The aim of research to find out the supplementation of Moringa oleifera Lamm leaves (MOL) on basal diets (the grass and pollard) on feed intake, average daily gain and litter size of rabbits.The method used is the method of experiment, a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments tested are P0: grass Cynodon plectostachyus + Pollard; P1: grass Cynodon plectostachyus + (Pollard 90% + MOL 10%); P2: grass Cynodon plectostacius + (Pollard 80% + MOL 20%); P3: grass Cynodon plectostacius + (Pollard 70% + MOL 30%).The results showed that the dry matter feed intake ranged from 98 to 120 g/head/day (± 4-5% of body weight DM),the average daily gains (g/head/day) P0, P1, P2 and P3 each are 9,69a ± 1,77g, 13,48ab±3,05g; 18,96b±5,91gdan 19,83b±7,21and the average litter size of the P0, P1, P2 and P3 each are 6,25a + 0.95; 6,75a+0,50; 7,50ab+0,57; 8,75b+0,95.Conclusion of the study that the use of Moringa oleifera Lamm leaves as feed supplement concentrate female New Zealand White rabbits can increase feed intake, body weight gain and increase litter size.
