Abstract
<p><span><em>The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of utilization of palm oil and seaweed in diet on </em><span><em>abbit growth and carcass-non carcass composition. Twenty eight male Flemish Giant rabbits (the </em><span><em>average age were 5 months) with average initial weight 1560±212 g were used in this research. All </em><span><em>rabbits were randomly classified in four treatment in rations, they were R1 (control treatment = 0% palm </em><span><em>oil+0% seaweed), R2 (5% palm oil+0% seaweed), R3 (0% palm oil+5% seaweed), R4 (2.5% palm </em><span><em>oil+2.5% seaweed). Each treatment consists of seven replications. Individual cages (size 40x30x30 cm</em><span><em>3</em><span><em>) </em><span><em>were used. The animals were reared during 40 days. All collected data were analyzed by One Way </em><span><em>nova. The results showed that feed intake (gBK/rabbit/day) of all treatment groups were not significantly </em><span><em>different. Meanwhile, the feed intake (gBK/BW) of R4 significantly lower (P&lt;0.05) than others, they were </em><span><em>R1 = 55.80±5.36 g, R2 = 55.20±8.04 g, R3 = 50.17±4.26 g, R4 = 46.25±2.21 g. Average daily gain of all </em><span><em>treatment groups were not significantly different. Feed conversion ratio of all treatment groups were also </em><span><em>not significantly different, they were R1 = 9.20±3.35, R2 = 6.40±1.67, R3 = 7.17±2.23 and R4 = 8.75±4.03. </em><span><em>It is concluded that the utilization of palm oil and seaweed did not affect the feed consumption, average </em><span><em>daily gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass-non carcass composition.</em><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em>(Key word: Average daily gain, Carcass, Feed conversion ratio, Feed intake, Palm oil, Seaweed)</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span></span></span></p>
