- W98278343 abstract "Effect of concentrate feed restriction with ad libitum forage (Tridax procumbens) feeding on performance, carcass yield and relative organ weights were investigated in weaner rabbits in a humid tropical environment of Nigeria. Thirty-six growing rabbits of mixed breed (Chinchilla x Dutch x California White) and sexes with an average weight of 600 g were assigned to three feeding regime in a completely randomized design. The study lasted 8 weeks. The three feeding regime were: (A) ad libitum concentrate feeding + ad libitum forage feeding (control), (B) skip-aday concentrate feeding per week + ad libitum forage feeding and (C) skip-2-days concentrate feeding per week + ad libitum forage feeding. The forage used was air-dried Tridax procumbens. Drinking water was supplied free-choice throughout the duration of the experiment. Each treatment group was replicated six times with two rabbits housed in the same cage serving as replicate. Weight gain (Total and Average daily), final body weight, feed intake (Total and Average daily) and feed: gain ratio of rabbits were not significantly (P>0.05) different among the treatment groups. Although feed intake was not different among the three treatments, however concentrate intake (Total and average daily), forage intake (total and average daily) as well as percentage concentrate and forage in daily feed intake were significantly (P B > A. The Concentrate percentage of daily feed intake reduced with increased severity of concentrate restriction while that of forage increased with concentrate restriction from 56.15% in ad libitum concentrate fed group to the highest amount of 68.45% in rabbits on skip-two-days of concentrate feeding per week. Dressing percentage and retail cuts were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by feeding regime. Similarly the internal organs (livers, kidneys, lungs and hearts) were not affected by the treatments (P>0.05). The results obtained from this study showed that rabbits could be subjected to two days skipping of concentrate feed per week with ad libitum forage feeding without compromising performance and carcass quality characteristic. Keywords : Feeding regime, skip-a-day, skip-two-days, forage, rabbits and performance." @default.
