Abstract
Twenty-four cross bred, six weeks old Rabbits of average initial weight of 437.5g were placed on feeding trial that lasted five weeks. The rabbits were randomly divided into three treatment groups of 8 rabbits each and fed three diets containing 0% (control), 50% and 100% Raw Sundried Water Yam (RSWY). Result showed that there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among the dietary treatments in weight gain feed intake and feed efficiency ratio. However significant difference (p<0.05) existed in protein efficiency ratio. The cost per Kg feed and cost of feed per Kg Weight gain were significantly (p<0.05) influenced.
