The Dietary Fat Level in the Nutrition of the Rabbit

Edward J. Thacker

U.S. Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, Ithaca, New York

Under conditions of ad libitum feeding, rabbits fed a purified diet that contained at least 10% of fat made greater body gains than did animals fed a similar diet that contained 5% of fat or when fed a commercial rabbit ration. It is probable that the increased acceptability of the diets with higher levels of fat was a significant factor in the increased gains observed with ad libitum feeding.

Manuscript received 27 August 1955.
