[EN] This work was aimed at evaluating the contribution of intensive rabbit breeding to sustainable development using a semi-quantitative method. Nine sustainability indicators were defined for the environmental (energy ...
[EN] An interlaboratory study, concerning the effect
of ileal cannulation on the digestion and caecotrophy in the
rabbit, was performed simultaneously in three experimental
locations using the same procedure.
In the ...

[EN] The aim of the trial was to study the effects of replacement of a soybean meal-alfalfa-maize based diet by a mixture of field bean (g/kg as fed: 257 crude protein [CP], 139 neutral detergent fibre [NDF]) or pea (g/kg ...
[EN] This paper describes a standardized method for
in vivo determination of total digestibility in rabbits. This
method was working out within the European Group on
Rabbit Nutrition (EGRAN) which involves six ...
[EN] Rate of passage was measured on 12 rabbits, either allowed to practice caecotrophy (Control period, from 56 to 60 days of age) or prevented from consuming soft faeces by wearing a plastic collar (without soft faeces ...
[EN] In four laboratories, a total of 52 adult rabbits were fitted with a single T glass cannula at terminal ileum. After surgery recovery, animals were fed ad libitum with the same batch of a diet labelled by the addition ...
[EN] This study aimed to assess the anaerobic status of the caecal biotope in the rabbit through the measurement of its redox potential (Eh). Since the caecal content has a high viscosity, the duration of the Eh measurement ...
[EN] This paper describes an original system allowing
separate control of the feed intake of the mother and of her litter without
rearing them in separate cages, and thus without modifying young I
mother relations. This ...
[EN] Feedstuff tables are presentad including the
composition and the nutritiva value of 53 raw materials used in
compound diets for intensively reared rabbits. Each raw material
is characterised by 23 analytical data ...

[EN] The nutritive value and potential use of sun-dried common reed (Phragmites australis) leaves (CRL), for growing rabbits was studied by comparing 3 diets (regression method) containing an increasing incorporation rate ...
[EN] The nutritive value and potential use of sun-dried grape pomace (g/kg as fed: 140 of crude protein (CP), 529 of neutral detergent fi bre (NDF), 460 acid detergent fi bre , 293 acid detergent lignin) for fattening ...
[EN] The aim of this paper was to draw up a set of recommendations for applied nutrition and feeding trials with rabbits, in relation to certain aspects such as determining the nutritive value of raw materials or diets in ...
[EN] The present study aimed to compare two types of
plastic collar, either a rigid and flat one or a flexible and conical one,
for collecting soft faeces. Measurements were performed in two
successive series (separated ...
