Abstract |
A total of twelve male New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits slaughtered at 16 weeks of age, were taken from 4 equal groups (3 rabbits/ group) according to their final live body weight, to studied carcass traits, blood plasma parameters and cecum activity. The growing rabbits were fed the control diet (diet without olive cake), or the diet containing 15 % either non- or irradiated olive cake, at 20 or 60 kGy. Accordingly, a total of 4 experimental diets were used. The experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous (~17% CP) and iso-caloric (~ 2500 kcal DE/kg diet). The results revealed that 15% dietary OC had no adverse effect on carcass, edible giblets and total edible parts .(%) Feeding rabbits on diets containing 15% OC, with gamma irradiation (20 kGy) gave the best empty carcass %, total edible parts% and least non edible parts compared with rabbits fed the control diet. Olive cake at 15% either with or without gamma irradiation (20 or 60 kGy) had no adverse effect on blood plasma parameters. They also had no significant effect on cecum TVFA or cecum pH but significant effect on cecum ammonia concentration was observed.
The results indicated that some microorganisms may be sensitive and decreased by OC active constituents such as, aerobic total count. The results suggested that irradiation processing of OC at 20 kGy eliminate the harmful effect of its glucosinolates on blood chemistry.
Keywords: New Zealand White male rabbits, olive cake, carcass traits, blood plasma parameters and cecum activity.
