| Abstract: |
In this experiment, 15 German mixed bunnies (male & female) of 7 to 9 months of age were divided into 5
dietary groups comprising of 3 rabbits in each. The experiment was conducted for 157 days during the
winter-spring season in 2005. Animals of first diet group (D1) were fed with Hetaunda cattle feed + adlib
green grass, second diet group (D2) consisted of wheat bran + adlib green grass, third diet group (D3) had
rice bran + ad lib green grass, fourth diet group (D4) consisted of maize + adlib green grasses, and fifth diet
group (Ds) had mixed concentrate + adlib green grass. A digestibility trial for 7 day was carried out at the
end of experiment. Daily feed intake, and urine and faeces excreted by the animals were recorded. Body
weight change was recorded at 15 days interval. Feed intake in all dietary groups was not significantly
different. The average daily gain (ADG) was not significantly different as well. However, the ADG was the
highest with D3 (6.58 g/d) numerically. The lowest ADG was recorded with Dt (2.97) with lower
digestibility Co-efficient (58.11 %). Higher CP, ADF & NDF digestibility was recorded in D2 group. Feed
conversion ratio (FCR) was the best in Diet 3 ( 16.29). Fibre production was significantly higher (p<0.05) in
D5 (385±84) Fibre production was higher in Diet 5. From this evidence, it cam be suggested that D3 that
include rice bran in the diet as concentrate feed could be used for rabbit feeding as this diet group had
highest ADG, FCR lowest DMI and better digestibility ofCP,NDF and ADF. |
