Wool produced by Angora Rabbits is considered to be one of finest in the wool and its production is only second to sheep wool and mohair. Production of this fibre is influenced by genetic and non-genetic factors and these bear significant correlations with body weights at different ages. Therefore, the present study was undertaken with the objectives to estimate the performance traits of Angora Rabbits, effect of breed and non-genetic influences on the these performance traits of Angora Rabbits under organized sector in Kashmir. The least squares means were 0.39±0.02 (kg), 0.95±0.02 (kg), 2.41±0.07(kg), 454.73±0.74 (gm), 5.65±0.04 (cm), 2.38±0.05 (%) and 12.29±0.04 (µ) for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW), average wool yield (AWY), staple length (SL), medullation percent (MD) and fibre diameter (FD), respectively. The effect of sex, year and season was non-significant on all traits understudy whereas the breed effect was significant on AWY, SL and MD only.
