| The effect of partial and total substitution of soybean meal crude protein (SBM) by canola meal (CM) on live weight (LW), daily weight gain (DWG), daily feed intake (DFI) and feed conversion (FC) in female rabbits are provided. Rabbits were evaluated from weaning period (43 days of age) to adult life when they are capable of reproduction (150 days of age). Forty-eight White New Zealand females were used and distributed in four treatments. SBM was substituted at 00%, 33%, 66% and 100% levels by CM. The partial or total substitution of SBM by CM did not change (P > 0.05) the LW after 70 days old. Dunnett’s test showed that, independently of substitution level, FC of animals fed on meal with 33% SBM substitution by CM from age 43 to 90 days and 43 to 150... |
