Family Breeding Digest Magazine 2021 //free\\ ✰
For rabbit breeders, 2021 brought advanced scientific insights that were also applicable to family-scale operations. Research published in the journal Animals discussed genomic selection for traits such as litter size in rabbits, noting that "genomic selection uses genetic marker information to predict genomic breeding values (gEBVs), and can be a suitable tool for selecting low-hereditability traits such as litter size in rabbits". While this level of detail may exceed the needs of a hobby breeder, it reflects the growing sophistication of even small-scale breeding programs.
