Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the effect of the addition of dried ground whole leaves of the herb Salvia officinalis L in the feed for fattening rabbits, on the productive parameters, some blood indicators and carcass characteristics. The inclusion of ground dry leaves of the herb sage in feed for fattening rabbits has a positive effect on productive performance. In the experimental group were improved average daily gain by 29,2% (P<0,05), feed conversion ratio by 19% (P<0,05) for the entire experimental period and average daily feed consumption by 3,8% (P<0,05) during the first week of the experiment compared to the control.The tested additive did not reliably affect the parameters of the slaughter analysis, the chemical analysis of the meat and blood parameters.
