Abstract: Rabbit industry is the representative industry of grain saving,environmental protection and low consumption herbivorous animal husbandry,as an important part of animal husbandry in China.The research on rabbit genetics,breeding and reproduction is an important basis and guarantee to promote the development of rabbit industry.Which are mainly attributed to the interdisciplinary integration and continuous progress of genetics,molecular biology,statistics and computer science have provided more advanced technical means for rabbit breeding.In this paper,the research progress on genetic breeding and reproduction of rabbits in 2021 are reviewed from the traditional breeding,molecular breeding and reproduction of rabbits.For abroad,lots of researches mainly focuses on the effects of selection and environment on the growth and reproductive performance of rabbits.In China,there are more studies on rabbit genetic breeding and reproduction than abroad,and the researches concentrate mainly on molecular breeding,including varieties and genetic diversity,functional genes related to fur traits,lipid and meat quality traits and reproductive performance.In addition,there are lots of studies on the effects of selection and environmental effects on growth and reproductive performance of rabbits and production performance measurement in traditional breeding.This review could provide references for rabbit breeding and production.
