“…Similarly, [60] reported similar results when rabbits were fed diets containing 30% olive cake meal along with a 1% bentonite addition. Additionally, our findings were consistent with those of [61] who found that incorporating 10% of date waste meal into the diet led to better final BW compared to higher percentages such as 30% and 40%. Furthermore, [11,62] Egypt.…”

“…These findings align with previous studies by [69] who found that rabbits fed on a diet containing 25% discarded dates had the highest feed intake and best FCR. Similarly, [61] reported that feeding rabbits with 10% date waste meal resulted in superior FCR performance. Furthermore, [70] as well as [71] noted increased feed intake when using date by-products; this might be attributed to their favorable palatability properties, supporting earlier suggestions by [67].…”

T HE OBJECTIVE of this study was to assess the impact of incorporating different percentages (7.5% and 10%) of dried olive cake and ground date palm together with or without bentonite addition (1%) on economic efficiency, growth performance, gene expression, histopathological findings, and behavioral responses in New Zealand and V-line rabbit breeds. A total of 100 weaning rabbits, from both New Zealand and V-line breeds, were used. The groups were categorized in to five groups per breed based on the content of their feed. The inclusion of bentonite at 1% in combination with both DOC and GDP led to enhanced growth performance for both breeds. From an economic perspective, reduced costs per kilogram of feed, overall feed expenses, leading to lower total production costs. Additionally, significantly higher total return, net profit, and economic efficiency measures were specifically observed within the G10%B group. Gene expression revealed non-significant differences in the growth markers. Bentonite addition at 1% increased the expression profile of antioxidant markers. These findings were also established through the changes in histological features, including increased length of mucosal folds, villi, crypt depth in the intestine, and an enlarged hepatic lobule area in the liver. The groups that consumed treated diets displayed enhanced behavior through increased feeding and grooming activities, as well as reduced periods of inactivity. In conclusion, the inclusion of DOC and GDP together at a rate of 7.5% or 10%, along with an additional 1% bentonite in the diet of growing rabbits, has the potential to yield cost-effective production outcomes.

“…Mortality was checked daily to allow for adjustments to the feed conversion ratio (FCR). The weekly feed conversion ratio was calculated using FCR = ((F1(g/rabbit/week)) ÷ ((BWG(g/rabbit/week)), as described by Abo-Eid et al [ 39 ], where BW1 = BW at the beginning of the experimental period and BW2 = BW at the end of the experimental period. The relative performance parameters (FCR and BWG) were calculated with regard to the positive and negative control groups as follows: Relative FCR = (FCR of tested group/FCR of control group) × 100 Relative BWG = (BWG of tested group/BWG of control group) × 100 …”

Healthy, weaned, coccidial-free male rabbits from two breeds (New Zealand white (NZ) and V-line (VL)) were divided into 10 equal groups (5 groups each for NZ and VL) (3 replicates/group, 6 rabbits/replicate, 18 rabbits/group). All rabbits were inoculated with 5 × 104 Eimeria spp. oocysts (E. intestinalis (67%), E. magna (22%), and E. media (11%)) except for the rabbits in the first group (G1), which were inoculated with a sterile solution and served as a negative control. The remaining four groups were treated as follows: G2, no treatment/positive control, G3, treated with neem leaf extract, G4, treated with pomegranate peel extract (PPE), and G5, treated with a combination of neem leaf extract and PPE. For both breeds, our results showed that the use of neem leaf and/or pomegranate peel extract resulted in improved growth performance, with a significant improvement in relative feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the positive control groups, which recorded the worst values, as well as a significant (p ≤ 0.05) reduction in mean oocyst count compared to the positive control groups. We also observed downregulation of mRNA levels of IL-1βα, IL6, and TNF-α in the herbal treatment groups compared with the mRNA levels of these genes in the positive control groups. Herbal treatment with neem leaf and/or pomegranate peel extracts had positive effects on the NZ and VL rabbits experimentally infected with mixed Eimeria species, as evidenced by their healthy appearance, good appetite, no mortalities, an anticoccidial index > 120, and a significantly higher total return and net profit when compared to the positive control groups of both breeds. In NZ rabbits, the treatment with neem leaf extract alone (G3) or in combination with PPE (G5) recorded the most efficient economic anticoccidial activity.

“…According to their head index, PP, CC and NN had oval head type because they had the index value of the width-size division to the head length > 0.50, and their body type are commercial (ARBA, 2011). Commercial body type of rabbits were expression of broiler rabbit that has a larger body size and shape (Abo-Eid et al, 2016). Eye color of three breeds of rabbit were red, that eye color is determined by the distribution and pigment content of melanocytes and melanosomes in the iris of eye.…”

Importations were done to overcome raising demand on broiler rabbit. Hycole, Hyla and New Zealand White rabbits have a superiority on high growth rate and prolification rate. The body weight of Hyla's rabbit in the age of 70 d can reach 2 160 g (de la Abstract | Hycole and Hyla rabbits were imported in 2012 and 2013. Hycole and Hyla rabbits were known as best broiler rabbit and had potentiality as genetic resources to develop Indonesian broiler rabbit. The aim of this study was to characterize phenotype of Hycole and Hyla rabbits to evaluate their adaptability in tropical environments.
