“…The results of the red blood cell count correlated with the concentration of haemoglobin in the blood of rabbits. The dependence of these blood parameters in rabbits was also noted by other researchers (Sukar et al, 2020). In this study, such relationships were noted depending on the amount of supplement used.…”

The need for iodine in rabbit diets has not been fully elucidated, although some commercial diets use it in varying amounts without scientific justification. The main goal of the experiment was to establish the effect of applied quantities of an organic iodine compound produced by nanotechnology -iodine citrate -on blood parameters of rabbits after weaning from 40 to 96 days of age. Experimental studies were conducted in the conditions of the vivarium of the scientific institution -Institute of Animal Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Lviv on 30 rabbits of the Termonska breed. The control and experimental groups had the same number of 6 animals, of which 3 were males and 3 were females. Young rabbits of the control group were kept on standard granulated compound feed and water without restriction. In contrast to the control, the animals of I, II, III, and IV experimental groups additionally received a solution of iodine citrate in the amount of 2.5; 3.75; 5.0 and 7.5 μg/l of water, respectively. Blood parameters were determined on the 40 th day of life (preparatory period) and on the 18 th , 43 rd and 56 th days of iodine citrate supplementation. Studies have established a higher number of red blood cells and haemoglobin concentration in the blood of rabbits of Group II (P≤0.05) on the 43 rd and 56 th days; Group III (P≤0.05) and Group IV (P≤0.05-0.01) on the 18 th , 43 rd , and 56 th days of the study. The haematocrit value of the blood of rabbits of Group II was respectively higher by 16.6% on the 56 th day; Group III -by 17.1%; 20.0%, and 22.8%, and in Group IV -by 26.4%; 29.4%, and 23.5% on the 18 th , 43 rd , and 56 th days of the study. The albumin content in the blood of rabbits of Group I was higher by 4.1% on the 43 rd day; Group II -by 6.8%; 8.0%; 9.5%; Group III -by 6.1%; 4.6%; 9.5%; Group IV -by 4.5%; 2.7%; 7.3% on the 18 th , 43 rd, and 56 th days of the study, respectively. The content of total calcium in the blood of rabbits of Group II exceeded the control by 22.5% on day 43, the level of inorganic phosphorus in the blood of rabbits of Groups II, III, and IV was respectively higher by 5.8%, 5.0%, and 4.1% on the 56 th day of the study compared to the control

“…Moreover, significantly lower RBC values in pregnant Angora rabbits as compared to non-pregnant individuals were noted by Cetin et al (2009). A similar phenomenon was observed by Sukar et al (2020) and AL-Eissa (2011). The reticulocyte count significantly increased during organogenesis and decreased thereafter.…”

The analysis of haematological parameters is an important element of the assessment of the physiological condition of animals. Haematological parameters may change both under the influence of various external factors, and in the course of normal pregnancy, which has been found in various species of mammals, including rabbits. Our study showed statistically significant (p<0.05) changes in basic haematological parameters: RBC (decrease; 5.87±0.48 at day 15 vs. 5.42±0.32 T/L at day 26), MCH (increase; 1.35±0.04 before matching vs. 1.41±0.03 fmol at day 26), RDW (decrease; 15.77±1.80 at day 15 vs. 14.27±1.57% at day 26) MPV (increase; 5.17±0.31 at day 15 vs. 5.92±0.70 fL at day 26), WBC (decrease; 8.60±2.57 at day 15 vs. 4.94±0.88 G/L at day 26) and PLT (decrease; 398.17±91.67 before matching vs. 271.67±61.72 G/L at day 26) in Termond White rabbits and RBC (decrease; 6.18±0.68 before matching vs. 5.68±0.54 T/L at day 26), Hb (decrease; 8.00±0.90 before matching vs. 7.32±0.71 mmol/L at day 26), MCH (decrease; 1.32±0.05 at day 15 vs. 1.29±0.04 fmol at day 26) and WBC (decrease; 9.62±1.81 before matching vs. 5.85±2.23 G/L at day 26 as well as 9.58±2.35 at day 15 vs. 5.85±2.23 G/L at day 26) in Popielno White rabbits. Moreover, in the Popielno White rabbits we recorded a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the percentage of irregular erythrocytes at the end of pregnancy (11.00±10.02 at day 15 vs. 3.00±4.94 at day 26). The changes appear to be physiological but should be considered in studies using rabbits as model organisms.
