“…Pujiawati et al (2021) showed that addition of 1.5% turmeric powder enhanced growth performance including final BW, BWG, FI and FCR in growing rabbits. These findings are in accordance with Abd EL-Latif et al, 2019;El-Rawi et al, 2020. El-Rawi et al (2020 concluded that administration of turmeric powder (4 and 8 g/kg feed) had a positive impact on final BW, BWG, FI, and FCR.…”

Weaned rabbits become extremely vulnerable to enteric infections as a result of ban of using antibiotics as growth promoters. Recently, there are a growing interest in natural alternatives of antibiotics that could be used in rabbit production. Nutraceuticals are dietary components that offer additional health benefits override their nutritive benefits. Nutraceuticals include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, enzymes, organic acids, fatty acids, medicinal plants, etc. Due to its potential impacts on maintaining the normal physiological status, strengthening the immune system, and preventing illness, which ultimately led to an increase in productivity, nutraceuticals have recently attracted a lot of attention in rabbit farms. The objective of the present review is to provide information on recent findings about the advantages of dietary supplementation of nutraceuticals on performance, digestibility, meat quality, antioxidative properties, and immunological response in rabbits.

“…The decrease of the reaction time in treated groups could be considered as good indication for the higher sexual activity and the more secretion of testosterone hormone. The achieved findings agree with those of El-Rawi et al (2020) which revealed that the sexual libido decreased significantly in V-line rabbit bucks, receiving turmeric at 4 and 8 g/kg diet than those of the control group. Similarly, the findings of Abd El-hameed Noura and Heshmat (2019) showed that the semen characteristics of rabbit bucks administrated with ginger 200 and 250 mg/kg/BW increased significantly than those of the control group.…”

In recent years, medical and aromatic herbs have been used in rabbits' production to replace antibiotic and have increasingly important role. A total of 40 weaned V-line rabbit bucks were divided equally into four experimental groups. The bucks of the 1 st group not treated and served as the control group, while those in the 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th groups were oral supplementation with mixture dried herbal seeds at level of 200 ,400 and 600mg /buck/day, respectively. The obtained results revealed significant (P≤0.05) increase in BW, BWG and FCR of the treated bucks than those of the control. However, results of total feed consumption showed insignificant differences. The averages of total protein, globulin, albumin and glucose (mg/dl) of treated groups increased significantly (P≤0.05) as compared with the control group. While the means of triglyceride and cholesterol decreased significantly (P≤0.05) in the treated bucks than those of the control group. The averages of live sperm, (%), Mass motility, (%), concentration (10 6 /ml) and ejaculate volume (ml) of the treated bucks increased significantly (P≤0.05) than those of the control, while the reaction time (seconds) and abnormal sperm, (%) decreased significantly (P≤0.05) in the treated bucks than those of the control group. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that treating rabbit bucks raised under Assiut climatic conditions with a mixture of some dried herbal seeds at level of (200,400 and 600/buck/day) significantly improved growth performance, blood parameters and semen quality.

“…Moreover, Kaegon et al [83] revealed that supplementing the growing rabbit diet with turmeric at the levels of 0.5-0.9 g per kg of the diet resulted in beneficial effects on serum metabolites, particularly creatinine, glucose, urea, cholesterol, conjugated bilirubin, total bilirubin, albumin, and total protein. El-Rawi et al [84] stated that turmeric powder (4-8 g/kg of diet) could improve rabbit growth, digestibility, and some carcass traits. Furthermore, it enhanced immunity and served as an exogenous antioxidant.…”

Current Applications and Trends in Rabbit Nutraceuticals

To ensure the sustainability of rabbit production and protect the global rabbit industry, cost-effective and practical strategies for improving rabbit production and meat quality must be developed. Recently, rabbit farming, like other animal farming, has faced feed shortages due to the impact of climate change, high competition among livestock species, and war conditions. The continued use of conventional feed additives in rabbit diets, whether derived from plant or animal sources, has become a critical issue. Furthermore, there is a global trend toward finding natural alternatives to synthetic drugs, such as antibiotics, in rabbit farms. Finding readily available and alternative feed additives is therefore critical to protecting the rabbit industry, particularly in subtropical and Mediterranean-developing countries. Nutraceuticals positively influence several physiological and productive traits in animals, as well as enhancing their health and welfare. The present review aims to provide an overview of previous studies on the potential of using some plant and animal products as nutraceutical alternatives and feed additives in rabbit diets, separately or in combination, to act as natural growth promoters, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agents, and immunostimulants in rabbit farms. From the results, some unconventional plant and animal products, such as spirulina, garden cress, milk whey, and bee venom, can be successfully used as dietary supplements and substitutes in rabbit farms to motivate rabbit growth and reproduction, as well as enhance immunity. These products are rich in minerals, vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. These active substances benefit the animal’s digestive tract in different ways, including activating the digestive enzymes and maintaining microbial balance, promoting vitamin synthesis. They also improve rabbit production, reproduction, and health.
