The study was conducted on 32 male rabbits, given two doses of
emulsion powder fenugreek seeds (750 ,1500 mg / kg) by mouth.
The research included changes in body weight and testes, sperm density
and the proportion of natural and distorted living
sperm, the level of
serum testosterone, and histological changes in the testis and
epididymis.
The result shows that givingfenugreek seeds powder in a moderate dose
of 750 mg / kg, was not associated clear negative changes, and the
results were approachedto the control group .
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of calyx aqueous extract of Hibiscus
sabdariffa on liver enzymes Alanine and Aspartate Transaminases (ALT and AST)level.
(12) Rabbits were used and divided into two groups : (6) the experimental gro
up and
(6) control group ,the control group became distilled water , while the experimental group
received aqueous extract, that was administrated orally in adose of150 mg / kg body
weight (b.w.) daily for28 days .Then blood was collected each 48 hours , the serum
samples were taken and prepared to the biochemical tests to determine Alanine and
Aspartate Transaminases (ALT and AST)level.
This study was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus
University, during the period from the beginning of January and the beginning
of April, during the year 2002, on 107 local rabbit offsprings at one day age,
were divided according to
the color into five groups: 27 white, 22 black, 25
brown, 14 red, and 19 gray, then given numbers at the birth on her abdomens
and were weighted weekly, after that they were weaned at age 28 days.
This study was conducted in the Agricultural college, Damascus university
during the period from March 1ST until the beginning of July 2001 to determine
some productive parameters in local Syrian female rabbits.
Seventy six adult females and twelv
e bucks from the local rabbits were used
in the present study. These animals were divided according to their color into
five groups (6 females each). The colors were white, black, white and black ,
red, gray and one group (7 female) of brown color. The animals were housed
individually in cages. The females of each group were randomly bred with tow
bucks. The parameters studied were: conception rate, gestation period and
litter size at birth, 7 days, weaning (28 days), 56 days and at the Age of 84 days.
