Using Rabbits as a Model: Artificial Insemination as a Tool to Increase Productive and Reproductive Traits
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
New Zealand white breed (twenty does and four bucks) and Hyplus breed (twenty does and four bucks) were used to study the effect of diluents and sequence of ejaculation on semen quality; as well as the mating technique effect (natural mating and artificial insemination), breed and parity effect on the Productive and reproductive traits of doe. Breed effect on semen evaluation revealed no significant difference for semen volume (SV), color (SC), PH, mass motility (MM), individual motility percent (IM%), live sperm percent (LS%) and total semen abnormalities percent (TSA%); significant difference was reported for sperm cell concentration (SCC). A significant difference was found between different diluents in LS%, SCC, TSA%. Ejaculation sequence reported a significant difference between ejaculates for SV, SC, PH, MM, IM, LS%, SCC and TSA%. Breed effect revealed a non-significant difference in number of service/conception (NSC), gestation period (GP), litter size at birth (LSB), 21 days (LS21), weaning (LSW) and pre-weaning mortalities (PWM); and a significant difference in individual weight at marketing (IWM) and ADG from 21 days old until weaning. AI as mating technique reported significant difference at NSC, LSB, LS21, LSW, LNM, IWM and ADG in both from 21 days old until weaning and from weaning until marketing age. Finally parity effect reported non-significant difference for doe performance for both breeds.
