The objective of this study was to compare physicochemical traits and sensory profile of meat from rabbits of both sexes belonging to two genotypes, local population and new line (ITELV 2006) which exhibited better characteristics due to its genetic potential. A total of 60 rabbits at 90 days of age were used in the experiment. At slaughter, meat physicochemical and sensory characteristics were measured on Longissimus lumborum muscle. Differences related to genotype were found in most of the physicochemical characteristics studied like Cooking Losses ( P 0.05). Interestingly, no relevant differences were found between meat from male and female rabbits in all the variables studied ( P > 0.05). It was concluded that meat quality was mainly affected by genotype. Thus, the new line exhibited good physicochemical characteristics compared to the local one. This study is the first to analyse and compare the physicochemical and sensory properties of Algerian rabbit meat.
