El-Beheira Rural Development project aims to assist farmers farmers in El-Beheira Governorate, to increase meat production, improve and raise their nutritionl status and raise their income. A total of 300 rabbits [150 does +150 bucks] of [New Zealand White, california and Bouscat Whit] raised and adapted and adapted under the Egyptian environment at rabbit research institute belong to the Ministry of Agriculture, were used to investigate and evaluate their meat productivity, reproductively performance under two systems of management ( small and scale system). Rabbits when reached to a weight of (2800-3300 gm ) were divided to two equal groups including equal numbers of each. The first group (75 does + 75 bucks) was raised under the large scale system, while the second group with ( 75 does + 75 bucks) was distributed on twenty five small holders from 5 villages belonging to El- Behira Rural Development project. Holder received a rabbit battery consisted of 6 cages for 3 does + 3 bucks representing the different three breeds. The study was carried out for a period of one year ( 1999- 2000).

Litter size at birth ( alive/ dead) and at weaning ( alive/dead), litter weight at 1 and, 3 months of age, number of services /conception and per year, mortality rate, number of parities /year, meat production kg/doe/year, net income /year.
