
