Evaluation of different plant protein concentrates in rabbit feeds

ABSTRACT

A total number of 24 New Zealand white rabbits were used to evaluate seven plant protein concentrates through eight digestibility trials. These concentratrates were soybean meal [SBM], flaxmeal [FM], decorticated and undecorticated cotton seed meal [DCM], horse beans [HB], corn gluten meal [CGM], [UDCM], and sunflower seed meal [SFM]. The CGM, SBM, and DCM feedstuffs recorded the highest nutritive values followed by the FM and HB, while the UDCM and SFM showed the lowest values
