Performance of weaner rabbits fed graded levels of sun-dried sweet potato tuber meal (Ipomea batatas) diets

Forty weaned rabbits (8 weeks old) of mixed sexes and breed, with an average initial live-weight 680g, were used in a nine-week feeding trial to evaluate their performance on diets which sun-dried sweet potatoe tuber meal (Ipomoea batatas) was included at the rate 0, 10, 20, 30 40% levels CP Isonitrogenous diets. Performance parameters showed that feed intake, weight gain ratio not significantly different between treatments. Values obtained poorer for potato based compared control. No mortality recorded during experiment. Carcass oragn weights expressed as percentage no significant differences (P>0.05) across It concluded can be up level young rabbits.
