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 a...

Rabbit breeding is a special branch of animal husbandry characterized by high fertility and growth intensity. The main way intensification rabbit farming involves such selection measures that adapt populations keeping in industrial conditions, ensure reproductive properties female rabbits, preservation rabbits nests, rate, fattening meat qualities animals. research was conducted on the basis ex...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of increasing lighting after peak production on eggs production and Hatchable Eggs in broiler breeder Hubbard F15. In this research we used from 4 growing saloons, that in per saloons were 5250 Hubbards broiler breeder hens. In this Experiment we used by Line design way of GLM for analysed data, that we considered the Effects of two parameters, ...

The laboratory rabbit was evaluated as a model for screening topical mosquito repellents, using data obtained in tests of deet (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) against Aedes aegypti on humans and rabbits. Host-specific differences in the action of the test material were quantified by multiple regression analysis. The test material was less effective but more persistent in tests on rabbits, and r...

In this study, cottontail rabbit papillomavirus infection of domestic rabbits was used as an animal model to develop papillomavirus early gene-based vaccines. Groups of rabbits were intracutaneously vaccinated with single papillomavirus early genes E1, E2, E6, and E7 or with a combination of these four genes. Only a fraction of rabbits were protected from subsequent viral challenge when vaccina...

A cell-free protein-synthesizing system derived from rabbit reticulocytes is described which is dependent on the addition of transfer RNA for the translation of endogenous hemoglobin messenger RNA. Product analysis indicates that the system is active in the initiation of new chains. When hemoglobin is synthesized in the presence of a limiting amount of tRNA, there is a 50% decrease in (Y chain ...

The highly virulent rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) has been widely used in Australia and New Zealand since the mid-1990s to control wild rabbits, an invasive vertebrate pest in these countries. In January 2014, an exotic RHDV was detected in Australia, and 8 additional outbreaks were reported in both domestic and wild rabbits in the 15 months following its detection. Full-length genomi...

purpose : to determine the maximum non-toxic dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (epo) in rabbit eyes methods : eight rabbits (sixteen eyes) were scheduled for evaluating side effects of four intravitreal doses of 1000, 2000, 4000 and 5000 iu of epo, two rabbits for each dose. for each dose (two rabbits), the drug was injected for the right eyes. balanced salt solution (bss) was injected i...

tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. stromal vascular fraction (svf), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...

there is documented evidence that infection in laboratory animals can often influence the outcome of experiments. all infections, apparent or inapparent, are likely to increase biological variability. as a research project concerning the diversity and distribution of parasites of rabbit and guinea pig in a conventional laboratory animal house, about 87 rabbits (from 700 ) and 105 guinea pigs (f...
