The first charge on the cost price of a kilo of rabbit is the feed. Hypharm is working to reduce this consumption index:

• Directly: by measuring individual consumption;
• Indirectly: by increasing the number of kilograms of weaned rabbits per AI and the number of kilograms valued per AI.

At Choice, we strongly encourage our customer to breed their gilts on the 3rd or 4th estrous cycle to be sure their gilts are sexually mature and to maximize total born on that first litter. Our various studies show that the minimum age of the gilt at 1st AI should be 230 days (33 weeks) for better prolificacy.

The CG36 is #1 in the industry for a quality underline. Underline counts can range from 16 to 22 functional teats. With a quality underline like that, the CG36 has the potential to successfully nurse 13 to 15 piglets/litter. As with all female lines, as the CG36 ages, reaching the 4th or 5th parity, her potential lessens to weaning 11 to 13 piglets/litter.
