| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was conducted to clarify effect of kemzyme and /or bentonite feed additives on rabbit meat quality "weight gain", proximate chemical analysis, cholesterol content and bacteriological criteria. Twenty four mature NZW rabbit bucks of about 4 months age average body weight 2.4 kg were equally divided into four groups (6 each) the 1st group was kept untreated as control group (C). The 2nd group was supplemented with 0.1% "kemzyme" multienzyme (K). The 3rd was supplemented with 2% Sodium bentonite (B), while the 4th group was supplemented with 0.1% kemzyme plus 2% Sodium bentonite (KB). The dietary treatment lasted for 10 weeks. The obtained results revealed significance increase in the average daily gain and protein content, while there was reduction in cholesterol content in group fed on (KB) groups. | ||||
