Abstract

This experiment was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of tiger nuts ( Cypers esculentus ) rejects on the growth performance, carcass weight and hematological parameters of weaner rabbits. Three experimental diets were formulated with Diets A being a commercial growers’ mash as control diet; Diet B: 5% parts of Tiger nuts ( Cyperus esculentus) +95% parts of Diet A; Diet C: 10% parts of Tiger nuts ( Cyperus esculentus ) +90% parts of Diet A. The effects of dietary treatments on feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were not significant (p>0.05). The dressing percentage ranged from 66.87 to 75.92% and was significantly (p 0.05) difference between treatments. Results demonstrated that ( Cyperus esculentus ) could be used up to 5% in rabbit’s diets without adverse effect on the animals’ performance and health.
不同水平虎坚果饲喂家兔的生长性能、胴体和血液学特性
本试验旨在研究虎坚果(cyers esculentus)废渣对断奶兔生长性能、胴体重和血液参数的影响。配制3种试验饲粮,其中饲粮A为商品种植者醪粕为对照饲粮;日粮B:虎坚果(Cyperus esculentus) 5% +日粮A 95%;饲粮C: 10%虎坚果(Cyperus esculentus) +90%虎坚果(Cyperus esculentus)。饲粮处理对采食量、增重和饲料系数的影响均不显著(p>0.05)。敷料率为66.87 ~ 75.92%,两组间差异有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。结果表明,在家兔日粮中添加5%的沙草对家兔的生产性能和健康无不良影响。
