During the making of grape juice or wine production they made polyphenols-rich by-products (grape marc, grape skin, grape seed) that can be valuable feed materials with their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. In our experiment, rabbits consumed 4% and 8% of grape marc containing feed in their growing and finishing feed mixtures. The 4% group achieved similar (in groups) or 2 to 4% lower slaughter weights (in groups and single allocation) by week 11, than the control rabbits, but with the least mortality in each growing phase. The advantage of 8% grape marc growing and finishing feed mixtures were that they had the best efficiency in feed conversion ratio for the rabbits, although their slaughter weights were not bigger than the control groups’.
