Abstract
The present investigation was conducted to study the effects of different
housing systems on growth performance and haemato-biochemical parameters in
broiler rabbits in semi arid region of North Gujarat. Total 24 weaned rabbits (28 days
age) were randomly divided in two housing treatments, T1 (Cage housing) and T2
(Deep litter housing system). The duration of experiment was 8 weeks. Dimensions of
cage were 3x2x2 feet (3 rabbits/cage) whereas, in deep litter, 12 rabbits were kept in
24 square feet area (2 square feet/rabbit). Animals were fed restricted amount of
concentrate and vegetables whereas green fodder was fed ad-lib. Weighed quantity of
feed were given to rabbits and left over were collected next day early morning before
offering fresh feed.
