“…Results in Table (6) showed that rabbits fed HB diets (D2, D3 and D4) had significantly (P<0.05) increased the average total viable count of bacteria compared with those fed the control diet without HB (D1). Similar trend was obtained by El-Gogary et al (2018) on rabbits. It is of great importance to note that replacing concentrate feed mixture (CFM) protein by HB significantly increase the total viable bacterial count, since HB has shown much improving positive effects on growth performance and controlling of pathogenic bacteria.…”

Fourty growing APRI male rabbits at the age of 5 weeks old were used to investigate the impact of partial replacement of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) CP by different levels of hydroponic barley (HB) on rabbits performance, digestibility, feeding value, some blood constituents and caecum microbial count. The changes in chemical composition of HB during 6, 7 and 8 days of growth period was also studied. Rabbits were randomly divided into four experimental groups (10 rabbits in each) and were housed in individual cages provided with continuous feeders and automatic water nipples during the experimental period (5-12 week of age). The first group was fed pelleted CFM diet with 16% CP (control, D1), while the 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th groups were fed the control diet but 20, 40 and 60% of CP was replaced by HB (D2, D3 and D4, respectively) in a feeding trial which lasted for 7 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, four digestibility trials were carried out on three rabbits of each treatment. Animals were fed the same tested diet as that in feeding trial. Three rabbits of each treatment were slaughtered at the end of digestibility trials. The main results generally showed that there was a tendency for gradual decreases in DM and NFE content, but increases in Ash, EE, CP and CF content by advancing age of sprouting. Rabbits fed D2 recorded the highest significantly (P < 0.05) values of digestion coefficients of CP and CF, while the lowest significantly (P < 0.05) values were recorded with rabbits fed D4 diet. There were positive significant (P<0.05) effect of feeding HB at levels of 20 and 40 % on concentrations of blood total protein, albumin and glucose. Rabbits fed HB diets (D2, D3 and D4) had significantly (P < 0.05) higher total viable count of bacteria in caecum compared with those fed the control diet without HB (D1). It may be concluded that replacing of HB at the rate of 20 or 40 % of CFM protein in growing rabbit diets had beneficial effects on most criteria studied. Higher level (60% of HB) used herein in rabbit diets is not recommended since it negatively affected nutrients digestibility and feeding values of tested diets.

“…The results related to supplementing rabbits' diet with 0.5 g/kg garlic essential oil led to enhance rabbit's humoral immune response, which reflected into in higher significant increases in immunoglobulin. But, the high dose of garlic oil (0.75 g/kg) reduced the immunity response which could be due to the toxic effect of an overdose (Alagawany et al, 2016, El-Gogary 2018. El-Gogary (2018) found significant increase in TAC and significant decrease in MDA in the blood as affected by supplanting rabbit's diet with essential oil.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding emulsified or nano-emulsified essential oil blend (garlic, pomegranate, tea tree essential oil), at the same level to weaned Mountain rabbits diet, on their growth performance, blood components, meat analysis, meat fatty acids and immunity indices. A total of forty-five weaned Mountain rabbits, were assigned randomly to 3 similar groups. Rabbits in the 1 st group (T1, the control) were fed only concentrate feed mixture. The 2 nd group (T2) and 3rd group (T3) were fed concentrate feed mixture supplemented with either 0.75 ml/kg diet emulsified, or 0.75 ml/kg diet nano-emulsified essential oil blend, respectively. Results of growth performance revealed that T2 and T3 recoded (P<0.05) higher final live body weight compared with T1, while, T2 and T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher hot carcass weight compared with T1. Regarding meat protein content for the three tested groups T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher value and (P<0.05) the lowest fat content, TVN and TBA compared with T1. Rabbits of T1 found to have (P<0.05) higher triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, creatinine AST and ALT compared with T2 and T3. Immunity values in terms of IgG and IgM were (P<0.05) higher in favor of T3. T3 recorded the best significant (P<0.05) antioxidant in term of GPx and SOD. The control group T1 recoded (P<0.05) the highest significant values of total saturated fatty acids. Opposite trends were realized regarding monounsaturated fatty acids and total poly unsaturated fatty acids where T3 had (P<0.05) higher significant values.

“…The basal diet was formulated to contain 18.02% crude protein; 2512 kcal/kg digestible energy; 15.30% crude fiber; 2.87% Ether extract; 1.30% Calcium; 0.71% Non-phytate P; 0.88% Lysine; 0.23% Methionine and 0.54% Meth. + Cyst as reported in our previous research (El-Gogary et al, 2018). Rabbits were housed in prepared one level battery confines (50 × 60 cm) for the entire growing period which lasted two months (7-14 Wk).…”

The efficacy of rosemary essential oil (REO), as feed additive, on growth and blood constituents of growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits was evaluated. Thirty six NZW were distributed into four groups: 1 control and 3 treated groups. The control was fed the basal diet, while feeds of other treatments were fortified with 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 g/kg REO for groups 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The criteria of response were growth performance, carcass traits, blood glucose, plasma lipids, immunoglobulins, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and testosterone concentrations. Results revealed that REO supplementation had no critical impacts on growth performance, carcass yeild or blood glucose. Rabbits recieving dietary REO exhibited lower lipid profile and higher immunoglobulins A than those of the control. The treated rabbits displayed significantly higher TAC than the basal group with the best reaction for those fed G3 diet. In a similar way, MDA was reduced essentially by including REO. There was a significant increase in testosterone levels due to added REO. The present results indicate that supplemental REO at 0.5 g/kg of diet has a beneficial impact on lipid profile, immunity and antioxidant status of rabbits.
