Abstract:An experiment was conducted to determine effects of betaine on growth performance and intestinal health in rabbits fed diets with different levels of digestible energy. During a 36-day experiment, a total of 144 healthy 35-day-old weaned New Zealand white rabbits with a similar initial body weight (771.05 ± 41.79 g) were randomly distributed to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. Experimental treatments consisted of two levels of digestible energy (normal: 10.20, and low: 9.60 MJ/kg) and three levels of betaine (0,… Show more
