An experiment to study the hematological, energy and protein retention of body rabbit, performance and carcass quality responses of rabbit (Lepus nigricollis) fed diets containing different levels of fermented coffee pulp was carried out for 12 weeks. A Completely Randomized Design Consisted of five treatments and eight replicates was used in this experiment. A total of 80 rabbits were divided into 40 lots of two rabbits each were randomly assigned and offered diet without coffee pulp as control diets (R0), diets contained 10% unfermented coffee pulp (R1), 20% unfermented coffee pulp (R2), diets contained 10% fermented coffee pulp (R3), diets contained 20% fermented coffee pulp (R4). Hematological variable of rabbit fed diet R3 was better than R4, R2, R1 and R0. Rabbit offered diets R3 produce energy and protein retention was higher causes the performance and carcass of rabbits higher than the other treatment. From this experiment it can be concluded that hematology, energy and protein retention, performance and carcass quality of the rabbit fed diets contained 10% fermented coffee pulp was better than other treatment.
