Abstract: This experiment was conducted to study the effect of pine needle powder to replace part of green-hay powder on production performance and serum biochemical indices of Jiuyishan female rabbits.Twenty four and healthy female rabbits with similar weight were randomly divided into three treatments and 8 rabbits in each treatment.Rabbits in each group were fed basal diet supplemented with pine needle powder which part of 0 (control group),7.5% (group Ⅰ),15% (group Ⅱ) green-hay powder after inseminated 12 days,respectively.The adjustment period lasted for 4 days,and the experimental period lasted for 24 days.The results showed that compared with the control group,the AFI in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly decreased (P<0.05),the ADG in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05).With the level of pine needle powder increased,the A/G in the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ had a decreased tendency,the rabbits offspring litter weight had a increased tendency,but there were no significant differences among all groups (P>0.05).The serum content of AST in the group Ⅱ was extremely significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01),but there were no significant differences in the serum contents of ALT,LDH,ALP and BUN among all groups (P>0.05).In conclusion,supplementation of pine needle powder in diet to replace part of green-hay powder had different effects on production performance and serum biochemical indices of Jiuyishan female rabbits,and replaced 7.5% green-hay powder had better effect.
