Dietary soluble fibre limits the incidence of epizootic rabbit enteropathy (ERE) and improves the energy and nitrogen balance in low-insoluble fibre diets, while high-insoluble fibre diets seem to favour ERE. This study assessed whether the positive effects of soluble fibre are influenced by the level of insoluble fibre. Four diets (2 × 2 factorial arrangement) were used with two levels of insoluble fibre (314 vs. 393 g/kg DM) and soluble fibre (87 vs. 128 g/kg DM), resulting in four diets with increasing total dietary fibre levels. Growth performance and chemical composition (body and carcass) (28-62 days of age), faecal digestibility (54-57 days of age), and jejunal morphometry functionality (39 days of age) were determined. Mortality was low (&lt;1%) and treatments did not influence it. Insoluble and soluble fibre tended to reduce the growth rate ( p ≤ 0.109), body protein, and fat accretion ( p = 0.049 to 0.120), but only insoluble fibre impaired feed efficiency ( p &lt; 0.001). The efficiency of digestible energy used for growth was impaired with the increase of total dietary fibre ( p = 0.027), while that of nitrogen remained majorly unaffected. In conclusion, in healthy rabbits, the increase of either insoluble or soluble fibre had no benefit.
