The post-weaning period presents various challenges to the continuity of the rabbits’ production. The use of natural plant secondary compounds is among the promising feed additives to enhance the rabbit’s health status and growth performance. Extracts of apricot and peach kernels contain high biological phytochemicals that possess anti-oxidative and anti-microbial activities components, therefore, they and their mixture can be used as feed additives for weaned rabbits. The treatment of growing rabbits with apricot, peach, and their mixture enhanced growth performance. This enhancement was fit with improvements in nutrient digestibility, blood antioxidant indicators, and immune response of growing rabbits treated with the mixture. These results indicate the effectiveness of the mixture of apricot and peach kernel extract as a feed additive for the growing rabbits.
