Effects of  Dietary Supplementation of Vitamin E, Moringa Oleifera Leaves and Carrots on growth performance and haemato-biochemical parameters of rabbit

Abstract

Rabbit meat has excellent nutritional and dietetic properties because it contains high protein contents, enriched with poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), vitamin B complex and low cholesterol level which meet the requirements for modern consumer healthy lifestyle. Rabbit farming preferred over poultry farming due to low risk of diseases and no special care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with vitamin E, Moringa oleifera leaves (MOFL) carrot on growth performance and haemato-biochemical parameters rabbit. A total of 60 rabbits with equal weights were randomly divided into four groups each contain 10 does and 5 buck and their dietary supplementation continued for 60 days. Animals were feed two times a day with basal diet. Group A (T1) kept as control, Group B treatment (T2) with 50mg/kg of carrot, Group C treatment (T3) with 50mg Vitamin E/kg B, and Group D (T4) 50gm/kg BW with Moringa oleifera leaves. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein at every 20-day interval and carried to laboratory for analysis. The result of the experiment showed that the group feed with MOL and Vitamin E improved parameter of hematology and lipid profile as well as growth parameters.
