Abstract;
This study was conducted at late Prof. Lawal Abdu Saulawa Livestock Teaching and Research Farm, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture FUDMA, to evaluate performance of grower rabbits fed diets containing soya bean cake residue meal (SBCR) at three levels of inclusion.Eighteen grower rabbits of same breed and mixed sexes was used for the study. The rabbits were randomly assigned to three (3) treatment groups in a completely randomized design (CRD)with treatment replicating three (3) times with two (2) rabbits per replicate. SBCR was used at 0, 67 and 100% levels to replace soya bean meal. The result of the growth performance showed decrease in parameter evaluated as the level of SBCR increases in the diets. Rabbits fed (0%SBCR) recorded significant higher final body weight 1.27g which was similar to rabbits fed 67% and 100% SBCR while those on T3 (100% SBCR) had the least value of 1.20g. It was therefore concluded that the Soybean cake residue have no significant difference on final weight, total weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Hence, farmers should lay more emphasis on the use of full fat soybean meal rather than its residue.
