Abstract in English

This study was conducted at the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture (Damascus Univ.), using twenty local rabbits. These rabbits were housed, managed and fed under the same conditions. They were identified and distributed into two groups according to the weaning times (٢٨ vs ٤٢ days). It was concluded that weaning time has no significant effect on meat proportion in local rabbits.
