EFFECTS OF DIETARY MANNAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE IN COMPARISON TO OXYTETRACYCLIN ON PERFORMANCE OF GROWING RABBITS

摘要: Digestive disorders in rabbits are quite frequent. Therefore feed additives, which can lower the risk of digestive and enhance performance, useful tools to rabbit nutritionist stockman. The aims present trials were compare effects mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) oxytetracycline (OTC) on health performance. trial was set up as a complete randomized design comparing 4 dietary regimes with total 633 Hybrid Hyla 73 cages. Commercial grower introduced day 18. Rabbits weaned 28. Starter offered through 46 finisher from 47-70. diets did either contain 2000 ppm MOS (Bio-Mos, Alltech Inc.) or OTC (20%) 1000 diet, respectively. treatments follows: Starter-Finisher: MOS-MOS, MOS-OTC, OTC-MOS OTC-OTC. Rabbit performance mortality evaluated. Data subjected ANOVA analysis spit-plot. Overall weight gain comparable between treatments. However group receiving throughout tended eat more feed. Due higher intake FCR significantly this compared other 3 groups. Mortality also being affected by treatment lowest losses MOS-MOS group. Under conditions similar superior oxytetracycline.
