Performance and Haematological Parameters On Grower Rabbits Fed Newsprint Waste As Partial Replacement For Maize

ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of utilizing newsprint waste (NPW) as replacement for maize on performance and haematological parameters of grower rabbits.

Sixteen grower rabbits between 10-12 weeks old were randomly assigned on weight equalization to the treatments during 8-weeks trial. Preliminary investigation was carried out to establish the effect of processing on the chemical composition of newsprint waste. Four diets were formulated using newsprint waste to partial replace maize at 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5% levels to four diets 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. There was significant (p
