Abstract
This trial was carried out in Sakha Station, Animal Production Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center, Egypt, from July 2019 to September 2019.
It aimed to investigate the effects of ginger treatment on the growth performance, digestibility coefficients, blood health, antioxidative status, carcass characteristics and economic efficiency of rabbits reared under heat stress conditions.
A total of 192 APRI line rabbits were assigned randomly into four groups of 48 rabbits each (6 replicate each group). The rabbits were five weeks old and weighed 632.5 ± 6.55 g. Rabbits were fed ad libitum on a commercial pelleted diet throughout the experimental period (5–13 weeks of age). The basal diet was supplemented with ginger powder (Zingiber officinale) at 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 g/ kg diet. Parameters studied included growth performance and mortality rate of growing rabbits.
