How to Improve a Buck Rabbit’s Breeding Performance
Improving a buck's breeding performance starts with selection — strong libido, even testicles, stable three-generation genetics, and no cryptorchidism — plus controlled mating (2–3/day with rest days) and a balanced, protein-rich ration raised before breeding. Avoid inbreeding, keep the herd mainly 1–3 years old, and watch temperature: over 30 °C or under 5 °C tanks fertility.

Good management, repeat or double mating, pre-mating checks, and timely re-mating keep it under control.
