Effect of Dietary Garden Cress Seeds on Growth Performance, Feed Utilization, Carcass Characteristics and some Physiological Responses of Growing Rabbits
Abstract:A total number of 72 growing rabbits (V-Line) with an average initial weight of 605 ± 8.79 g live body. Rabbits at the age of 6 weeks were used to investigate the effect of increasing levels of garden cress, Lepidium sativum, seeds (0, 3, 4.5, 6%) on growth performance, feed utilization, digestibility, carcass characters and physiological performance. The growing rabbits were fed the experimental diets for 7 weeks. The results revealed that garden cress seeds contain considerable levels of crude proteins and c… Show more
