Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding sun-dried soya bean cheese residue meal (SSCRM) to weaned rabbits. The SSCRM was used at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% level of inclusion which formed five dietary treatments designated I, II, III, IV and V in a complete randomized design. Forty mongrels weaned rabbits were used for the experiment. The results showed that daily feed intake was affected (P<0.05) by dietary treatments. Other performance parameters measured were not significantly different from the control (Diet 1). All the parameters measured for the organ weights and those of the guts were similar to the control. It is therefore inferred that inclusion of 40% sun- dried soya bean cheese residue meal is suitable for growing rabbits, especially in areas where soya bean is used for making cheese, milk and yoghurt.
