Nanotechnologies are developing continuously, and their use is becoming more diverse and concrete, with high potential to improve the products of animal husbandry and animals in general. Yet, there have been few studies of nanotechnologies in those spheres. However, to confirm the efficiency and,...

To study the effects of cold stimulation on blood routine, serum biochemical indices and immune function in rabbits, five adult healthy female rabbits were subjected to cold stimulation at 0°C. The body temperature, blood cells, serum biochemical, antioxidant and immune parameters were measured at...

Background: This study evaluated the modulatory effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) supplementations on the productive performance, blood biochemistry, carcass criteria, and meat quality of White New Zealand rabbits reared under hot conditions. A total of 125 White New Zealand male ...

It has been widely accepted that there is a significant difference in peripheral blood oxygen between arteries and veins. Therefore, arterial blood has been collected for blood gas analysis, and venous blood, because it is convenient to collect, has been used for most laboratory examinations....

In hot environments, rabbits are exposed to heat stress, which leads to significantly reduced production performance, and consequently, economic losses. Hence, new nutritional strategies to alleviate the adverse effects of increasing temperatures have become highly needed. This study aimed to test...

Hepatic coccidiosis is a frequent disease in rabbits. However, limited information is available pertaining to hematology, biochemistry, and ultrasonography of the liver in naturally infected rabbits. Two young emaciated rabbits presented with diarrhea. Microscopic fecal examination identified...

This study aimed to determine whether high-fat diet (HFD) could cause growth, behavioural, biochemical and morphological changes in young female rabbits. Thirty-six female rabbits were randomly divided into two groups fed with either a high-fat diet (HFD) or a standard normal diet (SND) for 5...

Background and Aim: Trichinellosis remains a dangerous disease for humans and animals, which can lead to a lethal outcome. The study of specific body reactions in response to invasion by different types of Trichinella can help in the early diagnosis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate...

A total of ninety-six, six weeks old rabbits were grouped into two housing types (steel and wooden hutches), sex (male and female) and four inclusion levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 ml) of oyster mushroom extract per litre of water in a 2×2×4 factorial experimental layout. One rabbit each was selected from ...

The shock is a general, non-specific pathological process, caused by the sudden action of very brutal pathogens, a situation for which the body has no reserves for qualitative and quantitative compensation-adaptation. The objective of our experiment was to make an evaluation of the changes in some...
