Description

Breeding method and application of rex rabbit specialized paternal line
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of rabbit genetic breeding, and particularly relates to a selective breeding method of a rex rabbit specialized father line and application thereof.
Background
Rex rabbit (also named as rex rabbit) is a precious rabbit for both skin and meat. The beaver rabbit is bred after mutation of hair type of meat rabbit, and its coat hair has the typical characteristics of 'thin, dense and flat', and its fur quality is good, and market value is high. In 1924, raccoon beaver-colored ricks rabbits were first shown at the international bleb in paris, france to receive a high degree of evaluation by people, and then the ricks rabbits were rapidly spread around the world. As the breeding history of the rex rabbits is short, the genetic basis is narrow, systematic breeding is lacked, and the growth speed and the heavy performance of the rex rabbits are low. China is a big country for breeding rex rabbits, excellent rex rabbit varieties are seriously lacked in production, the production index of the rex rabbits is generally lower than that of meat rabbits by 30% or more at present, and the disadvantages of low production performance and poor breeding benefit of the rex rabbits are obvious under the condition that the price of fur is relatively low, so that the rex rabbit industry is continuously atrophied. Because the reproductive capacity, the growth capacity and the fur quality of the rex rabbits have genetic antagonism, the selection of a full-purpose variety with high production performance and high fur quality is difficult. And by applying a mating line breeding technical strategy, main selection characters are reasonably distributed, different specialized rex rabbit male parent strains and female parent strains are respectively bred, and a mating hybridization breeding system is established, so that the gene complementation potential and the hybrid vigor can be exerted on the whole, and the optimal breeding and production effects are realized. At present, no commercial rex rabbit complete line varieties exist at home and abroad, no report on breeding of the rex rabbit specialized line is found, and the breeding method and successful experience of the advanced and applicable rex rabbit specialized line are lacked, so that the progress and healthy development of the rex rabbit breed industry in China are restricted.

Optimal linear unbiased prediction method (BLUP): a prediction of a random effect (e.g., an individual breeding value) is said to be the best linear unbiased prediction if it has statistical properties such as linearity (the predictor is a linear function of the sample's observed value), unbiased (the mathematical expectation of the predictor is equal to the mathematical expectation of the random effect itself), and minimal variance of the prediction error. The method was originally proposed by american scholars in the early 50 s of the 20 th century. Since the 70 s, the method is widely applied to the improvement of cattle and becomes a conventional method for estimating the breed number of cattle and livestock in most countries, and in the middle and later stages of the 80 s, some countries begin to apply the method to the genetic evaluation of pigs, so that the speed of genetic improvement is greatly improved. At present, the method becomes a standard genetic evaluation method in the breeding world at home and abroad.

All the female rabbits are hung with female rabbit cards, the breeding is carried out in a mode of synchronization estrus and artificial insemination, the inbreeding is avoided, and 10-15 female rabbits are matched with each male rabbit.
According to the selective mating scheme, the field insemination is completed, after the mating is completed, the mating information is filled in the female rabbit card according to the actual mating execution condition, and the mating information at least comprises the mating date, the male rabbit and the like. On the 12 th day after mating, all the mating female rabbits were fettled, and the pregnancy was filled in to the mating female rabbit card.
Delivering after 30-32 days after mating, and timely measuring and recording information such as litter size, number born alive, weight of newborn nest, fostering and the like; 5-7 initial embryos are selected and reserved in each nest, and 7-8 initial embryos are reserved behind the initial embryos; when the litter size is less than or equal to 4, the litter weight of 3 weeks, the weight of weaning litter and the number of weaning individuals are measured. The birth date of the newborn rabbit is based on the hybridization date plus 31 days.
Weaning measurements and baby rabbit enrollment were completed at 5 weeks of age of baby rabbits, the general flow of weaning measurements being: (1) weighing the whole nest, and measuring and recording the weight of the weaned nest and the number of weaned nests; (2) identifying the sex; (3) weighing the individuals; (4) punching ear numbers; (5) the individual's ear number, father number, mother number, sex, date of birth, date of weaning, and weight of weaned individuals were recorded. When ear number is beaten, the whole nest is eliminated under the following conditions: nest combination; mastitis of female rabbits; the young rabbit suffers from diseases of digestive tract, respiratory tract and skin; the average weight of the young rabbits is less than 600g. Except for the above, all young rabbits need to be registered with a hired number. And calculating selection indexes of all characters at the stage, and selecting and reserving 50% according to the indexes. Generally, rex rabbits are slaughtered after 13 weeks of age, the selection at the stage only reduces the workload of measurement at 13 weeks of age, and if no special reason exists, the rex rabbits can be left without selection at the stage and perform whole-group measurement at 13 weeks of age.
And (3) measuring and recording the individual weight, the body type score, the fur score and the reproductive development score at 13 weeks of age, calculating a selection index, selecting and reserving 25% of female rabbits and 10% of male rabbits if the weaning measurement is not selected, continuously selecting and reserving 50% of female rabbits and 20% of male rabbits if the weaning measurement is selected and reserved.
And (4) measuring and recording the individual weight, the body type score, the fur score and the reproductive development score at the age of 17 weeks, calculating a selection index, continuously selecting and reserving 50% for female rabbits and 20% for male rabbits.
And (4) measuring and recording individual weight, body type score, fur score, foot sole hair score and quilt hair length at the age of 23 weeks, calculating a selection index, continuously selecting and reserving 80% for female rabbits and 80% for male rabbits.
After the determination of 23 weeks, the male and female rabbits are respectively transferred to a male rabbit hutch and a female rabbit hutch for breeding production. In the process, male rabbits with poor libido and poor semen quality are actively eliminated, and the following female rabbits which are not suitable for breeding are actively eliminated: ill or poor health; infertility of the head and fetus; laying the bottom of a cage; no padding; poor lactation; and (4) catching or treading dead baby rabbits.
The selection and the reservation of the breeding rabbits of the next generation can be completed according to the flow generally 3-4 embryos. The other generation updates are similar to the above process and are not described again. The R line has completed 5 generations of breeding by 2018, and the main reproductive performance of each generation is shown in Table 1.

In 2017, the R line 4 generation male rabbits are hybridized with the bred specialized female line A, and the test results are shown in Table 2, which shows that the line A is suitable for hybrid production and has remarkable heterosis.
