Includes references.

A tota1 of sixty male New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits weaned at 6 weeks of age, were divided into 6 equal groups (10 rabbits/ group) according to their live body weight (~927 g), to evaluate the possibility of feeding growing rabbits on diets containing untreated or treated (by fungus, lactic acid bacteria, isopropanol or heat) jojoba meal (JM) and their response on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, carcass traits, blood plasma parameters as well as economical efficiency. The growing rabbits were fed the control diet (diet without jojoba meal), of the diet containing 10 % either untreated or treated jojoba meal, accordingly, a total of 6 experimental diets were used.
