Abstract:

Sugarcane peels (SCP) is available in large quantities all year round especially in sugar industries where they are discarded as waste product. It contains high amount of carbohydrate and minerals which could be fed to animals especially when properly processed and supplemented with exogenous enzyme to aid the animal digest it. Fifty - four weaned 4-5 weeks old crosses of New Zealand white x Chinchilla male rabbits were utilized to evaluate the effect of feeding sugarcane peel meal-based diets supplemented with quantum blue® on the growth performance parameters (initial weight, final weight, w

Abstract:

Effect of graded levels of methionine supplementation on the performance of weaner rabbits fed diets containing raw pigeon pea seed meal were studied in a 42-day feeding trial. Four experimental weaner rabbit diets were formulated such that raw pigeon pea seed meal (RPSM) made up 300.0g kg-1 in each diet. Methionine was respectively supplemented at 0.0, (control diet), 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 g kg-1 in the four weaner rabbit diets. These diets and water were offered ad libitum to 3 replicates of 2, six weeks old mixed breed rabbits. The results indicated that the daily weight gains were 2.62, 2.85, 5

Abstract:

Faecal microbial analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the health and performance of weaner rabbits. This study examines the intricate relationship between diet and faecal microbiota composition in weaner rabbits, and investigates the feasibility of incorporating biogas slurry into animal feed without adversely affecting the microbial gut content.  The primary objective was to determine the effect of feeding diets containing graded levels of biogas slurry on the faecal micro-biodata and Coliform content.

Abstract:

The need to seek for alternative feed materials to replace maize as source of energy to support growth in weaner rabbits necessitated this study. A feeding trial of 84 days using unsexed rabbit crosses (New Zealand white and Chinchilla) was conducted to assess the replacement value of African Locust bean fruit pulp for maize in weaner rabbits diet. Five diets were formulated, such that 100% maize and 0.00% fruit pulp of African fruit pulp at (T1), 75% maize and 25% inclusion of African locust bean at (T2), 50% maize and 50% African locust bean pulp as (T3), 25% maize and 75% African fruit pulp
