| Popis: | This study presents an experimental investigation of the dietary inclusion effect of dried Kochia indica Wight (K) tree foliages on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of growing rabbits. Four experimental diets were prepared in which 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the berseem hay (Trifolium alexandrinum L., Egyptian clover) in the control (K0) diet was replaced by dried Kochia foliages and designated as K25, K50, K75 and K100, respectively. Live weight at 6th, 7th and 8th weeks of age for K25, K50, K75 and K100 diet fed rabbits were similar to the K0 while other diets aside K25 reduced the live body weight and final live body weight. Total body weight gain between week (6–13 weeks of age) was higher (P |
