The first group was served as a control, the second received 200 mg/kg of body weight of aqueous leaves extract of sage (SAE), the third received 50 mg/kg of body weight of aqueous leaves extract of neem group. It can be concluded that there were significant interactions between season and treatments on the growth performance, carcass traits and hematological parameters except the FI and RT parameters.

Eighty four weaned New Zealand White rabbits (NZW) aged 35 days and weighed 564g ± 3.40 were distributed randomly into seven groups (12 each). The experimental diets contained different levels of papaya leaves and papaya leaves extract (0.0 controls (C), 1, 2 and 3% papaya leaves or papaya leaves extract, respectively. The experiment was lasted for 8 weeks. The obtained results indicated that: The final live body weight, total weight gain and performance index were significantly (P<0.05) improved in the treated groups. Digestibility coefficient and nutritive values were significantly improved for rabbits fed diet contained PL and PLE compared to those fed the control diet. There were significant increases detected for plasma total protein, albumin and globulin while blood plasma cholesterol, LDL and total lipids were significantly decreased by increasing PL and PLE inclusion level compared to control groups. Liver function as AST and ALT activity were not affected by dietary supplementation. Moreover the concentrations of IgG and IgM of rabbits were higher for rabbit supplemented with PL and PLE than the control group. GPx, SOD and CAT were significantly improved by dietary PL and PLE. The best economic efficiency had been recorded with rabbits fed 3% PLE inclusion followed by rabbits received 2% and 1% treatment of PLE, respectively.

A total of 123 male (59) and female (64) rabbits represents three breeds and their diallel crosses were used in this study. The pure breeds were New Zealand White (N), Papillon (P) and Flemish Giant (F). The six crossbreeds were NF, NP, FP, FN, PN, PF. The growth performance attributes were body weights at 4 (BW4), 8 (BW8) and 12 (BW12) weeks of age, daily weight gain between 4 and 8 weeks (DG4-8), 8 and 12 weeks (DG8-12) and between 4 and 12 weeks (DG4-12) and relative growth rate (RG) at the same interval ages (RG4-8, RG8-12 and RG4-12). The present results showed positive interrelationship among all body weight traits. However, BW8 was highly correlated with DG at all studied ages (r=0.61 to 0.91). There is highly negative correlation between BW4 and RG at 4-8wks and 4-12 wks of age. The genotype had significant effect on body weight at 8 and 12 weeks of age. N rabbits were recorded to be the heaviest breed at weaning (4 weeks), while PN and FN crosses were recorded to be the heaviest rabbits at market (12 weeks). Genetic groups were found to had highly significant effect on DG and RG, during all intervals age. On the other hand, effect of sex on BW, DG and RG of growing rabbits were not significant at studied intervals. Insignificant effect for GCA, SCA and RC on BW were recorded at different ages, except for the reciprocal cross effect at 12 weeks of age. The NP crossbred seemed to be the best cross combination in improving of BW. GCA, SCA and RC had significant effect (P < 0.05 or 0.001) on DG and RG. FN crossbred was found to be the best 200 KARIMAN FARG et al. genetic group among all crosses for DG and RG. Conclusively, the results obtained in present study suggested that Papillon is a promising breed in crossbreeding program regarding growth performance traits. Crossing of New Zealand White as a sire breed with Papillon as a dam breed, NP, would be recommended over other crosses to improve marketing weight in rabbits. However, Crossing of Flemish Giant as a sire breed with New Zealand White as a dam breed, FN, would be recommended over other crosses to improve growth rates in rabbits especially in case of marketing rabbits at constant weight to save time and cost.","PeriodicalId":11684,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Rabbit Science","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90445795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 1 st group designated as the control (CON) was fed on the basal diet only. The 2 nd group (SGR) was fed the basal diet in which a 10% was replaced with Sea-grass (Cymodocea nodosa), and the 3 rd group (TAR) was fed the basal diet in which a 10% was replaced with 10% Taro haulms (Colocasia esculenta). The experiment continued for three litters. Results showed that rabbit does fed on sea-grass and taro haulms gave more alive kits per doe kindling compared with those fed the control diet. Weight of kits weaned per doe kindling was highest (P ≤ 0.05) in the sea-grass group (1.882 kg) followed by taro haulms group (1.760 kg), whereas the control group had the lowest mean (1.439 kg) in that respect. Litter weight from birth to of SGR those of the CON, whereas SGR and TAR did not differ (P > 0.05). Stillbirths were lower in the SGR and TAR groups compared with the CON. Feed intake of the SGR and TAR treatments was higher (P ≤ 0.05) than that of the CON treatment during both pregnancy and lactation periods. Moreover, results showed no significant differences among treatments in body weight changes of doe rabbits at different time periods of their reproductive cycle. Results also showed no significant differences among treatments in litter size, total milk yield and milk conversion rate. Digestion coefficients of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF and NFE did not differ significantly among treatments.
