Does cooking broccoli negate the fiber benefits?
Strictly speaking, yes, it does break down some of the fiber. That said, unless you boil the broccoli until falls to pieces, you do not lose that much nutritional value. If broccoli is cooked right, the fiber will be partially broken down so it can actually be digested easier than if it were raw. A small percentage of fiber is broken down beyond use, but as a whole it is still very healthy for you.
The best balance between healthy and cooked? Steaming. A quick steam over simmering water until the broccoli starts to look bright green, to be precise. It will still have a slight crispness to it but be soft enough to easily eat and it will get rid of the nasty raw-flavour. Personally, I hate raw broccoli but I love steamed broccoli.

Fresh broccoli, especially the greens, is very healthy for rabbits, although the stem and florets sometimes cause gas (which can be painful, and actually life-threatening!), so it's a good idea to observe your rabbit closely after she's eaten broccoli, and not to serve very much (some rabbits are more sensitive than others).
