Sixty New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits weaned at 5 weeks of age were distributed among 5 treatments to evaluate date pits in feeding rabbits at levels 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 respectively. Rabbits of each treatment were individually caged and body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion were recorded and calculated weekly up to 12 weeks of age. Digestibility trials were carried out to evaluate the digestibility coefficient of date pits and to determine the effect of the different levels of date pits on the digestion coefficients of the different nutrients of the five isonitrogenous-isocaloric diets. Four representative rabbits from each feeding treatment were chosen randomly at 12 weeks of age for studying the carcass characteristics. In conclusion, to achieve the maximum return from the rabbit keeping in developing countries information is needed about waste or neglected resources which could be transferred into protein in the form of meat to save cereals and legumes for human consumption only.
