Studies On The Sulfur Amino Acids Requirement Of The Rabbits

As competition between humans andlive stock for high quality grains and protein supplements increases, the production emphasis will be on those animal that are least competitive with man. The rabbit, being a nonrumintant herbivore, efficiently uses sources of roughage that are not used by man. Because rabbits have a rapid rate of growth, a high feed efficiency, an carl marketing age (56day) and requir a small land area, they are efficient meat animals. This suggests that the rabbit has practical as a livestock species in large scale production. Therefor, the objective of this investigation was directed to: Determine the effect of dietary CP and TSAA level on the performance of NZW rabbits. Study the effect of methionine source on the perforormance of rabbits. Study the effect of inorganic sulfate addition to rabbit diets.
