<what is >
Pros[edit | edit source]
Cheap, fast weight gain in grow outs.

digestibility[edit | edit source]
not very digestible to rabbits.
1. Ear maize
maize whole grain soaked overnight [7]| Ingredients | type of rabbit | Maintenance or growth | Authors |
|---|---|---|---|
| adult | NO* | Prasad et al., 1996[8] | |
| ROW2 | ROW2/COL2 |
- When the growth or maintenance column is marked "no", it means that this raw material was nutritionally completely imbalanced or contained a toxic compound.
- Table 2. Raw ingredients studied as only feed. page 691, Reflections on rabbit nutrition with a special emphasis on feed ingredients utilization January 2004 Authors:François Lebas
page 688 lists the breakdown of nutrients for ideal rabbit growth
