Rabbit meat is highly appreciated for its high nutritional and dietetic quality, which could be enhanced by natural additives. Therefore, in this study, the effect of bacteriocinogenic and probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium EF9a isolated from Pannon White rabbits was checked on growth and meat quality (pH, colour, water holding capacity (WHC) , protein, fat and energy content) of broiler rabbits in a model experiment. The average daily weight gain was higher in EF9a group (p < .0001). The treatment did not have a negative influence on the pH, colour, WHC, protein and fat contents or energy value of the rabbit carcase. Inferring from these results we conclude that the application of this new bacteriocinogenic E. faecium EF9a strain with probiotic properties could be promising in rabbit farms.HIGHLIGHTS The new bacteriocinogenic E. faecium EF9a strain could be used in rabbit farms. The EF9a strains application increased average daily weight gain. Treatment with the EF9a strain does not affect meat quality.
