- The objective of this research was to study the correlation between doe body weight, litter size, weaning weight and mortality in New Zealand White rabbit. Materials used were New Zealand White rabbits consisted of doe with average age 8-9 months and 215 kitts with age of 35 days. The method used in this research was case study and using observational method. The data were analyzed by correlation and regression method. The variables measured were doe body weight, litter size, weaning weight, and mortality. The results showed that the correlation between doe body weight with litter size was positive and strong (0.79 ), mean an increase of doe body weight will give effect on increasing in litter size of rabbits. The correlation between doe body weight with weaning weight was negative and moderate (-0.45), mean an increase of doe body weight will give effect on decreasing in weaning weight of rabbits. The correlation between litter size with mortality was negative and very weak (-0.17), mean an increase of litter size will give effect on decreasing in mortality of rabbits. This showed that the doe body weight could determine the litter size, but couldn't to determine the weaning weight, and mortality in a New Zealand White rabbits.
