Abstract

The study objective was to determine the effect of different levels of zinc (Oppm, 50ppm, 100ppm. and 150ppm) on growth rate of male rabbits. 32 male rabbit were used for the study. They were fed 4 treatment diets which contained Oppm, 50ppm, 100ppm and 150ppm of zinc. Initial, final and weekly weight of the rabbit was recorded, and this were used to determine daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and daily feed intake. 100ppm/kg of feed promoted growth rate of male rabbits among the treatments.
