| Abstract | ||
| This research was y carried out mainly to investigate the effects of the 0.50g beta glucan and 0.25, 0.50 and 1g\ kg diet aloe vera gel on performance, hematological parameters and economic efficiency. Sixty unsexed New Zealand White rabbits six weeks old were used on a completely randomized design in 5 groups each consisting of 12 rabbits. The groups included the control group (basal diet) and the other group with basal diet and 0.50g beta glucan and 0.25, 0.50 and 1g\ kg diet aloe vera gel supplemented in the diets. The results obtained regarding final body weight, daily body weight gain and feed conversion which were significantly higher of the rabbits fed 0.50 g\ kg diet aloe vera gel and other 0.50 gm\ kg diet beta glucan compared to the other treatments. Total feed intake did not significantly affected by dietary treatments. Carcass and dressing% was significantly improved with feeding on 0.50 g\ kg diet aloe vera gel diets and the least value was with feeding on 1g\ kg diet aloe vera gel diet. Red blood cell, Hb, MCH and MCHC were significantly affected by 0.50 g\ kg diet aloe vera gel supplementation in the diet. Economic efficiency was increased with feeding the rabbits on 0.50 g\ kg diet aloe vera gel and 0.50 gm\ kg diet beta glucan diet. Conclusively, it could be recommended that supplemented 0.50 g\ kg diet aloe vera gel and other 0.50 g\ kg diet beta glucan diet improve growth performance traits and economic efficiency of rabbits. | ||
