Abstract

In animal feed diets are formulated to provide total conditions to express their full productive potential, however most of the ingredients used to make balanced diets consequently increase the cost of the final product. The objective of this review is to show which alternative foods are available in Brazilian territory with potential use to be used in rabbit nutrition. It has been found that the main alternative foods used are crude glycerin, soybean hulls, bee pollen, dehydrated citrus pulp, cottonseed meal and co-products from sugarcane. In this sense, the use of these by-products provides greater sustainability in the production without affecting negative performance or metabolism of these animals, helping to reduce the costs of production with feed.
