Functional longevity in five rabbit lines founded on different criteria: Comparison at foundation and at fixed times after selection

Abstract: The enhancement of rabbit female functional longevity, that is the ability to avoid voluntary culling, is a paramount aspect for the sustainability of meat rabbit production; this trait represents a direct indicator of female robustness. The objective of our study was to compare the functional longevity of five rabbit lines at their foundation and at fixed times during their selection processes. Four of them are maternal lines (A, V, H and LP) selected for litter size at weaning. The fifth line is the paternal… Show more

“…Sichuan White and New Zealand rabbits, a higher abundance of Uncultured Eubacteriaceae was found in the Sichuan White rabbit group, which also exhibited a significantly higher survival rate (p < 0.05) compared to the New Zealand rabbit group [ 56 ]. Line A in this study was founded from New Zealand rabbits and had a lower survival rate than line LP [ 24 ], supporting the possible importance of the Uncultured Eubacteriaceae in modulating longevity. Blautia and Colidextribacter were found to be more abundant in line A and in group LLP.…”

“…Greater alpha diversity was observed in line LP compared to line A. It should be noted that line LP has greater longevity than line A [ 24 ]. Hence, these findings are consistent with the idea that high microbial diversity is beneficial for coping with environmental stress and promotes a good health status [ 49 , 50 ].…”
