The objective of the present study was to evaluate the nutrients apparent digestibilities in growing rabbits fed diets with different starch levels (22 or 32% on average) by high or low inclusion of corn grain and different fiber sources (alfalfa hay or soybean hulls), in 2×2 factorial outline. The diets were pelleted and supplied to 64 New Zealand White rabbits (16 replicates per treatment), weaned at 34 days, housed individually in metabolism cages and allotted to a complete randomized design.
