-and then blend with animal fat-We've got some serious crap around here that consists of whatever leftover junk they can sweep up off the floors and smash together for cheap.

For any feed, the ingredients list is the best place to start, making sure there isn't anything in there that shouldn't be fed to rabbits (animal by products, fillers, etc) and that there's a good balance of nutrition. From there it's a matter of personal preference, whether you want organic, non-GMO, or whatever is important to you. Personally if I couldn't feed organic without synthetic vitamins I wouldn't even have rabbits.
I am currently using Prime Quality 16%. It isn't the best quality stuff, but it isn't the worst, either. I think I'm going to try switching to a better feed, before I take the plunge into growing fodder.jam121501":2gxu8hlo said:What is the best commercial rabbit feed? Want to see what everyone else is using.

options, I'd look hard at the other one.

I have not read this in depth, but what I did read was impressive. The conclusion of this study is that cinnamon positively impacted growout rates, milk production, kindling success--just about everything. I tried to copy key passages but wasn't able to on my kindle. I am going to read this study in depth, and I strongly suspect I'll be adding cinnamon to my grain mixture!
