Effects of supplementation of different levels of copra meal in diets on reproductive performance
for Californian rabbits

An experiment was carried out on 30 Californian does, the rabbits were allocated into a completely randomized design of 5 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were supplementation of copra meal at levels of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 g in diets in order to evaluate effects of copra meal supplement on reproductive performance of does. The results showed that in Litter1, litter size at birth, litter weight at birth, number of rabbit at weaning increased with increasing of copra meal in the diets, the higher values were found in the BDD20 and BDD25 treatments (Plevel of 20 g/doe/day had better reproductive performance and gave higher profit. In comparison between 2 litters showed that there was increase of litter sizes at birth and milk productivity in Litter 2 as compared those in Litter 1.
