| Abstract |
Thirty six doe and twenty seven buck Bouscat rabbits, 24 weeks old were used. They were divided into nine similar groups of 4 females and 3 males in each according to type of diet. The experimental groups were fed on diet without supplementation as control group or with Lacto- Sacc at 1.0 and 2.0 g /kg diet, yeast culture at 1.0 and 2.0 g / kg diet, Cocci-Nel at 0.75 and 1.5 g /kg diet and Lomoton at 0.75 and 1.5 g / kg diet to study their effect on reproductive performance and blood constituents of doe ( for three parities ) and buck rabbits.
The present results revealed that, there is no significant difference among groups in the ejaculate volume while buck rabbits fed control group recorded the better value for wave motion, sperm motility, dead, abnormal spermatozoa and sperm concentration followed by rabbits given Laco-Sacc and the lowest values recorded when buck rabbits fed Cocci-Nel supplementation. Furthermore, conception rate recorded the highest value wih the addition of yeast but the lowest value found with the addition of both control and Cocci- Nel treatments. Doe rabbits given Lomoton had higher litter size and litter weight at birth,21 and 28 days old but lower values were obtained with the supplementation of either Lacto- Sac or yeast culture. Bunny weight at birth, 21 and 28 days improved significantly (0.05) when rabbits fed yeast while those fed Lomoton recorded the highest value for litter weight gain from birth to 28 days and from 21 to 28 days. The buck rabbits fed diet supplemented with Lomoton had a marked increase in blood protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, GOT, GPT and alkaline phosphates but lower values for lipids than other groups. Concentration of lipids recorded the highest value but GOT, GPT and cholesterol recorded the lowest values when rabbits fed 1.0 g/kg diet of yeast culture. Moreover, rabbits consuming Cocci- Nel (1.5g/kg diet ) had significantly (P<0.05) lower values of blood protein, albumin and globulin than other groups.
