Abstract	The rabbit meat production could represent a valuable source of proteins for developing or less developed countries due to the sustainable efficiency of this species in prolificacy and capacity to use local feedstuffs or agro-industrial by-products. To reduce the animal protein shortage of the population and to promote this new agricultural production, some of these countries decided to develop this kind of production in small or medium-scale units The failure of some rabbits projects, based on the importation of exotic breeds (Lukefahr 2004; Oseni 2008a) led the producers to consider more sustainable projects. This paper will review and analyze some of these projects, focusing on their genetic aspects in terms of: (1) genetic improvement programs; (2) estimation of selection responses; (3) direct and maternal heterotic effects obtained from crossbreeding; (4) attempts to identify specific genetic markers. The other aspects such as management, sanitary conditions, feedstuff availability are as well important (see for example Lukefahr, S.D. 2004; Samkol, P. and Lukefahr, S.D. 2008).
