different copies of integrated gene, the site of transgene<br />

insertion or its genomic environment, which could<br />

influence its expression (Salvo-Garrido et al., 2004).<br />

Meat quality from transgenic rabbits<br />

In practice specialized rabbit lines are used for the meat<br />

production that maximize heterosis and complementary<br />

effects in the generation of commercial hybrids within<br />

hybridisation schemes. Lines are created on the basis of<br />

multi-breed crossing and various types of selection.<br />

Results of such processes are populations of animals with<br />

fixed genes for the complex of maternal properties<br />

(maternal lines) and population bred for intensive growth<br />

and fattening capacity (paternal lines) (Mach et al., 2004).<br />

Harmonized criteria that enable comparison of parameters<br />

among various groups of animals are used to evaluate the<br />

level of performance (Rafay et al., 2008).<br />

Usage of the gene construct (WAP-hFVIII) should provide<br />

expression of recombinant protein into the mammary<br />

gland only. Since transgenic rabbits should have integrated<br />

gene in each cell with nucleus, the objective of this work<br />

was to evaluate the possible effect of the gene integration<br />

on 1) complex of growth and carcass traits, 2) qualitative<br />

meat parameters and 3) concentrations of selected<br />

constituents in rabbit meat.<br />

Values of studied characteristics of growth, carcass<br />

characteristics and meat quality mentioned in our reported<br />

papers are comparable with values in zootechnical<br />

literature (Ludewig et al., 2003). In most cases the<br />

presence of WAP-hFVIII gene in genotype of rabbits<br />

generally did not influence milk and meat performance.<br />

More important differences were noticed in meat quality<br />

characteristics only.<br />

In previous article (Rafay et al., 1996) we found content<br />

of water in rabbit meat (m. long. dorsii) in value<br />

corresponding with data obtained from muscle of leg in<br />

both groups in this study. Similarly Szendrö et al., (1996)<br />

assessed water content in samples of muscle from hind<br />

legs of rabbits weighing 2.500 – 2.590 kg. Statistically<br />

significant difference in water content in muscles of legs<br />

between transgenic and non-transgenic animals found in<br />

our work represents 0.81 %, and it can be taken for artefact<br />

connected with manipulation of samples before analysis<br />

and low degree of statistical group variability. Muscular<br />

fat consists of phospholipides of muscular contractile<br />

fibres, fibroblasts and membranes of adipocytes,<br />

glycerides located on adipocytes around fibres and free<br />

fatty acids. It stimulates nutritive value and organoleptic<br />

properties in meat.<br />

According to Lambertini et al., (1996) and Hernandez et<br />

al., (1998), differences in meat quality parameters among<br />

genotypes of rabbits are constant. Content of fat improves<br />

at the expense of water content (Battaglini et al., 1994). It<br />

was found in some cases that in older rabbit glycolytical<br />

metabolism is increased, concentration of myoglobin and<br />

pH value decreases (Hulot and Ouhayoun, 1999).<br />

Changes observed in content of water, fat, energy and<br />

water holding capacity are connected with the change of<br />

histological structure and level of metabolic processes. It is<br />

possible that these changes are caused by pleiotropic effect<br />

of the integrated gene.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

In conclusion, present review documents that recombinant<br />

hFVIII can be steadily secreted over multiple generations<br />

without any interference on milk and meat production and<br />

quality. Our results from several reports showed that milk<br />

and meat performance of transgenic rabbit over several<br />

generations did not differ significantly from those of nontransgenic<br />

animals.<br />
