Study of the growth rate: The trend of the different groups growth rate varies considerably. However, throughout the period of the experiment, the rabbits fed with Moringa supplement showed the highest growth rate (Fig. 2).
Study of the Consumption Index (CI): The trends of the consumption index are shown in Fig. 3. The trends of the 3 groups of rabbits are irregular. In general, the indexes are low, reflecting a good feeding conversion. Statistical analysis indicates that there is no significant difference among batches.
Health status: Health status for each batch of rabbits was evaluated. The mortality rate recorded in the Moringa, mixed and standard batches are respectively 4, 12% and 4.
Symptoms observed were mainly bloating and scabies. The group fed with the mixed supplement feeding had the highest mortality rate. Upon looking at symptoms, researchers noticed that only the standard batch was contaminated by scabies (Table 5).
