| description | A study was conducted to examine the effect of inclusion of Indukantham kashayam residue on growth performance and economics of production of weaned New Zealand White rabbits. Eighteen weaned New Zealand White rabbits of four to six weeks age were selected from Rabbit Breeding Station, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy. The experimental animals were randomly divided into three groups of six animals each and one of the three dietary treatments T1 (control diet with 18 per cent CP and 2700 kcal DE), T2 (Diet containing 5 per cent Indukantham kashayam residues) and T3 (Diet containing 10 per cent Indukantham kashayam residues) was alloted to each group. Data on weekly weight gain and daily feed intake were collected during course of study, while feed conversion ratio and economics of production were computed. The findings of the current study revealed that growth performance of weaned New Zealand White rabbits remained unaffected (p>0.05) among the dietary treatments. Indukantham kashayam residue can be included in the diet of growing rabbits up to 10 per cent level to reduce cost of production. |
