The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dehydrated orange by-product on the productive parameters, carcass yield, and meat quality of rabbits in the fattening stage. Four diets with increasing levels of orange by-products (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) were evaluated, each with six replicates of two 32-day-old crossbred rabbits that were randomly allocated. The experimental period was from 32 to 70 days of age of the rabbits. A higher weight gain (p < 0.05) was achieved for observed with 20% substitution, along with a better feed conversion, without any effects on carcass yield and meat quality parameters. The treatment with 30% citrus pulp showed no differences (p > 0.05) in the parameters evaluated. Based on our results, dehydrated orange by-product can replace up to 30% of the commercial feed concentrate without affecting performance, yield, and carcass quality in rabbits feeding since 32 to 72 days of age.
本研究旨在评估脱水橙副产物对育肥阶段兔子生产性能参数、胴体产量和肉质的影响。评估了四种不同橙副产物水平(0%、10%、20%和 30%)的日粮,每组有六个 32 日龄杂交兔重复,随机分配。实验期从兔子 32 日龄到 70 日龄。与对照组相比,20%替代组的兔子体重增加(p<0.05)更高,饲料转化率更好,而胴体产量和肉质参数没有影响。用 30%柑橘渣处理的组在评价参数上没有差异(p>0.05)。根据我们的结果,在 32 至 72 日龄期间,脱水橙副产物可以替代高达 30%的商业饲料浓缩物,而不会影响兔子的生产性能、产量和胴体质量。
