| Popis: | Abstract. Twenty breeding does and 4 rabbit bucks aged 28 weeks, weighing between 1622 to 1746g ,were used to investigate the reproductive performance of breeding does fed by graded levels of cassava leaf meal (CLM). The rabbits were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments viz: T (control), T , T and T with CLM inclusion levels of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively, after balancing for live weight. Each rabbit was 1 2 3 4 individually caged and served as a replicate. The feeding trial lasted for 17 weeks. The results showed that does on diet T (100%) achieved the 2 highest conception rate, followed by T (75%) and T (75%) and the least in T (66.67%). Average daily weight change and change in weight 3 4 1 during pregnancy were the highest (p |
