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...

Effect of 5 and 10% ground olive leaf (GOL) supplement in standard concentrate pellets on blood liver enzymes and glucose levels in groups of 7 male mixed breed local rabbits fed daily for 7 weeks is reported. Controls (n=7) were fed pellets without GOL. Compared with controls, results suggest...

To investigate serum biochemical indices of Wannan yellow rabbits, twelve healthy Wannan yellow rabbits (half male and half female) at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age were selected, respectively. Blood samples from each rabbit were collected from ear veins. The analyses of blood glucose and blood lipid...

The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of castration and sex hormones on hormonal and biochemical traits of male rabbits. 36 mature local rabbits were divided into 6 groups. 1^st group: Intact, 2^nd group: castrated. 3^rd and 5^th group: Intact rabbits treated i.m with testosterone 10 mg/kg...

The article considers changes in biochemical blood parameters depending on the degree of adaptation process manifesting on the plantar surface of hind limbs of different sex rabbits and physiological state under cage husbandry technology. Groups of stud bucks (1st series), pregnant and lactating...

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,...

Background and Aim: Salinomycin sodium, a licensed coccidiostat in rabbits, is used for fattening at a dose of 20-25 mg/kg. Salinomycin toxicity may arise from many risk factors (e.g., overdosage or use in non-target animal species). Silymarin extracted from milk thistle has antioxidant,...

The aim of this study was to assess biochemical markers of rabbit amniotic fluid during fetal growth stage of successful pregnancy. Experiments were executed on 15 pregnant rabbits at three different time point of successful pregnancy i.e. day 18, day 25 and day 28 with commercially accessible kits ...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of season and housing system on hematochemical attributes of rabbits in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Adult healthy rabbits (n=30) were divided into two groups of equal size (n=15). Group I was housed in a modern cage system and group II in...

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 ...
