ABSTRACT

The mortality pattern in the two breeds of broiler rabbit viz., Soviet Chinchilla and
Grey Giant from 0-84 days of age under warm humid conditions of West Bengal in India
was studied. The mortality rates of Soviet Chinchilla and Grey Giant rabbits were' recorded
as 29.87% and 22.47% respectively. However, analysis of variance did not show any
significant effect of breed on mortality. The mortality rate was the highest in summer
(33.33%) followed by winter (26.39%) and monsoon (19.52%). However, analysis qf variance
revealed that the effect of season on rabbit mortality was non-significant. The overall
perinatal {0-7 days) mortality (17.51 %) was significantly (p
