On the other hand, bucks of G2 exhibited a decrease (P<0.05) in ejaculate volume (29.3 %) as compared to the bucks of T3. Sperm concentration, total sperm output, total motile sperm and semen quality were significantly decreased in the bucks of G2 as compared to the bucks of G1. Sperm motility was decreased (P<0.05) in the bucks of G2 as compared to other groups. Also, bucks of G2 showed significantly increased in dead spermatozoa, sperm abnormalities and hydrogen ion (pH) as compared to other two treatments. Bucks drank saline water (G2) had significant increase in reaction time as compared to the bucks of G1 and G3. However, bucks of G2 had insignificantly decreased testosterone hormone by 36.9 and 32.5 % as compared to the bucks of G1 and G3, respectively. Conclusively, applying alternating water system as a biostimulation method could eliminate the drastic effects of continuous drinking saline well water on reproductive performance of rabbits under new reclaimed lands.
