Performance Characteristics Of Growing Rabbits Fed Glicidia Sopium Leaf Meal As A Replacement For Groundnut

ABSTRACTThe study involved 16 yreaner crossbred (New Zealand White and Chinchila) rabbits of about eight weeks of a.fetz with initial average weight of 0.69 kg. The animals were offered a measured amount of their respective diets. The level of replacement of groundnut cake with Gliricidia leaf meal (GLM) were 0, 25 50 and 75%, to give four diets which were fed ad libitum throughout the experimental period of 35 days. The similar average daily feed intake of the rabbit fed 0, 25 and 50% GLM included diets was significantly*(P < 0.05) higher than the corresponding daily weight gain of the rabbit…
