Abstract

This study aimed to determine the does performance of ornamental rabbits during the pregnant period at smallholder rabbit farms in Bumiaji District, Batu City. The method used in this study was survey and direct interview with farmers of ornamental rabbits (Dutch, Holland Lop, and Netherland Dwarf). Primary and secondary data were collected by observation. Research variables included initial body weight, body weight gain during pregnancy, litter size, and birth weight of the offsprings. Data were analysed using analysis of variance and if there were differences between treatments, Duncan’s test was conducted. The results showed no difference in initial body weight and weekly body weight gain during the gestation period and litter size, but there was a significant difference (P > 0.05) in the birth weight of the offspring between the three different strains. The conclusion of this study is that the potential ornamental rabbits breeds that give the best performance during the gestation period at smallholder rabbit farms in Bumiaji District is Dutch strain.
