Abstract
This experiment was carried out to study the effect of drinking natural sea saline water on growth performance and some blood parameters of growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits reared under Saudi Arabia conditions. The obtained results indicated that the final body weight, live body gain daily feed intake, feed conversion, water intake, plasma total protein, albumin, globulin, total lipids, cholesterol and urea-N were decreased (p<0.05&0.01) significantly with drinking growing rabbits natural sea water. Also, the carcass weight, dressing % and prime cuts % were decreased, while the rectal temperature and respiration rate were insignificantly affected by the using natural sea saline water up to 20% / litter well water.
