Interaction of direct and social genetic effects with feeding regime in growing rabbits
Abstract Background Most rabbit production farms apply feed restriction at fattening because of its protective effect against digestive diseases that affect growing rabbits. However, it leads to competitive behaviour between cage mates, which is not observed when animals are fed ad libitum. Our aim...
