Abstract
Aim:
The present
study aims to evaluate zootechnic parameters and blood sugar in
rabbits submitted to diets containing different levels of pepper
(Capsicum frutescens).
Materials and
Methods:
To this end, 30
rabbits weighing on average 1252±35 g at the beginning of the
experiment were subjected to five rations with three repetitions
for 56 days: The food R0 (or control) which is floury provender
contains 0% of C. frutescens; R5, R10, R15, and R20
provender containing, respectively, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% of
C. frutescens fruits’ powder. Rabbits consumed on average
from 75.47 to 80.97 g dry matter.
Results:
Digestibility ranged from 52.39% to 61.01%. The average daily
gain and feed consumption index were similar for all diets.
Blood glucose was amended by the various servings is 0.98 g/L
and 0.88 g/L, respectively, for doses.
Conclusion:
It
appears from this study that rabbits consumed well diets
containing C. frutescens. However, C. frutescens’
effect on the growth performances of rabbits is not noticeable.
Furthers experiments will be useful to evaluate C. frutescens’
mechanism of action on blood sugar.
Keywords:
blood sugar, Capsicum frutescens, consumption index,
rabbit.
