摘要: A total of 240 rabbits (Hyplus®), weaned at 35 days age, were used for growth rate and health status evaluation. Rabbits divided into two groups (group S14 group S12), fed diets (diet Starch 14%) S12 12%) formulated according to the most recent recommendations rabbit feeding. The study was performed on a commercial farm. similar in level crude protein, fibre fractions fat, but differed starch (14.4 vs. 11.9% diets, respectively) consequently digestible energy (10.0 9.6 MJ/kg), as well protein/digestible ratio. received diet from weaning slaughter (77 age). Those 49 age then with till slaughter. No significant differences observed feed intake between groups. For entire fattening period, weight gain values group, lower than those non recorded (39.9 41.3 g/d, P=0.10). Rabbit mortality relatively low no groups, either during post-weaning or finishing period. However, both morbidity (P=0.01) risk index (P=0.03) be significantly higher group. highest number sick before change diet. Similar subsequently It can concluded that i) dietary did not prevent digestive troubles ii) 14% is suitable good
