A 12-week study was conducted to determine the effect of graded
levels of raw tallow seed meal (RTSM) on growth performance, haematological
and biochemical parameters and organoleptic qualities of growing rabbits. Five
experimental diets were compounded to contain 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% RTSM
replacing the palm kernel cake weight for the weight designated as T1, T2, T3, T4
and T5, respectively. Forty-five (45) weaned rabbits between 5 and 6 weeks with
an average body weight ranging from 500 to 600 g of mixed breeds and sexes
(females and males) were randomly allocated to the five (5) dietary treatments in
the randomized complete block design with nine (9) rabbits per treatment
replicated three (3) times with three (3) rabbits each. Data were collected on feed
intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, nutrient digestibility, some
haematological and biochemical parameters and organoleptic qualities of the
rabbits. The feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio were significantly
