Article Synopsis
- This study explored how diets including extruded linseed and algae extract impact female rabbits' reproductive performance, milk production, and gut health.
- Thirty-six New Zealand White rabbits were split into three groups: a control group on a standard diet, a group receiving 5% linseed, and a group receiving 5% linseed plus 0.2% algae extract.
- Results showed no major dietary impacts on feed intake, body weight, or gastrointestinal health, but there was a significant reduction in perinatal and pre-weaning mortality linked to the omega-3 enriched diets, suggesting potential benefits that warrant further investigation.
The influence of partial replacement of animal protein by plant-based ingredients on the protein digestibility of beef burgers was investigated. Beef burgers were supplemented with fava bean protein concentrate (FB) or a mixture of FB and flaxseed flour (FBFS), both processed by extrusion, at different levels: 0 (control), 10, 15, and 20 % (w/w). A pilot sensory analysis was conducted to select the percentage of flour inclusion for further assays: control, 10 % FB, and 10 % FBFS.
