Feed composition at the onset of feeding behaviour influences slaughter weight in rabbits

Résumé

This study aimed to assess the influence of feed composition at the onset of solid feed intake, at 18 to 28 d of age, on growth performance and health in young rabbits until slaughter age (70 d). 796 rabbit kits, issued from 64 does followed during two successive reproduction cycles, were divided into 2 experimental groups differing in the diet that the suckling rabbits received from 18 to 28 d of age. From 18-28 d, young rabbits in the RF group were fed a diet that met the needs of reproductive does (R; 10.57 MJ DE/Kg, 128 g DP/lcg, 199 g DF/kg), while young rabbits in the FF group were fed a diet that met the needs of growing rabbits (F; 9.35 MJ DE/1
