Observations on the effect of sex, litter size, and age on the body weights of rabbits.

Abstract

Female rabbits of the New Zealand White and Chinchilla crosses were always found to be lighter than the male rabbits at 21 to 98 days of age. Animals from litters of less than six were heavier than those from greater litters (98-day liveweight 1461.2 g as compared to 1119.9 g).
