Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of using potato tops hay instead of clover hay at levels of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 % in rabbit diets on the growth performance, feed efficiency, digestibility coefficient and some carcass traits of the NZW rabbits during the growing period from 5 to 13 weeks of age.A total of sixty NZW rabbits at 5 weeks of age were randomly divided into 6 groups, each of 10 individuals, the average body weight of rabbits in the experimental groups at beginning of the experiment ranged from 715 to 718 g. Each treatment group received one of six experimental pelleted diets. At 11 weeks of age, digestibility trial was carried out for five days and, at 13 weeks of age, five individuals were slaughtered to study carcass and offal traits.
