Focus on The Effect of Dietary Pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata) Seed Oil Supplementation on Productive Performance of Growing Rabbits
The present study was designed to investigate pumpkin seed oil's effect on body weight, digestive enzymes' activity, and the metabolic and antioxidant parameters of growing rabbits. This study was performed using two groups of 8-weeks old New Zealand White rabbits (NZW) (n=10/ each group)....
