Growth Of Female New Zealand Crossbreed Rabbit On Variation Of Feed Protein Level

Abstract

The Growth of Female New Zealand White Crossbreed Rabbit on Variation of Feed Protein Level have studied on Experimental Farm Animal Husbandry Faculty, University of Jenderal Soedirman Purwokerto. On – Station Research by Factorial Pattern based on Two-Way Classification Design, were involved 42 heads rabbit two months of age. Factors examine consist of : kinds of feed as a first factors (a1 = without fish meal, a2 = fish meal 2%, a3 = fish meal 12%, a2 = fish meal 22%), and body weight as a second factors (b1 = 601-700 gram,b2 = 701-800 gram, b3 = 801-900 gram). Variance analysis showed that there were significance (P< 0.01) interaction between kinds of feed and body weight on daily gain and feed consumption. Increasing feed protein level (2, 12 and 22% of fish meal) clearly increase (P<0.01) of daily gain and feed consumption on overall of body weight conditions (b1,b2 and b3). Daily gain and feed consumption really affected (P<0.01) by body weight on overall of feed protein level. (Animal Production 1(1) : 30-35 (1999). Key Words : Growth, Rabbit, Protein
