Productive Behavior of Rabbits Fed Spent Mushroom Substrates
Resumen
Thirty male rabbits (Cuban Brown) were studied for 35 days to determine their production indicators. The animal diet included spent mushroom substrate (SMS). The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments and five replications. Two treatments were analyzed: control (balanced diet including maize, soy, sugar cane meal, and mulberry leaf meal), and substitution of the mulberry leaves for milled SMS (20 and 10% inclusion). The final live weights (1.54, 1.50, and 1.52 kg), mean daily gains (17.41, 15.98, and 16.70 g/rabbit/day), feed consumption (70.04, 76.94, and 74.50 g/rabbit/day), and feed conversion (4.36, 4.81, and 4.46, respectively) showed no differences (P > 0.05) among the treatments. The substitution of mulberry leaves for SMS did not affect the productive behavior of the animals. These results suggest the inclusion of up to 20% SMS in the diet of fattening rabbits.
