Rabbit meat is a digestive food and has high protein, low fat and low cholestorol. According to tests, the content of protein in rabbit meat is 28.4%, higher than beef, pork, mutton and fowls, that of fat is 8%, roughly the same as beef, and that of cholestorol is only 0.05%.

[Method] Totaling 80 rabbits,including New Zealand White rabbits,Fujian Yellow rabbits,and direct-cross and reciprocal cross rabbits were measured in slaughter performance and meat quality. [Result] Live-weight,evisceration weight and semi-evisceration weight of rabbits in four groups were 1 817. 20 -2 308. 60,914. 10 -1 231. 50 and 985. 99 -1 315. 20 g,respectively. For slaughter performance,FY × NZ was the highest among male rabbits and NZ was the highest among female rabbits. In addition,shear forces of crureus and longissimusdorsi for rabbits in four groups were 25. 11 -40. 44 and 18. 02 -26. 44 N,respectively,among which male NZ was the lowest in shear force of crureus and female NZ was the lowest of longissimusdorsi. Water-loss rates of crureus and longissimusdorsi were 33. 43% -41. 52% and 31. 79% -39. 01%,among which male NZ proved the lowest in water-loss of crureus and male FY achieved the lowest level for the rate of longissimusdorsi. [Conclusion]Hybrid groups showed some heteroses in slaughter performance and meat quality.展开更多

Rabbits in experimental groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were fed with different quantita-tive complete formula feed and unlimited fresh grass of C. gyroides, and those in group Ⅴ(control group) were fed with complete formula feed. The indicators such as feed intake and growth performance were measured after 60 d. The results showed that the gaining effects of meat rabbits in ex-perimental groups Ⅳ and Ⅲ were most obvious, and the daily gain reached(25.75 ±3.00) and(24.50±1.95) g, 20.72% and 14.86% higher than those in control group, respectively. The conversion efficiency of dry matter in experimental group Ⅲ was the highest, and only 2.99 g of C. gyroides and compound feed dry matter was consumed for the growth of 1 g of rabbit meat, receiving significant economic benefit.展开更多
