Experiment 1 was a digestibility trial using 20 adult rabbits (10 rabbits/group) and experiment 2 was a growth performance and carcass evaluation using 24 growing rabbits in a completely randomised design. Two diets were formulated to contain either 250 g Dry Matter (DM) barley (Barley diet) or 250 g DM oak Acorn (Acorn diet)/kg and included mainly, wheat bran, soybean meal, hay, molasses, calcium phosphate, Cu SO4 and salt. Inclusion of acorn in the diet did not result in any change in odour and fungal contamination nor in the feed intake (p&gt;0.05). However, acorn in the diet decreased the in vivo digestibility by 10.8, 11.5 and 17.5%, respectively, for DM, Organic Matter (OM) and Crude Protein (CP). Although the rabbits fed acorn diet retained less nitrogen than those fed barley diet, they were positive in the nitrogen balance. The final live weight and daily weight gain from weaning through slaughter did not show any significant difference between rabbits fed the control diet and those fed the experimental diet. Similar carcass yield and feed conversion ratio were observed for the 2 groups. Weight of full gastrointestinal, liver, kidney and caecum were not affected (p&gt;0.05) by the presence of acorn in the experimental diet. A more careful evaluation of the real content and digestibility of nutrients from acorn is necessary to evaluate their nutritional value before considering them as a potential feed for rabbits.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diouf, Papa-Niokhor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Merlin, André</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrin, Dominique</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antioxidant properties of wood extracts and colour stability of woods</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Antioxidant capacities of extracts were measured by three methods: the oxygen uptake method, the kinetic DPPH method, and the equilibrium DPPH method. There is a fair correlation between the three methods. Total phenol contents of the extracts and colour stability of woods were measured. For the same phenol content, extracts containing condensed tannins are more antioxidant than those containing hydrolysable tannins. Colour stability is clearly correlated neither with phenol content nor with antioxidant capacity of the extracts, but it is conferred to non durable woods if impregnated with extracts of durable species. Light aging is accompanied by consumption of the most antioxidant compounds of the extracts first.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record></records></xml>
