Twenty four healthy V-Line growing rabbits, 5 weeks of age and initial live body weight (LBW) of 722 ± 27 g, were selected and randomly assigned to one of four dietary experimental groups of 6 rabbits in each. The four groups of rabbits received basal diet ad libitum (Control group; T1) and basal diet plus 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0 g Biogen / Kg diet in the other three treated groups (T2, T3 and T4, respectively). Growth performance traits till 14 weeks of age in terms of live body weight, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics, blood traits and the economic impact of adding Biogen to growing rabbit diets were tested.The obtained results indicated that LBW improved by about 4. 29, 4.75 and 11.68%, respectively in T2, T3 and T4 groups supplemented with Biogen than the control (T1).

This study aimed to investigate and evaluate the effect of feeding two DDGs levels with or without citric acid on reproductive and productive performance of Black Baladi rabbits. The experiment used Fifteen mature female and fifteen males at seven and eight months' age with average live body weights (LBW) of 2900 ±100 g and 3300 ±100 g, respectively. Following, Forty-five produced growing bunnies with average LBW of 511±13 g at five weeks age lasted for six weeks growing period (5-11 weeks). All experimental rabbits were fed ad libitum on T1: Basal diet without DDGs and citric acid; CA (Control), T2: diet contained 40% DDGs, T3: diet contained 50% DDGs, T4: 40% DDGs and T5: 50% DDGs plus 1% CA each. Feeding DDGs diets with or without CA did not affect some reproductive traits of does and litter size at birth and weaning. While, litter weight significantly and live weight gain (non-significantly) improved with 40% DDGs plus CA at birth and weaning. Mortality rate significantly increased in DDGs groups during suckling period, but decreased with CA. Semen quality traits were improved with 40% DDGs plus CA. The LBW and daily weight gain (DWG) of growing rabbits improved with CA. Average daily feed intake/rabbit nonsignificantly increased and feed conversion ratio significantly improved with 40% DDGs with and without CA. The DDGs diets were of positive impact on rabbits blood parameters and slaughtering weights as well. It conclusion, the use of DDGs in the diets of mature and growing rabbits up to 40% with adding CA is fruitful in reproductive and productive traits of rabbits.

“…Hubbard and O'Brien (2012) define the economic efficiency as a result of the market in which the marginal benefit of the consumer of the last unit produced is equal to the marginal cost of production and in which the sum of the consumer surplus and the producer surplus is at the maximum. According to Kilmer and Armbruster (1984), it is an economically efficient allocation of resources, maximizing the consumer and producer surpluses. Skaggs and Carlson (1996) define the economic efficiency as obtaining the maximum benefit for the given cost or minimizing the cost for the given benefit.…”

Th e scientifi c contribution builds on the previous scientifi c studies analysing the determinants of productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities and extends the knowledge of the spatial econometrics area at the NUTS IV level (at the district level) for the reporting period. Th e paper aimed to assess the development of productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities in the reporting period based on the synthetic evaluation of the selected economic indicators by the methods of cluster analysis, and so to create a spatial map according to the regional diff erentiation at the NUTS IV level. On the basis of the completed analysis, we can conclude that the natural and climatic conditions have a dominant infl uence on the achievable productivity and economic effi ciency of the agricultural entities in ensuring the sustainability of the economic performance of agriculture in diff erent regions of Slovakia. On the basis of conducting the analysis, there were clearly defi ned two relatively coherent areas in Slovakia (at the district level), which are characterized by diff erences in the achieved production indicators and allow the regional diff erentiation of Slovakia into districts with more and less prosperous agricultural enterprises.
