Growth of weaned rabbits of Dwarf Lop breed in association with diet

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of our study was to evaluate the growth of weaned rabbits of the well-known Dwarf Lop breed. Used rabbits came from the common pet stock. The young rabbits were weaned at 7th week of age. A total of 56 rabbits were divided into 3 groups (namely the group A, the group B and the group C). The rabbits in the experimental groups A and B were fed pelleted diets specially designed for this study. Particularly, the experimental diets varied in the content of the white lupine seeds. The diet C was the foreign commercial pelleted feed (without white lupine seeds) and was used for the control group of rabbits. Timothy hay was offered all rabbits three-times a week. Live weights of the young rabbits were recorded at two-week periods up to the 15th week of their age. We found the significant differences in live weights among all groups of rabbits that received the evaluated diets. In the beginning of the experiment, the young rabbits fed the control diet showed the significantly higher live weight as compared to the both experimental diets (P < 0.01). On the 77th day of age, the rabbits fed the diet B showed more intensive growth. No statistical difference in the live weight the control group and the group B was observed from 77th day of age to the end of the experimental period. Moreover, the group B showed better growth performance since the 91st day of age, what points out to the suitable nutrient composition of the diet B. The results of our study bring more accurate specifics of growth of weaned Dwarf Lop breed. The obtained findings indicate that the white lupine seed can be the suitable component in the diets for dwarf rabbits.
