TOWER RAPESEED MEAL AS A PROTEIN SOURCE FOR WEANLING RABBITS

J. C. THROCKMORTON, P. R. Cheeke, N. M. Patton

Abstract

Tower rapeseed meal was substituted on an isonitrogenous basis for 50, 75 and 100% of the soybean meal in diets for weanling rabbits. There was no significant effect (P < 0.01) on average daily gain or feed efficiency, indicating that Tower rapeseed meal is equivalent to soybean meal as a protein supplement for growing rabbits.
