      abstract = {The experiment was conducted under rural condition over a  period of October, 2001 to February, 2002 to see the effect  of concentrate supp!ementation on the reproductive  performances of meat type rabbit. Sixteen female New  Zealand White crossbred aged about 3.5 to 4.5 months,  weighing on average 9.5 to 13.0 kg were assigned randomly  into two feeding regimes, Ti (farmers own diet ) and T2  (farmers own diet + concentrate' 75 g/day) with four  replications, in a complete randomized design (CAD). All  animals had free access to the locally available green  grass. The percent of does kidded, gestation Period, litter  size and individual kit weight at birth were similar  (13>0.05) irrespective of level of treatments. The litter  weight (g) and individual kit weight (g) at weaning, daily  average weight gain of kit and kit mortality up to weaning  differed significantly (P<0.01) and the mean values were  969.30±99.13 vs. 427.11±105.97, 408.12±3.85 vs.  310.62±3.56, 352.62±2.65 vs. 255.75±2.76 and 26.92±10.70  vs. 45.00±10.07 for T2 and Ti groups, 'respectively. These  results reveal that supplementation of concentrate (75 g/d)  in addition to adlibitum green grass may improve  reproductive performance of rabbit under rural condition.},
