| Abstract |
A total number of one hundred eighty eight mature Californian (Cal.) rabbits was used in the present study to evaluate the effects of water administering prebiotic Lactomannan® or / and probiotic (effective microorganisms-EM1-) on their productive and reproductive performance. The present study was carried out on 152 nonparous does and 36 sexual mature bucks of Cal rabbits aged 9 months. All animals were divided into four equal comparable experimental groups 9 bucks and 38 does in two sequence parities in each group). The first group was kept untreated (as a control group), while the other three groups (treated groups) were treated with 1ml Lactomannan; 0.5 ml EM1 or combination of Lactomannan + EM1 /1 liter drinking water /3 continues days weekly, respectively, during the experimental period. which lasted for 4 months.
The results obtained revealed that nutrients digestibility was arranged significantly (P<0.05) in a descending order due to combination of Lactomannan + EM1; EM1; Lactomannan in drinking water and then by control group respectively. Supplementing Lactomannan or/and EM1) to drinking water of Cal rabbit bucks improved significantly (P<0.05) their reproductive capability represented by libido and physical semen characteristics (semen-ejaculate volume; advanced-sperm motility; live and normal spermatozoa; acrosome status and sperm cell concentration per ml and per ejaculate); gonads and pituitary gland weight; scrotal circumference and testicular index. Californian rabbit bucks drank water supplemented with Lactomannan or / and EM1) recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher testosterone concentration and mating activity than those of control group californian rabbit does drank water contained Lactomannan or/ and EM, and mated naturally by using bucks drank the same treated water recorded kindling rate; litter size and weight at birth; milk yield and pre-weaning mortality rate significantly (P<0.05) better than those of received untreated water (control group) drinking water contained combination of Lactomannan and EM1 showed significantly (P<0.05) superior parameters compared to those obtained when using each other alone. Generally it can be concluded that supplementing 1ml Lactomannan and 0.5 ml EM1 / liter to of drinking water showed a great role in improving growth performance and reproductive performance, of cal rabbits.
