Résumé


In this study, the effect of breed on haematological parameters of rabbits was investigated. A total of 36 rabbits (12 each of New Zealand White, Chinchilla, and Dutch breeds) were used in the research in a completely randomized design (CRD). The rabbits were housed in wooden hutches inside a well ventilated pen. They were caged based on breed and were provided with commercial feed, while clean drinking water was provided ad-libitum. Blood sample was collected and taken to the laboratory for analysis. Data collected on haematological parameters were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in SPSS version 21. Results revealed that breed had no significant (P>0.05) effect on haematological parameters of rabbits except in white blood cell with New Zealand White having higher value compared to Chinchilla and Dutch. This is an indication that New Zealand White rabbits have higher immunity than those of Chinchilla and Dutch.
