Application possibilities of selection indices in Pannon White rabbits’ breeding programme

Genetic parameters for 21-d litter weight (LW21) and thigh muscle volume (TMV) were estimated, and based on these traits a two-trait selection index was created with the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the Pannon White rabbits’ breeding programme.
