AB  - The aim of this study was to provide a theoretical basis for population and application of Chinese herbal medicine feed additive in the rex rabbit breeding. About 108 weaned-rex rabbits aged 40 days were divided into 3 groups, each group divided into six repeats. Group A were fed with basal diet; Group B were fed with basal diet and 0.3% level of Chinese herbal medicine feed additives; Group C were fed with basal diet and 0.4% level of Chinese herbal medicine feed additives. After 150 days’ breeding, slaughtered them to do sampling for determination. The result showed that: there was significant difference among fur thickness, area of skins, tensile strength and load elongation in each group (p<0.05) but no significant difference was found in wool staple length, wool fineness, wool density, hide thickness, shrinkage temperature and pH (p>0.05). It was proved that Chinese herbal medicine feed additives could improve fur quality of rex rabbits the best addition of 0.4%.
