Abstract
The aims of this study was to evaluate the effects of maize and molasses supplementation with different levels in diets on growth performance of New Zealand White crossbred rabbits. The experiment was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications, and 4 rabbits with balanced sexually per trial unit. The treatments were the different dietary digestible energy levels and sources including 10 MJ/kgDM (control, DE10); either supplementation with maize: 11 MJ/kgDM (DE11M) and 12 MJ/kgDM (DE12M) or molasses: 11 MJ/kgDM (DE11Mo) and 12 MJ/kgDM (DE12Mo). The experiment was carried out 12 weeks. The results of experiment showed that DE12M group was higher daily weight gain and final live weight than other treatments (p
