Abstract
- A semiextensive system for breeding wild rabbits in captivity that provides an efficient way to maintain the genetic diversity of rabbits that would improve the low fertility rates and high mortality typically found when wild rabbits are reared in captivity is designed and implemented. The use of artificial burrows contributes to resolve majority of the management problems, enhancing animal life and help in conservation of species in serious danger of extinction.
