| Abstract |
Blood samples were collected from ninety-seven does of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits at mating (53 does) or during puerperium; at 1st day of parturition; ( 44does). Blood picture and rectal temperature as affected by doe traits (physiological status; doe weight and litter size and litter weight at birth ) were studied. Results showed that total erythrocytes (RBCs), haemoglobin concentration (Hb) and the packed cell volume (PCV) were significantly higher (P<0.01) during puerperium than those at mating. No significant differences due to physiological statues could be detected for total leukocytes (WBCs) and rectal temperature (RT). Doe weight effect on blood picture was significant only for RBCs and Hb (P < 0.05). effects of litter size and litter weight on all parameters were insignificant except those of litter size on RBCs; WBCs; Hb and PCV were significant (P < 0.05or 0.01). Correlation coefficient among the different parameters were insignificant except those between rectal temperature and each of total leukocytes and live litter size and litter weight at birth were significantly positive (P < 0.05 or 0.01) during puerperium, as well as, that between rectal temperature and doe weight was significantly negative ( P< 0.05) for non- pregnant does. The present results indicated that blood picture could be used as a predictor for some productive and reproductive traits of doe rabbits.
Keywords: physiological status, doe weight, blood picture, puerperium, litter size, litter weight.
