Feed is one of the most substantial aspects of financing in the rabbit farming business. Rabbits can breed efficiently with cost-effective feed. This study aims to assess the impact of incorporating Leucaena leaf meal into the diet of rabbits on their growth and production. The study was conducted at the North Sulawesi Agricultural Technology Assessment Center (AIAT) from March to May 2020, using 16 New Zealand White broiler rabbits, all males over 3 months old. The experimental design used a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replications. The treatments tested were as follows: P1 - 0% Leucaena leaf meal, P2-10% Leucaena leaf meal, P3-20% Leucaena leaf meal, and P4-30% Leucaena leaf meal. Parameters observed include weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion. The results are shown as follows: -weight gain: P1-247.45 grams, P2-202.74 grams, P3-196.37 grams, P4-225.70 grams. - Feed consumption: P1-6851.73 grams, P2-6902.88 grams, P3-7590.32 grams, P4-6946.57 grams. - Feed conversion: P1-28.98, P2-37.31, P3-39.98, P4-33.81. These findings suggest that introducing up to 30% Leucaena leaf meal into the diet of rabbits does not adversely affect weight gain.
