Abstract

This work aimed to investigate effects of yarrow and moringa on productive, physiological traits and carcass characteristics of weaned V-line rabbits. Forty-five male weaned V-line rabbits, at 35 days of age, were used in a straight-run experimental design. The rabbits were randomly distributed in a completely randomized design among five treatment groups with three replicates per treatment and three rabbits per replicate. The 1st group was fed a basal diet (control). The 2nd and 3rd groups were fed a diet with 5 and 10g yarrow/ kg complete pelleted diet, respectively. The 4th and 5th groups were fed a complete pelleted diet with 5 and 10g moringa/ kg diet, respectively. Adding both yarrow and moringa at the 5 or 10g/ kg diet significantly increased the body weight, body weight gain and performance index and improved of feed conversion ratio of growing rabbits more than those of the control group. Both yarrow and moringa supplements significantly increased RBCs, WBCs and PCV % compared to the control group. The highest albumin concentration was at moringa 10g/ kg diet level compared to the control. Adding no feed supplement to rabbits significantly decreased both phagocytic activity and phagocytic index percentages compared to all the treated groups. Both yarrow and moringa supplements significantly increased net revenue and relative economic efficiency compared to the control group. The present results indicated that, supplementation of yarrow or moringa at 5g/ Kg to diet of weaned rabbits improved the productive performance, physiological, and immunity response and enhance net revenue.
