Abstract

The experiment was conducted to study the pathological lesion and abnormality observed in weaned rabbits fed discarded spoilt orange as a replacement for maize. Weaned rabbits were randomly grouped into five treatments with three replicate per treatment. The treatment group consisted of 0%,  25%,50%,75% and 100% of discarded spoilt oranges included in the rabbit diet. The heart. kidney, pancreases, intestine, spleen, lungs and liver were observed for pathological lesion and abnormality and found to be normal except for the intestines which show some percentage of abnormality such as swelling. so it can be concluded that at all level of inclusion of discarded spoilt orange, it will enhance optimum performance of carcass and organs weight without any deleterious effect to the organs.
