Sažetak

The 45d experiment was conducted to study the effect of aroma supplementation to the diets on growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics of fattening New Zealand White rabbits. There were two treatment groups: one without a supplement and the other with 0.03% aroma TIMIKO. The body weight gain, feed intake and utilization, and carcass characteristics were determined. Rabbits fed the aroma diet grew faster (P<0.001) than the rabbits fed the control diet (37.3 v/s 34.0 g, respectively). TIMIKO addition increased average daily feed intake by 7.5% (144 v/s 134 g, respectively) and improved feed conversion ratio by 4.0%. No differences in dressing percentage were abserved.
