| Abstract | ||||
| This research aimed to enforce the effect of sage powder leaves on growth performance, carcass traits and blood parameters on New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits. A total of 45 male rabbits at five weeks old, with initial body weights rang from (703.72g ± 0.72g) used from 5 to 13 weeks of age was randomly divided into three groups(15 rabbits in each group) with 3 replicates (5 rabbits in each).The first group was fed basal diet as a control group without any supplementations, The second and third groups , which were fed the basel diet with 0.25% and 0.5% Sage powder (SP) /kg diet , respectively during the whole experiment period from 5 to 13 weeks of age. The obtained results showed that the means of body weight at 9 and 13 weeks of age as well as total and daily body weight gain were significantly heavier (P≤0.05) during the period from (5-9 weeks of age) in the group, which was provided with 0.5 % sage powder than the second and control groups. The pre-slaughter weight ,liver and kidneys percentages significantly increased (P≤0.05), Also, Total protein, Albumin , Glucose and T3 significantly increased in the group supplemented with 0.5% sage powder / kg diet as compared with the second and control groups. Conclusively, It can be summarized that the additive of Sage powder with 0.5% / kg diet is the best level for improve body weight and other growth performance of New Zealand White male rabbits. | ||||
