Abstract

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of a feed restriction on a feed cost, growth performance and meat quality and carcass traits of Czech White rabbits. Over the whole fattening period, the feed restriction reduced significantly the feed conversion ratio (P=0.009), and thereby a margin on the feed cost was improved by 10.3%. Carcass characteristics and meat quality were not greatly affected by the feed restriction, except for a profile of fatty acids.
