Effects of sun-dried stylo hay (stylosanthes guianensis cv ciat 184) on rabbits growth and slaughter performances

Résumé

The effect of sun-dried Stylo hay (Stylosanthes guianensis cv CIAT 184) level in complete pellet diet was studied on growth and slaughter performances of local hybrid rabbits in Côte d'Ivoire. Four diets containing 0% (control: Sg0), 10% (Sg10), 20% (Sg20) and 30% (Sg30) of Stylo respectively were produced and distributed ad libitum to 4 batches of 12 rabbits from weaning (35 d, mean weight: 613 ± 29 g) to 91 days old. Rabbits receiving the Sg30 diet had the best daily weight gain of 30.4 g / d (+ 16%, P <0.001) and the highest feed intake (+ 7%, P <0.001) compared to the control Sg0. Feed conversion rate was better with the Sg20 and Sg30 diets (-0.45, P <0.001) compared to the control diet. Animals' health was not affected by Stylo incorporation rate in the diet. In addition, the cold carcass weight was better with the Sg20 and Sg30 diets compared to the control (+12%, P <0.001). It was concluded that sun-dried Stylo hay could be incorporated in rabbits complete pelleted feed up to 30%, as source of fibres.
