“…The highest (P≤0.05) value of TAO recorded with 9% LPT group when compared to all test groups. This result confirmed by Lu et al (2017) who found that hepatic total anti-oxidant enzyme was significantly higher in experimental groups than control group for growing rabbits fed citrus pulp up to 21%in the diet. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) significantly (P≤0.05) increased with rabbit fed 9%LPT compared to control and other experimental groups.…”

The main target of current study was evaluated effect of incorporation of treated lemon pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (LPT) in growing rabbit diets on productive performance, antioxidant enzyme and immune response. Forty eight cross bred (New Zealand White (NZW) X California), 6 weeks age with live body weight ranging from 730.00 to 733.30g were divided into four experimental diet groups (twelve rabbits in each). Each treatment group was replicate six times and each replicates (2 rabbits in each replicate). These were divided into basal diet without LPT as a control group, while 3%, 6% and 9%LPT (replacement basal diet protein by three different levels of LPT protein) as the second, third, and fourth group, respectively. The results showed no significant differences in final body weight (FBW, g), daily body weight gain [BWG (g/rabbit/day)], daily feed intake [FI (g/rabbit/day)] and feed conversion ratio [FCR, g feed/g gain] were observed among rabbit groups and control group. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in DM, OM, CP, CF, EE, NFE% digestibility and nutritive value among experimental groups. The total lipid (TL) value increased (P≤0.05) with rabbits fed 3and 6%LPT diets groups when compared to control and 9%LPT diets. While increasing LPT up to 9% decreased (P≤0.05) the concentrate of cholesterol and triglycerides in experimental groups as compared to control group. The lowest (P≤0.05) value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was observed with 6%LPT group when compared to control and 3% treated groups. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) decreased (P≤0.05) with 6% LPT group when compared to 3 and 9% LPT dietary groups, while, no significant differences between treated groups and control group. The rabbit fed Net revenue 1 =A-B Economical efficiency (%) 2 = (Net revenue / B) X 100. Conclusively, according the experiment results, using of treated lemon pulp with yeast in growing rabbit diets up to 9% (replacing of lemon pulp treated with yeast protein by basal diet protein) could be possible without any adverse effects on performance, digestibility and nutritive value. Also, utilization of LPT in growing rabbit diets could be improvement of total antioxidant enzyme and immune response.

“…Suliman and Ameen (2018) who found that total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, ALT and urea had significant (p<0.05) difference among all rabbit groups fed lemon pulp treated by yeast when compared to control group. However, Jingzhi et al (2018) found that AST did not significantly change in rabbits at 21% citrus pulp. Generally, the experimental diets were significantly different (p<0.05) in some blood parameters among rabbit fed dietary containing 5% and 10% OP treated by S. cerevisiae yeast.…”

The current study investigated the effect of replacement of Untreated Orange Pulp (UOP) and Treated Orange Pulp (TOP) protein by basal diet protein on growth performance, digestion coefficients, some blood constitute of rabbits and economic efficiency of growing rabbit diets. Sixty cross bread (New Zealand White, NZW X California), six weeks of age with live body weight ranging from 729.20 to 738.30g were divided to five experimental groups. The experimental diets were T1, control diet without OP; T2, 5%UOP; T3, 5% TOP; T4, 10%UOP and T5, 10%TOP. The results indicated that TOP by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast increased content of the crude protein (%) and digestible energy (Kcal/kg). The best Final Body Weight (FBW, g), Body Weight Gain (BWG, g/R/day) and feed conversion ratio recorded in 5%TOP group. Digestion coefficient of Crude Protein and Digestible Crude Protein (DCP%) were significantly (P˂0.05) increased in rabbits fed low replacement level of OP (5% UOP and 5%TOP). Total lipid of plasma was significantly differences (P˂0.05) in groups fed experimental diets compared to control group. Liver function was significantly affected by experimental diets, yeast treatment and replacement level of OP. Best economic efficiency observed with 10%UOP followed by 5%TOP. It was concluded that rabbit group fed 5%TOP recorded a better performance, best digestibility for CP%, DCP and economic efficiency. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast treatment didn't effect on digestibility and nutritive value of growing rabbits.

“…The alteration of immune organ relative weight would influence animals' immune function. Lu et al (2018) reported that the thymus indexes of the citrus pulp inclusion groups demonstrated an increased trend compared with those of the control group, which indicated that the dietary inclusion of citrus pulp benefitted the health of rabbits. In mice, lack of vitamin B6 inhibits lymphocyte proliferation and maturation and reduces thymus weight (Ha et al 1984).…”

A sixty-day experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of a dietary supplement of vitamin B6 on growth performance and non-specific immune response of weaned to three month-old growing Rex rabbits. Two hundred weaned healthy Rex rabbits with similar body weight were randomly assigned to one of five dietary groups, and the dietary groups supplemented of different vitamin B6: 0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. Dietary vitamin B6 had effects on ADG and ADFI (P < .05), the highest ADG values and the lowest diarrhea ratio were found in 20 mg/kg group. Vitamin B6 had effects on the relative weight of thymus and spleen (P < .05), especially in the 10 and 20 mg/kg groups. Additionally, vitamin B6 had significant effects on serum IgA, IL-6 and IFN-γ titres and on sIgA titres in the duodenum and ileum (P < .05). Splenic IL-6 and IFN-γ mRNA expression levels increased with vitamin B6 (P < .05). Furthermore, vitamin B6 had increased M cell count in the appendix (P < .05). The findings revealed that vitamin B6 affects the immune performance of rabbits and the recommended vitamin B6 supplemental level was 10-20 mg/kg for weaned to three month-old growing Rex rabbits.
