Abstract:

The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of different Chinese herbal compound on growth performance and serum biochemistry indexes of weaned Rex rabbits. A total of 120 35 day-old weaned Rex rabbits with (700±50) g average body weight were randomly divided into 4 groups with 3 repetitions per group and 10 weaned Rex rabbits per repetition. The Rex rabbits in group Ⅰ(control group) was fed with basal diet,while that in groups Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅵ fed with basal diet containing 1% of Jianpi Wan,1% Shenqi decoction and 1% Jiawei Sijunzi decoction,respectively. Then the effect of different Chinese herbal compound on growth performance,diarrhea rate and serum biochemical indexes of weaned Rex rabbits were determined. The experiment lasted for 30 d with 7 d adjustment period.The result showed that the diarrhea frequency of groups Ⅲ and Ⅵ was significantly lower than the group Ⅰ (P < 0.05);The F/G of group Ⅵ was extremely significantly lower than that of group Ⅲ during the experiment period of 0 to 15 d (P < 0.01). And during the experiment period of 15~30 d,the ADG of group Ⅵ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ (P < 0.05),the F/G of groups Ⅲ and Ⅵ were significantly lower than that of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05).In the 15th day of the experiment,the serum BUN of group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅵ (P < 0.05), the serum GLU levels of group Ⅵ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P < 0.01) and group Ⅱ (P < 0.05).The TG of group Ⅵ was significantly higher than groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P < 0.05).In the 30th day of the experiment,the serum TP content of group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅵ (P < 0.01) and group Ⅲ(P < 0.05). In summary,the basal diet supplemented with 1% Jiawei Sijunzi decoction or 1% Shenqi decoction could efficiently reduce the diarrhea rate of weaned Rex rabbit,improve growth performance and disease resistance,and the effects of Jiawei Sijunzi decoction was better.
