Zalecenia hodowlane
  • Optimal mature weight 4.0–5.0 kg before first mating (≥80% of adult weight at 4–5 months).
  • Wean at 28–35 days (kit weight ≥550 g) for maximum growth efficiency.
  • Doe-to-buck ratio 8–10 does per buck under intensive systems.
  • Slaughter at 70–90 days for 2.3–2.5 kg carcass weight.
  • Avoid overfeeding young does pre-mating — fat reserves cause fertility problems.
