Abstract

A total of forty New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits  of 6 weeks of age with an average initial body weight 83766 ±42.4 g were used to study the effects of medicinal and aromatic plants supplementation on growth performance, digestibility of nutrients, chemical composition of soft and hard feces, carcass traits, some blood plasma constituents and economical efficiency. Rabbits were distributed into 5 groups of eight rabbits each. The first group received basal unsupplemented diet which served as control diet, while the P1, P2, P3 and P4 groups were supplemented with 1.0% Basil, Chamomile, Fennel or Ginger, respectively.
Results showed that the final body weight (13 weeks of age), daily weight gain and performance index significantly (P
Conclusively, it is concluded that the supplementation of growing rabbit diets with 1.0% fennel or chamomile caused relatively considerable improvement in the growth performance without negative effects on carcass characteristics and constituents of blood plasma. Meanwhile, 1.0% fennel supplementation in growing rabbit diets resulted in the best economical efficiency (%).
