This study evaluated effects of Digestarom® (D) dietary inclusion before weaning (0-5weeks old; BW) and/or after weaning (5-12weeks old; AW) on growing rabbit carcass traits and meat quality. During BW, Pannon-Ka rabbits (does, kits) received two diets: a control diet (C) and one supplemented with 300mg Digestarom®/kg (D). At weaning, each group was divided into 3 dietary sub-groups: CC and DD received C and D diets from 5 to 12weeks of age, whereas DC was fed D from 5 to 8weeks and C from 8 to 12weeks of age (54 rabbits/group; AW). Rabbits were slaughtered at 12weeks of age. Digestarom® supplementation improved carcass yield and body mid part proportion only when administered BW. Rabbits fed D BW had higher hind leg meat cooking losses. Loin meat spiciness and rancidity increased with D both BW and AW. In conclusion, Digestarom(®) herbal formulation was ineffective in improving growing rabbit carcass traits or meat quality.
本研究评估了在断奶前（0-5 周龄；BW）和/或断奶后（5-12 周龄；AW）添加 Digestarom®（D）饮食对生长兔胴体特性和肉质的影响。在 BW 期间，Pannon-Ka 兔（母兔、幼兔）接受两种饮食：对照饮食（C）和一种补充 300mg Digestarom®/kg（D）的饮食。断奶时，每个组分为 3 个饮食亚组：CC 和 DD 从 5 到 12 周龄接受 C 和 D 饮食，而 DC 从 5 到 8 周龄接受 D 饮食，从 8 到 12 周龄接受 C 饮食（每组 54 只兔子；AW）。兔子在 12 周龄时被屠宰。仅当 BW 时给予 Digestarom®补充剂才能提高胴体产率和身体中部比例。BW 时饲喂 D 的兔子后腿肉烹饪损失更高。随着 BW 和 AW 时 D 的添加，腰肉的辣味和油腻味增加。总之，Digestarom(®)草药配方在改善生长兔胴体特性或肉质方面无效。
