Individual live weight was recorded at the beginning (initial body weight, IBW) and end of the experiment (final body weight, FBW) in the morning before feeding. During the entire experiment, rabbit health was monitored daily. Diarrhea and mortality rates were recorded daily. Feed intake was measured daily by weighing the feed supplied and the refuse. The average daily gain (ADG), ADFI, feed conversion ratio, and efficiency index (EI) from weeks 5 to 13 were calculated.
