Abstract

Twenty four adult white gaint rahbits, in four similar groups, individually received 4 isunitrogenuus and isocaloric diets containing concentrate with either rye grass hay or kudzuvine at 10,25 or 50% levels for 35 d. Total gain (625g), daily live weight gain (17.86g/d), intake of DM (154.(ig/d), were higher on ration T, consisting of 25% Kudzuvine as compared to control. The digestibility of DM, CF, ££ and NFE increased in direct proportion to the addition of Kudzuvine bay. It is concluded that Kudzuvine may be included upto 25% level in broiler rabbit ration without impunity.
