On daily basis, 100 g of wheat bran was offered with 500 g each of the three forages per rabbit. Data were collected on feed leftover on daily basis and live weight on weekly basis for the period. Data collected were subjected to analysis using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) while the means were separated using Lease Significant Difference at 5% level of probability. The result shows that there were significant difference (P<0.05) in the level of feed consumption and live weight.
