Thirty two weaned New Zealand White rabbits of either sex were randomly divided into four treatment groups. Experimental rabbits in treatment groups T1 and T2 were housed in cage system while rabbits under treatment groups T3 and T4 were housed in pen system. Rabbits of treatment groups T1 and T3 were fed standard concentrate diets without yeast supplementation while T2 and T4 were fed concentrate diets supplemented with 2% yeast (Saccharomyces cereviciae and Candida rugosa, 2 X 1013 cfu). At 13 weeks of age, rabbits raised in cage housing system (T1&T2) had significantly (Pmost efficient feed economics and sensory attributes of cooked rabbit meat.
