Randomize Block Design - 2 x 3 factorial design with 6 blocks as the replications was used in this experiment. The first treatment was diet contains the same protein for 16 % (R) with metabolic energy contents for 2500 k cal/kg (R1) and 2800 k cal/kg (R2).The second treatment was space of shelter floor (L) which consists of 3500 cm2/head (P1), 1750 cm2/head (P2) and 1167 cm2/head (P3). Final body weight and weight gain of the animals fed R1 was higher (P<0.05) than that of the R2.The final body weight of the animal which was reared on the density levels P2 and P3 was higher (P<0.05) than that of the P1. From the results of the experiment could be concluded that the Rabbit (Lepus nigricollis) fed diet R1 produced growth rate higher than that of the R2.The density level of the shelter P1 produced lower growth rate than that of the P2 and P3. Key words: local Rabbit, Metabolic Energy, Levels of Density Shelter and Growth Rate
