The PS Hyplus OPTIMA female inherited the challenge selection on resistance to infectious disorders from the GP25 male, but also all the sustainability work carried out on the GP OPTIMA female. This parental female was designed to respond to an actual cost reduction model, by optimising the sellable carcass kilos per AI. The common threads of this approach were the reduction in medication, animal welfare and breeder well-being. The results of our field trials confirmed the performance estimated in our genetic predictions. The PS Hyplus OPTIMA female is proof that the quest for performance does not exclude ease of handling and robustness.

With my new GP female, the daily management is identical to that of the parental females, but she is much simpler to handle.
The maternal and milking characteristics of the GP OPTIMA female have also enabled me to improve the weaning weight. As a result, I produce more PS / AI.

Its selection is based on its slaughter weight at between 70 and 91 days, on the consumption index and viability in breeding and, mainly, on the maximisation of its carcass yield, measured since 1987. These selection efforts make it the best candidate to improve the value of the end product.



With the coloured PS 119 male, 100% of the meat rabbits obtained are coloured and have black eyes.
These characteristics make it possible to meet the various specifications for the production of coloured rabbits. In addition, this male is selected on the consumption index and viability in breeding, and also on the quality of the carcasses.


The PS 40 terminal male is the result of a direct cross between the meat lines HYPLUS 39 and 59.
This hybrid male combines the weight and yield qualities of its sire lines to allow earlier slaughter (63-65 days), while maintaining a high selling weight and carcass yield.
