Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of cassava root meal on the growth of rabbits. Two experiments were carried out. Digestibility assay was conducted using 22 rabbits with 50 days of age, in a randomized design, with two treatments and 11 replications. Reference and test diets were used in which CM substituted 25% of the control diet dry matter. The digestible dry matter values, protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), energy and starch, on dry matter basis, were 85.87, 1.43, 2.82, 0.91, 3,562 kcal/kg and 63.95%, respectively. In the performance trial, 180 rabbits of 35 to 70 days of age were used. The rabbits were distributed in a completely randomized design, with six treatments (six levels of CM inclusion: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%, replacing the corn digestible energy) and 15 replications, with two animals per experimental unit. Results show that the CM can be incorporated in the growing rabbits rations in 26.4%, replacing 100% of the corn digestible energy.
