ABSTRACT
Twenty four weaner rabbits of mixed
breeds and sexes were used to evaluate the utilization of carrot waste meal as
partial substitute for palm kernel meal in the diet. Six rabbits were allocated
to diets which contained 0%, 33.3%, 60% and 100% levels of carrot waste meal in
the diet. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) among the growth
performance parameters measured 1021.25,1561.00,1580.00,1120.00 respectively
for the four treatments, but numerically, treatment 3 which is 60% substitution
gave the highest values 1580.00. There was no significant difference in the
feed conversion ratio (p>O.OS). which had the following values, 8.07, 4.40,
4.30 and 6.78 for treatments 1-4 respectively. Treatment 3 had the lowest
value. The result for the carcass evaluation revealed significant differences
(P>0.05) among the cut parts measured except the drumstick and the thigh
which had 10.81, 12.48, 16.13, 14.81 and 29.82, 25.52, 22.88 and 25.41
respectively, no significant differences (p>O.05) in organ weight except the
spleen and liver respectively. It appears that including 60% of the carrot
waste meal in the diets of weaned rabbits improved performance and yield of the
animals.
