A 35-day experiment was conducted to ascertain the effects of Tumeric powder (TP) on some reproductive and growth characteristics of rabbit does. A total of 24 first time bred does of 15 days pregnant were randomly allotted into four dietary groups of six rabbits per group, where each rabbit in a group is a replicate. The four experimental diets were as follows: Control (T1; without TP), T2; with 0.1% TP, T3; with 0.15% TP, T4; with 0.25% TP. The result showed increased weight and corresponding average daily feed intake at lower inclusion rates of 0.1%. Litter size and litter weight were influence at 0.15% and 0.25%
