The rabbit production chain has to face various problems, mainly concerning animal health and product quality. To overcome these issues, studies using a multidisciplinary approach addressing aspects of the rabbit nutrition and feeding, with a direct impact on the rabbit farming, welfare, health, and meat quality are particularly appreciated and requested by the scientific community. This book is composed of four original papers and one review focused on different nutritional approaches. In particular a phyto-additive (thyme essential oil) and a rabbit-derived bacteriocin-producing strain (Enterococcus faecium CCM7420) with probiotic properties were investigated as new feed additives, while two types of insect fats were studied, in order to understand their effects as dietary replacements for soybean oil and their in vitro antimicrobial activities as alternative raw materials. Results collected in this book will be of particular interest for farmers and animal nutritionists working in the rabbit breeding sector 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aAnimals & society$2bicssc 610 $adigestibility 610 $aenzyme activity 610 $agut histology 610 $amilk replacer 610 $arabbit 610 $aEnterococcus faecium 610 $aenterocin 610 $amicrobiota 610 $aintestinal morphology 610 $aphagocytic activity 610 $aserum biochemistry 610 $ameat quality 610 $aweight gain 610 $athymol 610 $abioavailability 610 $aantioxidant 610 $ainsect fat 610 $aHermetia illucens 610 $aTenebrio molitor 610 $agut microbiota 610 $aantimicrobial effect 610 $arabbit feeding 610 $ainsoluble fibre 610 $asoluble fibre 610 $afeed efficiency 610 $awhole body and carcass chemical composition 610 $aenergy nitrogen and mineral balance 610 $afibre digestibility 610 $amucosa morphology 610 $aenergy nitrogen and mineral retention efficiency 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aAnimals & society 700 $aGai$b Francesco$4edt$01314812 702 $aGasco$b Laura$4edt 702 $aTrocino$b Angela$4edt 702 $aGai$b Francesco$4oth 702 $aGasco$b Laura$4oth 702 $aTrocino$b Angela$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557355303321 996 $aFuture challenges in Rabbit Nutrition$93031999 997 $aUNINA
