- Abstract
The aim of the work were evaluation of selected morphological and carcass traits in broiler rabbits. The selected morphological traits were length of heads, cross size of heads, length of ears, cross size of breast, depth of breast, under-voltage, length of skillet, cross size of skillet, length of trunk, circumference of breast, semi-circumference. For analyse carcass traits was selected rabbits with morphological traits. The analyses carcass traits were weight of skin, weight of body, weight of head, weight of thigh, recovery and slaughter age. Traits of morphological and carcass were analysed using the Statistical Analysis System version 9.3.1. Between morphological traits was the high of variability in district of breast (6.18 %), district of breast (6.91%) and the lowest in length of ears (3.43 %), cross size of skillet (3.82 %). The high variability of carcass traits was in weight of skin (9.43 %), the lowest in weight of head (2.26 %) and recovery (2.5 %). The high of significant correlation was between weight of thigh and length of heads (0,188++), cross size of heads (0,227++). Obtained results will be exploitable for future rabbits breeding in the Slovak Republic.
