Contents: An experiment was conducted over a 56 days period with 60 New zealand white crossbred post weaned young rabbits aged about 4 -5 weeks having an initial average live weight of 418-438 g whose mothers fed diets containing 13.17, 16.64 and 21.00% CP. The young rabbits were fed concentrate diets containing 16.64% CP along with ad libitum green grass (Hymenachne pseudointerrupta). According to their mother diets, they were assigned into 3 experimental groups (A, B & C) The average dry matter intake was significantly (P<0.01) higher in the rabbits of group B than group A & C. Live weight gain was significantly (P<0.01) higher in group C (16.6 g/day) than group A (8.7 g/day) and B (14.6 g/day). The young rabbits of group C converted feed to meat more efficiently than group A & B. So, it may be suggested that for better post weaned litter performance, concentrate mixtures containing 21.00% CP diet along with ad libitum green grass may be provided to rabbit does during their pregnancy and weaning period under tropical conditions.
