Abstract: The latest research progress on domestic and international rabbit genetics and breeding in 2014 were reviewed in the present paper based on three aspects of traditional breeding,molecular breeding and reproductive technology,so as to provide references for rabbit breeders and researchers.At abroad,the researchers focused on the analysis of productive performance of different meat rabbit breeds in aspect of traditional breeding,on fur color and productive performance in molecular breeding,meantime rabbit genomic structures were studied by high-throughput sequencing technology.While the key point was still efficient reproductive technique in foreign breeding studies,including semen cryoprotectants development and embryo cryopreservation technology.In domestic rabbit genetic and breeding,molecular bases were still the point of importance for traits of fur,growth and carcass.Secondly,traditional breeding mainly contained evaluation and comparison of Chinese local breeds,cultivating breeds and imported breeds,meantime rabbit cross-strains and modern breeding software development have become two spot light of internal genetic and breeding field in 2014.While studies on rabbit reproduction in domestic rabbit fields were less than these of foreign countries and disperse.Overall,the genetic and breeding studies focus on partial different aspects at home and abroad.For our country,researches on efficient reproductive technology and molecular bases of productive traits should be given further emphasis.
