Abstract

Functional Food (FF) refers to a food that besides of impact on the animals and human nutrition, also help on the reduction risk of some illness and even on their control. Nutraceutical Food (NF) refers to products derived usually from FF and are presented commonly as drugs to prevent or reduce some illness. These kinds of foods are not widely used animals and specifically in rabbits. The aim of this review was to describe and analyse benefits of FF in rabbits and to propose practices that increase the use of these kinds of foods on the rabbit meat production.
