ABSTRACT

This research aimed to determine the effect of giving Soursop (Annona muricata) leaves on the performance of local rabbit
which was manifested in feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion of male local rabbit (lepusnigricollis). The material
used in this research were 20 male of local rabbits with a body weight of ±400-500 grams. This research was an experimental research
using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisted of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment given was supplementary
feeding of soursop leaves in the ration as much as A: 0%, B: 1%, C: 2%, D: 3%, E: 4% of the rabbit's body weight. The results showed a
very significant effect (P<0.01) on feed consumption, while body weight gain and ration conversion did not have a significantly
different effect (P<0.05). Based on the results of the research it can be concluded that giving of Soursop ( Annona muricata) as
additional feed up to a level of 4% in the ration is still safe for local rabbits.

Keywords : Local Rabbits, Feed Consumption, Body Weight Gain, Ration Conversion, Soursop Leaves.
