MEKARN Conference 2010 |
The experiment was carried out at Nho Quan district, Ninh Binh province Vietnam from May to July 2010; to evaluate the effect of feeding Pseuderanthemum palatiferum to rabbits on performance and diarrhea treatment. Four dams (Newzealand White) * 3 rabbit farms around 1.5 years of age in the litter of 4th to 5th, and 24 weaned rabbits were used to conduct the experiments with the treatments of supplementing P. palatiferum at 250, 350 and 500 g/day in the diet on fresh basis. Dams fed P. palatiferum at the levels of 350 and 500 were given higher results in milk yield, dry matter intake, crude protein intake and live weight gain of growing rabbits (P<0.05). Feeding P. palatiferum at the level of 350 and 500 g/day for rabbits also had a positive effect on controlling diarrhea disease as similar as medicine drug of Coli-norgen.
