Popis: To evaluate the effect of digestible fibre (DF) to starch ratio (0.8, 1.5, and 2.8) and protein level (15% and 16%) on health status, digestive physiology, growth performance, and carcass traits, 246 rabbits weaned at 33 d were fed until slaughter (75 d) six diets formulated according to a bi-factorial arrangement (3 DF to starch ratios by 2 protein levels). Growth performance and carcass quality at slaughter were not af- fected by treatments. Increasing DF to starch ratio did not modify dry matter digestibility (62.0% on average), while increased (P
