Abstract	Abstract The research was conducted from July to August 2023 at Bataan Peninsula State University Brgy. Bangkal Abucay, Bataan. The study aimed to determine and compare the effect of feeding Purslane in terms of the following parameters: Determine the growth in terms of initial weight, average gain in weight, final weight, feed conversion rate, and mortality rate. Determine and compare the interaction of two breeds and levels of purslane supplementation on the growth performance of rabbits. Along the process, it was observed that feeding purslane to rabbits on some of the Californian white rabbit breeds has greater effects on improving their growth performance. Californian white rabbit breeds were becoming the most promising traits concerning growth. Additionally, the supplementation of purslane to their daily roughage intake has demonstrated noteworthy results concerning growth performance
