Feed/Saving Money Question

[Zaiya]

So I was just reading about fermented feeds for chickens on another forum (http://www.chickenforum.com/f17/fermented-feeds-5523/), and saw how much money people were saving by doing this (http://naturalchickenkeeping.blogspot.com/2013/08/cost-savings-from-fermenting-feed-for.html).

Is there anything that I can do to decrease feed consumption in my rabbits while getting better results (fur quality, weight, feces, etc.)? Would feeding fermented feeds be safe for the delicate digestive system of rabbits? (no alchohol or anything, don't worry. Read some of the thread that is the first link) Or maybe a pellet mash or something?

BTW, this is just a random idea, and don't think it'd work, but I'm just wondering if there's a possibility... XD

Thanks!

I don't think it would replace pellets or anything but have you looked into fodder at all?

Here's an article about meat breeders in Australia feeding fodder:

And here's a blog with some great instructions:

I really don't know much about it or if it's even along the lines of what you were looking for.
