The domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cunniculus), continues to lag behind in terms of genetically inclined research necessary for its characterization in Nigeria, hence this study, which investigated the genetic characterization and bottleneck analysis of rabbit populations in Nigeria using microsatellite markers.The Bottleneck analysis sought to determine recent bottleneck (heterozygosity excess) in rabbit populations. The analysis revealed the heterozygosity excess values obtained were non-significant (P > 0.05) warranting the rejection of the null hypothesis that suggested a genetic bottleneck in the rabbit populations.The findings showed that there were high levels of genetic disparity among the commonest breeds of Rabbits adapted to Nigeria, which encourages further genetically inclined research to facilitate the identification and development of effective breeding strategies crucial for the preservation and conservation of this animal genetic resource in Nigeria. |
