Rabbit coccidiosis is a very serious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, which increases production rate free radicals, especially reactive oxygen species. When generation radicals exceeds scavenging capacity body’s antioxidant system, oxidant-antioxidant balance broken, resulting in oxidative stress. This study was designed to investigate effect on status rabbits infect...

The productivity, slaughter parameters and weight of internal organs fattening young rabbits the White Giant breed additionally fed by probiotic supplement Probiol containing three types lactic acid bacteria (Streptococcus faecium, Lactobacillus plantarum, salius) have been researched. It was found out that additional feeding in amount 0.025 % to feed has a positive effect on survival indicator...

In this study, we created LDL receptor (LDLr) defective (WHHL) transgenic rabbits expressing human apo[a] to examine whether LDLr mediates the Lp[a] clearance from the plasma. By crossbreeding WHHL rabbits with human apo[a] transgenic rabbits, we obtained two groups of human apo[a] transgenic rabbits with defective LDLr functions: apo[a](1/0) WHHL heterozygous (LDLr(+/-) and apo[a](+/0) WHHL ho...

Background: Immunotherapy is the only specific treatment for scorpion envenomation. In the present study, the protective effects of polyvalent antivenom against histopathological complications in kidneys and marker changes (BUN and creatinine) induced by Mesobuthus eupeus (Me) scorpion venom was investigated in anesthetized rabbits. Methods: Twenty four rabbits were randomized into four gro...

Background/objective: Despite the present routine treatment of septic arthritis with antibacterial agents, articular damage is persistent and frequently leads to loss of joint function.  The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intra-articular corticosteroids added to systemic antibiotics in the treatment of experimental staphylococcal knee joint infection in rabbits. Methods: Thirty r...

Objective- The aim of the present survey was to evaluate whether the results of cardiac measurements using the VHS are a useful indicator of the origin of normal rabbits. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Forty seven adult healthy New Zealand White rabbits (25 male, 22 female) with age 10-18 months and weight 1.5-2.5 Kg. Procedures- To assess the influence of breed on the vertebral heart ...

Background & Objectives: Alloxan & streptozotocin are used for inducing diabetic models. Their combination has been used to reduce the individual chemical dosage and minimize the side effects. Present investigation was aimed at studying pre-diabetic clinical changes induced by low doses of Alloxan-STZ cocktail in rabbits. Methods: New Zealand White rabbits, 1-1.5 kg body weight, were administe...

How would Fibonaccis age-old sequence be redefined if, instead of bearing one pair of baby rabbits per month, the mature rabbits bear two pairs of baby rabbits per month? The answer is an intriguing sequence that has led to the development of what are herein defined as "multi-nacci sequences of the order q <," where q is the number of rabbit pairs per litter. Table 1 illustrates the sequence wi...

A total of 625 progenies New Zealand White rabbits, kept at Sakha Experimental Rabbits, Kafr-El-Sheikh, Government, belonging to Animal production Research Institute, Ministry Agriculture, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt, during 2010-2017 were used estimate the genetic parameters and phenotypic trends for some reproductive productive traits. Traits studied litter size birth (LSB), weight (LWB), kit body fo...
