However, rabbit husbandry should adapt to be a competitive and sustainable sector. In addition, it must maintain a balance between rabbit welfare, customer demands, and breeder requirements. Then, improvement in breeding systems is needed and may involve avoiding hormones and antibiotics in rabbit management; enhancing the efficiency of reproductive procedures such as artificial insemination systems and freezing of semen and embryos; extending the productive lifespan of does; improving genetic selection systems; and adjusting nutritional systems to optimize the physiological status of animals and the immune response. This Special Issue concerns all these challenges in increasing rabbit productivity and sustainability.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscAnimals & societybicsscOryctolagus cuniculusSNPsSLAF-seqgenome-wide association studygrowth traitmyeloperoxidaselysozymerabbitsviral infectionrabbit hemorrhagic diseasegoji berriesrabbitinsulin resistanceleptinnon-esterified fatty acidspregnancylactationbody condition scoreprincipal component analysisgene expressionendometriumoviductspermatozoaseminal plasmainflammationangiogenesiscorpus luteumreproductiongenomic selectionimputationlitter sizegenomic simulationartificial inseminationantibioticsantibacterial activitysemen qualityreproductive performancesperm qualitycryopreservationanimal modelassisted reproductive technologyCTSSgranulosa cellsproliferationapoptosishormone secretionbody compositionfertilitykits born aliverabbit doesfeed intakefree tri-iodothyroninethyroxineinsulinglucosecorticosteroneNEFAfetusplacentaResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesAnimals & societyMaría García-García Rosaedt1315230Alvarez Maria AriasedtMaría García-García RosaothAlvarez Maria AriasothBOOK9910585941403321Challenges and New Strategies on Rabbit Breeding3032277UNINA
