“…Recommendations for dietary digestible energy (DE) content are in the same range for German (Schlolaut, 1985), Chinese (Liu et al, 1992) and French authors (Rougeot and Thébault, 1984;Charlet-Lery et al, 1985). Nevertheless, German and Chinese data are not very precise since the variation between the proposed minimum and maximum Table 16.2.…”

“…According to Charlet-Lery et al (1985), metabolizable energy (ME) represents 0.95 of DE content; in addition, the same authors have indicated that energy utilization by Angora rabbits, as DE or ME, is independent of the season or the time since the previous wool harvest.…”

“…Angora rabbits, like most mammals, lick their fleece when grooming. Hair is swallowed, representing 0.3-0.4 g day −1 during the last month between harvests (Charlet-Lery et al, 1985). As the rabbit is unable to vomit, long hair mixed with feed material is retained in the Table 16.7.…”

This chapter considers the nutrient requirements of Angora wool-producing females as well as their feeding management. The recommended amounts of different nutrients for Angora rabbits are also presented. To avoid wastage and nutritional disorders, a restricted feeding regime adapted to variations in both feed requirements and hair growth should be adopted. Fasting once a week will avoid the formation of a stomach hair ball, which, should it occur, is invariably fatal.

A study was made of the wool production of 490 females and 137 males of a strain of French Angora rabbit. The female adults weighed 4107 g and produced 249 g of wool every 14 weeks. Production was low for the first harvest (35 g) which consisted mainly of short wool. It then increased rapidly (203 g for the third harvest). After the third harvest, three-quarters of long wool was also bristly. The length of bristles (102 mm) decreased by 4 mm, and that of downs (62 mm) increased by 3 mm when the harvest number went from two to four. The coefficient of correlation between wool production and live weight was lower than 0-30. Adult females born in autumn produced 16 g more than those born in summer. Wool production was at a maximum during autumn and winter harvests and at a minimum in summer.Winter fleeces had longer bristles and down than summer ones. Males produced well wool than females. When a female dropped a litter, her wool production decreases by proportionately 01 to 0-2. Bristly fleeces were clearly different from woolly fleeces on account of higher weight, homogeneity and compression. Objective criteria to evaluate tautness will have to found.
