Embryonic Sexing in Rabbits by Using Special Diet and Change of Vaginal PH

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of diet and Chang of vaginal pH on Sex ratio in different groups and biochemical parameters in pregnant does,. A total of 15 rabbits. Relied on the program (Diet +intra vaginal washing+ Time of copulation) Divided into three groups, Group I 5 pregnant females supplied with drinking water mixed with sodium and potassium, Group II 5 pregnant females supplied with drinking water mixed with calcium and magnesium, and Group III 5 pregnant females (control) supplied with drinkinggreater thanpuregreater thanwatergreater thanwithoutgreater thananygreater thanadded. The study involved rabbits Weight of 2.5-3 kg at the age of about (9 months). Blood samples were collected from pregnant does in different groups. It was found that the delivering off springs male to female ratio were 10.71-0.41and o.71 for the first, second and third groups respectively. Also, yields maximum numbers of offspring males in (Na, K) group was (91.42 %). Also, yields minimum numbers of offspring females in Na and K (8.57 %). while rabbits fed with Ca and Mg yields (27, 5 %) female pregnant does with Ca and Mg yield lowest numbers of offspring in males (27, 5 %). but yields maximum number in females (72.5 %). was higher than the male offspring in control group (40 %) and also male offspring of mothers (Ca, Mg) (27, 5 %) was lower than the male offspringgreater thaningreater thancontrolgreater thangroupgreater than (40 %). Our results suggest that different amounts of ions in the diet of rabbits can have significant effect on the sex ratio of delivered rabbits offspring.
