The experiment aimed to determine the growth rate and chemical composition of the carcasses of a few body parts in both male and female New Zealand White rabbits. It was crucial to make sure that the growth rates of the sexes and ages differed to accomplish this, particularly in terms of potential growth. In this regard, the experiment was successful because there were significant variations in the ages of all body parts that were measured. All of the physical components that were measured showed weight variations throughout all age groups (days), supporting previous findings indicating that these components seem to vary by sex [
14]. The two sexes analyzed in the trial for growth and carcass analysis turned out to be nearly identical because they had comparable mature body weights and protein, water, and lipid contents, as well as remarkably similar maturation rates. While male and female NZW rabbits exhibited similar growth patterns, the significant sex–age interactions indicate differences in maturation rates and body composition. In contrast to the findings reported by Dal Bosco et al. [
2] and Yalcin et al. [
15], the mean values for live weights obtained in this study were higher in males than in females. These variations could have been caused by a number of variables, including feeding circumstances, weaning ages, environmental factors, and slaughtering ages [
16], but they did not significantly affect the results of the current study (
Table 1). Compared to the studies of Fodor et al. [
1] and Dal Bosco et al. [
2], which focused on shorter growth periods, our study’s 140-day duration and detailed chemical composition analysis provide a more comprehensive view of NZW rabbit growth and carcass development. The lower body weights observed (e.g., ~1.7 kg at 140 days) compared to typical NZW weights (~2.5 kg at 90 days) may reflect genetic variation in the strain or the absence of growth promoters in the diet. It has been noted that both sexes’ live weights increased as they aged. This is expected because, as the animal grows, its body size and shape should also increase in tandem with age until maturity, at which point growth will gradually slow down and eventually cease [
17]. A proper description of potential growth will address the systematic changes in the physical composition of the body that occur during growth [
8]. The intended result was a wide range of body growth rates and weights of the physical components of the animals in the sample, produced in the two sexes (male and female). In the current study, the sex of the rabbits did not seem to have any effect on the physical body components’ growth patterns. The body protein in the chemical composition of the carcass caused a significant difference (
p < 0.001) in the response from both male and female NZW rabbits. Fluctuations in male protein and lipid contents, particularly at 84–112 days, may show the onset of puberty, which can alter lipid deposition, or sampling variation due to individual differences among rabbits. Geneticists could therefore benefit from the innate growth and developmental differences between the sexes by raising male and female rabbits apart while providing them with a similar nutritional diet. A balanced, non-limiting nutritional schedule improved growth performance, according to the study’s findings. Since nutrients can be adjusted to promote faster growth and higher body weights in males, as demonstrated in this trial, raising the sexes separately may help to increase body weight uniformity. As a formal way of comparing the potential growth rates of the sexes at maturity, it is interesting to determine how much the relationship between the various body components and body protein weight would differ between male and female NZW rabbits by fitting Gompertz growth curves to these data for the sexes. Therefore, statistical comparisons could be made between the three Gompertz equation components rather than mean weekly weights. These details can be used to characterize the breed [
3]. Females matured earlier than males, as evidenced by their higher maturation rate (B = 0.02496 vs. 0.02135) and lower age at maximum growth rate (t* = 309 vs. 315 days). This is because the rate of maturation is inversely related to pelt-free body weights. Additionally, all males had higher mature weights than females in each body component measured at the end of the trial. This indicates that females matured at a faster rate than males, which led to their mature weight being higher earlier. The rate of maturation of protein in females (0.0172) was faster than in males (0.0103), while males had a higher mature weight than females (1497 vs. 843 g/kg). Also, for body water and body lipids, the mature weight of the males was heavier than that of the females (1260 vs. 1191 g/kg and 252 vs. 227 g/kg, respectively). In terms of the rate of maturation, body water and body lipids matured faster in females than in males (0.0391 vs. 0.0356 g/kg and 0.0471 vs. 0.0410, respectively). It is expected that body water, lipid, and ash contents in NZW rabbits growing to their genetic potential will be allometrically related to body protein [
18]. This was found to be true in this experiment with the equations shown in
Table 6. In order to determine allometric relationships between these chemical components and body protein, Riveira Torres et al. [
19] related the weights of body protein, water, lipids, and ash to pelt-free body weight. Simple power functions offer good descriptions of these relationships. When two variables share the same rate of maturation, they are said to be allometrically related [
20]. In the chemical composition of this study, the rates of maturation shared by the water, protein, and lipid contents were the same. The water deposition in the NZW rabbits was much higher than the protein deposition, according to allometric coefficients characterizing the correlations between the water, lipid, and ash weights and protein weight in this study. The amount of water in the body dropped as the age of the rabbits increased, although the proportion of protein increased, as shown by the allometric coefficients. While lipid deposition is influenced by dietary and environmental factors, protein deposition is controlled by genetic factors [
21]. The growing percentage of body lipids is usually responsible for the decreasing rate of water deposition in relation to body weight throughout growth. According to the current findings and those of Gous et al. [
8], variations in the fraction of tissues with varying water-to-protein ratios may be the cause of the decrease in water weight as compared to protein weight. The allometric relationship between body protein and live weight in this study demonstrated an isogonic trend, with protein rising in proportion to the rise in live weight.
