The influence of antimicrobial food additives on nutrient digestibility and performance of broiler rabbits
The objective was to determine the effect of virginiamycin on nutrient digestibility and performance of broiler rabbits. The effect of virginiamycin at a dose of 30 mg/kg of feed and/or granular feed mixture was determined in 2 metabolic trials. The trials were conducted on 32 rabbits of the hybrid...

Summary: | The objective was to determine the effect of virginiamycin on nutrient digestibility and performance of broiler rabbits. The effect of virginiamycin at a dose of 30 mg/kg of feed and/or granular feed mixture was determined in 2 metabolic trials. The trials were conducted on 32 rabbits of the hybrid Hyla 2000 between the 33rd and 91st day of age. A supplement of 30 mg of the active ingredient of virginiamycin had positive effects on the basic characteristics of broiler production. Feed conversion in trial 2 was increased significantly (p less than 0.05). Virginiamycin insignificantly increased crude protein (in trial 1), fat and fibre digestibility (in trial 2) |
