Abstract: Rabbit is an animal with rapid growth and reproduction abilities that could make it an effective solution in the fight against protein deficiency in populations. Unfortunately, its diet often represents the main limiting factor in expressing its production potential in a tropical environment. This study was initiated with the aim of contributing to improving the productivity of rabbits through the incorporation of coffee pulp into their diet. A total of eighty (80) common rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were used in a completely randomized design, including 20 adults with an average weight of 2652 ± 186 g for the digestibility trial and 60 rabbits aged 50 days with an average weight of 1183 ± 134 g for the growth performance trial. A group of rabbits fed the control ration (R0) without coffee pulp was compared to three other groups fed rations containing 10% (R1), 20% (R2) and 30% (R3) of crushed dried coffee pulp. The ingestion of crude fiber significantly increased with the increasing level of coffee pulp in the ration. The highest value (13.89 ± 0.25 g/d) was obtained with 30% coffee pulp, while the lowest (9.93 ± 0.66 g/d) was with the control ration (0%). The crude fiber and protein digestibility significantly increased with increasing level of coffee pulp in the ration. The highest values (54.24 ± 4.83 g/d; 58.36 ± 2.13 g/d respectively for crude fiber and nitrogen) were obtained with 30% coffee pulp. Feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly influenced by the presence of coffee pulp in rabbits' ration. Coffee pulp inclusion in feed had no significant effect on the different carcass yields. The relative weights of the liver and kidney were significantly higher with increasing inclusion level of coffee pulp in the ration. The production cost per kilogram of live weight tends to decrease with the incorporation of coffee pulp in rabbit ration. Coffee pulp constitutes a by-product that can be recycled and their incorporation at 10% in rabbit ration can reduce production cost without negatively affecting their growth performance.Abstract: Rabbit is an animal with rapid growth and reproduction abilities that could make it an effective solution in the fight against protein deficiency in populations.
