To overcome the feed wastage problem the present experiment was conducted in which 12 does with their suckling rabbits (60 young) were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups. The recommended pellet and crumbled pellet (small size devoid of glossy surface) were supplied as feed for 30 consecutive days after which precise assessment was performed. Result show that the crumbled pellet consumption could minimize feed waste from 12.4% in control group to 0.7% in experimental group with no adverse effects. It has also caused 13% increase in young';s weight rate.
