本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加苹果渣对肉兔生长性能、养分表观消化率及肉品质的影响。选取32日龄体重相近的健康断奶肉兔350只，随机分为5组，每组70只兔。5组试验兔分别饲喂含0（对照组）、6%（Ⅰ组）、12%（Ⅱ组）、18%（Ⅲ组）和24%苹果渣（Ⅳ组）的试验饲粮。预试期9 d，正试期30 d。结果表明：1）Ⅳ组末重、平均日增重均显著高于对照组（P<0.05），Ⅰ组、Ⅲ组和Ⅳ组平均日采食量极显著低于对照组（P<0.01），Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组料重比极显著低于对照组（P<0.01）。各组腹泻率和死亡率没有显著差异（P>0.05）。2）对照组干物质表观消化率最低，极显著低于Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组（P<0.01）；Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组粗蛋白质表观消化率显著低于对照组（P<0.05），Ⅰ组与对照组差异不显著（P>0.05）。Ⅲ组中性洗涤纤维（NDF）表观消化率最高，极显著高于对照组和Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组（P<0.01）；Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组、Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组酸性洗涤纤维（ADF）表观消化率极显著高于对照组（P<0.01）。Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组能量表观消化率极显著高于对照组（P<0.01），Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组与对照组差异不显著（P>0.05）。3）各组屠宰性能、肉品质和肌肉化学成分均没有显著差异（P>0.05）。综合考虑本试验所测指标，肉兔饲粮中适宜的苹果渣添加比例为18%。

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of apple pomace on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility and meat quality of meat rabbits. A total of 350 healthy weanling rabbits at 32 days of age were randomly divided into 5 groups with 70 rabbits in each group. Rabbits in the 5 groups were fed experimental diets which contained 0 (control group), 6% (group Ⅰ), 12% (group Ⅱ), 18% (group Ⅲ) and 24% apple pomace (group Ⅳ), respectively. There were a pretrial period of 9 days followed by an experimental period of 30 days. The results showed as follows:1) the final body weight and average daily gain of group Ⅳ were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), the average daily feed intake of groups Ⅰ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was extremely significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01), the feed to gain ratio of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ was extremely significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). There were no significant differences on diarrhea rate and mortality rate among all groups (P>0.05). 2) The dry matter apparent digestibility of control group was the lowest, and extremely significantly lower than that of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P<0.01); the crude protein apparent digestibility of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences between group Ⅰ and control group (P>0.05). The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) apparent digestibility of group Ⅲ was the highest, and extremely significantly higher than that of control group, groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P<0.01); the acid detergent fiber (ADF) apparent digestibility of groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was extremely significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). The energy apparent digestibility of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ were extremely significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), but there were no significant differences among groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and control group (P>0.05). 3) There were no significant differences on slaughtering performance, meat quality and muscle chemical composition among all groups (P>0.05). Considering all indices of this experiment, the appropriate apple pomace supplemental level in the diet of rabbits is 18%.
