In the studies, the bioadditive "CarnEon 50" was used, recommended for optimizing the intensive fattening of young monogastric animals to balance their ration with carnitine effectively. The research aimed to find out the effectiveness and safety of the use of a bio-additive as an element of intensive rabbit meat production. Research methods - zootechnical, laboratory, statistical. A compound feed recipe based on local feed ingredients was developed for intensive fattening of young rabbits of the newly created chinchilla-like type. It was established that the addition of "CarnEon 50" to the diet of fattening young rabbits in the amount of 150, 200 and 250 g/t increased their productivity at the age of 90 days, in particular, live weight - by 2.9-6.8%, average daily gains - by 4.2-10.5%, lifetime waist width (an indicator of meatiness) by - 3.04.5%, feed conversion improved by 2.5-3.9%. It is shown that the use of a bioadditive in the amount of 200-250 g/t of compound feed in the rations of young rabbits during intensive production of rabbit meat makes it possible to reduce direct costs for the production of 1 ton of rabbit meat by 20,94 USD and increase the profitability of production by 2%.
