| Popis: | Studies were conducted to determine the effects of dietary inclusion of cracked and cooked jackbean ICAC JOB) and jackbean that was soaked in water for 72 hours prior to cooking (SACJB) on the performance of young growing rabbits. Five experimental diets were made such that diet I (control) contained no jackbean while diets 2 and 3 contained CACIB at 20% and 30% levels, respectively; diets 4 and 5 contained SAC B also at 20% and 30% levels, respectively. Each diet was fcd to a group of 5 rabbits individually housed for 8 weeks. Feed intakes of the control group and groups on CACIB diets were significantly (P0.05). There were also no significant differences (P>0.05) in dressing percentage of the groups. Thigh muscles of the groups on SACJB diets contained more fat and less protein relative to the other three groups. |
