EFFECTS OF REPLECING CLOVER HAY BY CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.) VINES STRAW WITHOUT OR WITH NATUZYME OR PREBIOTIC CONTANING MANAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE IN NZW RABBIT DIETS ON NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY, CAECAL, CARCASS CHARACTERISTIES AND SOME BLOOD CONSTITUENTS
Abstract:The present study was designed to investigate the effect of using cucumber vines straw (CVS) instead of clover hay in growing NZW rabbit diets without or with prebiotic (mannan oligosaccharide ,MOS) or multi-enzyme (Natuzyme, NZ) supplementation on nutrient digestibility, nutritive values, caecal microbial activity and its volatile fatty acids (VFAs) content, carcass traits and some blood constituents. A total number of 63 six-week old NZW rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups; each group included 3 repl… Show more
