This study examined the chemical profile and pellet quality of five selected forages (Albizia odoratissimsa, Ficus thonningii, Leucaena leucocephala, Mangifera indica, and Moringa oleifera) in the tropics. The forages were individually compounded with concentrates in equal proportions labelled T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6, respectively. Proximate composition, phytochemical profile and pellet quality were assessed. Forage T6 had higher (P0.05) while ether extract of T5 (4.70%) and crude fibre of T3 (9.16%) were the highest. Treatment 6 had more concentrations of phytochemicals while the least concentrations of phytate (0.10%), oxalate (0.05%), saponin (0.09%), tannin (2.09 x 10-3) and trypsin inhibitor (7.72mg/100g) were observed in T1. Pellet hardness (N) in week 1 was significantly higher than for other weeks while initial and final friability in treatments 1 and 2 were similar. Higher (P0.05). Total bacterial and fungi counts in the diets of grower rabbits were significantly affected by duration of storage. Highest bacteria count (82.08 x 10-4CFU) was observed at week 4 and the least (1.36 x 10-4CFU) at week 1. The effect of interaction of leaf type and storage duration on microbial loads was significant for all treatments. Pellets of desirable qualities can be produced from selected forages available in the tropics for rabbit production.
