ABSTRACT
This paper presents a study that investigate the difference between the growth effects from two feeds combinations of the usual feed supplement of poultry growers mash with common roughages and the usual main feed supplement from cassava products with common roughages. Sixteen (16) rabbit wearers, six males and 10 females were shared into two hutches (A and B). Hutch “A” formed the control group while hutch “B” formed the experimental group. One null hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. Independent t-test was used to test the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant difference between the weight gains of two groups of rabbits on two different feed stuff. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that cassava, by products in the South-South Nigeria, should be harnessed and turned to feeding of rabbits for large scale production.
