NAL Call Number: 442.8 Am3
Abstract: The effects of human interaction on domestic rabbits were evaluated through the analysis of animals (up to 267) belonging to fancy breeds (22), a commercial breed (1), and selected strains (2). Microsatellite loci and mtDNA polymorphism revealed that the genetic pool of domestic rabbits studied only originated from that available in France. The good conservation of the original diversity was probably ensured through the multiplicity of samplings from wild populations. Selected strains, because of the breeding strategy, keep a fairly high level of diversity compared to other breeds.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 D482
Abstract: Some aspects of relevance for animal protection in breeding dwarf (pet) rabbits are enumerated and discussed. The predisposition of these standard dwarfs (Dw/dw) for certain defects and diseases underlines the partial dominance of Dw; mating of these heterozygous dwarfs is an open neglect of the German animal protection law (section 11b). For feasibility of control breeders (and especially so in commercial pet rabbitries) should be obliged to guarantee unambiguous identification of breeding animals and their progeny.
