Abstract
This chapter considers the health troubles (mainly digestive) linked to the balance of dietary components and the presence of nutrients in excess, mainly in relation to the initial composition of feed ingredients. The feeding strategies, particularly the control of feed intake for the young rabbit to reduce post-weaning digestive troubles, is discussed. The health consequences of non-nutritional components that are frequently associated with feed ingredients, such as mycotoxins, are also presented. Emphasis is also given to water quality, since water is also able to induce nutritional disorders when certain soluble components are too concentrated.
