However, few studies have investigated the feed restrictions of Minxinan black rabbits (\n                    <jats:italic>Oryctolagus cuniculus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Thus, the effects of feed restriction on growth and slaughter performance, intestinal morphology, and blood biochemical indices of Minxinan black rabbits were evaluated in this study. Rabbits in group A (control group) had ad libitum intake, while those in feed restriction groups (groups B, C, and D) were restricted to 80% of the average daily feed intake (ADFI) of group A the day before. The rabbits in group B were fed once per day at 8:00 am. Rabbits in groups C and D were fed twice per day at 8:00 am (50%) and 4:00 pm (50%) and 8:00 am (30%) and 4:00 pm (70%), respectively. The experimental period lasted for 8 weeks. Compared to that in group A, the diarrhea rate of group C was significantly decreased (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05), and the ADFI, feed conversion ratio, abdominal fat weight, abdominal fat rate, total protein, albumin, globulin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), low-density lipoprotein, and intestinal crypt depth of all feed restriction groups were significantly reduced (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01). Feed conversion ratio in group D was significantly better than that in groups B and C (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05). The efficiency index (EI) of groups C and D was higher than that of groups A and B (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01). Triglyceride levels in groups C and D were significantly lower than those in group A. The villus length to crypt depth of the duodenum and jejunum in group D was significantly higher than that in group A (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01). In conclusion, the following parameters can be improved by feed restriction: feed conversion ratio, diarrhea rate, abdominal fat rate, serum ALT, lipid indices and intestinal health of Minxinan black rabbits, and the EI of the farm. Feeding twice per day, 30% at 8:00 am and 70% at 4:00 pm, had the best comprehensive effects.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-023-03467-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,28]],"date-time":"2023-01-28T03:59:02Z","timestamp":1674878342000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Effects of feeding methods on growth and slaughter performance, blood biochemical indices, and intestinal morphology in Minxinan black rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"DongJin","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ShiKun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"YanFeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JinXiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Sang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ChengFang","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"XiPing","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"3467_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1016\/j.livsci.2014.06.019","volume":"167","author":"A Akbarian","year":"2014","unstructured":"Akbarian, A., H.
