The study investigated the potential effect of the microbial fermented feed utilization on physicochemical traits, antioxidant enzyme and trace mineral analysis in rabbit meat. A total of 72 six‐week‐old male rabbits were weighed and randomly divided into four groups (1) (SRKC) control; (2) (SRKP) Lactobacillus plantarum 1 × 10 6 cfu/g fresh weight (FW); (3) (SRKG) Pediococcus acidilactici 1 × 10 6 cfu/g FW and (4) (SRKPG) P. acidilactici + L. plantarum 1 × 10 6 cfu/g FW. Performance characteristic, weekly body weight, was positively ( p < .05) enhanced, while daily feed intake (DFI) and feed convention ratio (FCR) were not influenced in treatments group as compared to untreated. The water, protein, water holding capacity (WHC) and dry matter (DM) concentration were positively ( p < .05) influenced, while ash, pH, lightness, redness and yellowness were not influenced in treated group as compared to untreated. The concentration of glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was positively ( p < .05) influenced in treatments group as compared to control. Regarding trace minerals, copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) were positively ( p > .05) reduced in treated group as compared to untreated. It is concluded that the addition of lactic acid bacteria ( L. plantarum and P. acidilactici ) in Hybrid pennisetum silage had a constructive influence on rabbit health performance and meat biochemistry.
