Testicular Parameters and Sperm Morphology of Chinchilla Rabbit Fed With Different Planes of Soymeal
The testicular parameters and sperm morphology were studied in twenty healthy Chinchilla breed bucks of rabbits fed with different planes of soybean meal. Their ages were between 6 to 10 months with their weights ranging from 1.4 to 1.9kg.The same quality of feeds was fed to each group throughout th...
