The effect of 1-week feed restriction on performance, digestibility of nutrients and digestive system development in the growing rabbit
A 3 to 4 week feed restriction of about 20% to 25% of the free intake is widely applied in rabbit breeding systems to reduce post-weaning digestive disorders. However, a short intensive feed restriction is described in few studies and can be beneficial for growing rabbits due to a longer re-alimenta...
