Effect of Pine Needle Power on Production Performance and Serum Biochemical Indices of Jiuyishan Female Rabbits
This experiment was conducted to study the effect of pine needle powder to replace part of green-hay powder on production performance and serum biochemical indices of Jiuyishan female rabbits.Twenty four and healthy female rabbits with similar weight were randomly divided into three treatments and 8 rabbits in each treatment.Rabbits in each group were fed basal diet supplemented with pine needle powder which part of 0 (control group),7.5% (group Ⅰ),15% (group Ⅱ) green-hay powder after inseminated 12 days,respectively.The adjustment period lasted for 4 days,and the experimental period lasted for 24 days.The results showed that compared with the control group,the AFI in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly decreased (P<0.05),the ADG in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05).With the level of pine needle powder increased,the A/G in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ had a decreased tendency,the rabbits offspring litter weight had a increased tendency,but there were no significant differences among all groups (P>0.05).The serum content of AST in the group Ⅱ was extremely significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01),but there were no significant differences in the serum contents of ALT,LDH,ALP and BUN among all groups (P>0.05).In conclusion,supplementation of pine needle powder in diet to replace part of green hay powder had different effects on production performance and serum biochemical indices of Jiuyishan female rabbits,and replaced 7.5% green-hay powder had better effect.
