Apparent digestibility of mixed feed with increasing levels of perilla (Perilla frutescens L.) seeds in rabbit diets
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of three levels (0, 5 and 10%) of perilla (Perilla frutescens L.) seeds (PFS), included in isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets, on the apparent digestibility in rabbit aged of 73 days. The trial was carried out on 30 crossbred (Carmagnola Grey x New...

| description | The aim of this study was to determine the effects of three levels (0, 5 and 10%) of perilla (Perilla frutescens L.) seeds (PFS), included in isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets, on the apparent digestibility in rabbit aged of 73 days. The trial was carried out on 30 crossbred (Carmagnola Grey x New Zealand) rabbits randomly divided in three groups of ten animals each (five male and five female rabbits). Each of them was kept in individual cages. The faeces were collected during the last week of a growing trial that lasted 50 days. No obvious health problems were encountered during the experiment and no rabbits died during the trial. The measured parameters were digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and gross energy. The only parameter that was modified by the inclusion of PFS was the ether extract digestibility; it resulted higher in the 10% PFS diet (83.9%) than in the other two diets. Perilla seed may be used satisfactorily as a nutrient supplement for rabbits at levels of up to 10% in the diet with a better digestibility of ether extract than in the other two diets. |
