Effect of weaning age on the performances of rabbit in the sub temperate Eastern Himalayan region of India

Data on different productive and reproductive traits recorded from New Zealand White and Soviet Chinchilla breeds of rabbit for a period of four years were analyzed, while weaning of kits was practiced in three different ages ie at 30days, 36 days and 42 days. Analysis of data revealed that weaning age had caused significant (P< 0.05) differences on litter weight at weaning, individual litter weight at weaning and non-significant (P> 0.05) effect on litter size at weaning, post-weaning average daily gain and mortality %.
