Abstract:
Some researchers have inferred that folic acid is necessary for reproduction and could enhance blood formation. Thus, a Completely Randomized Design Experiment (CRD) was conducted to evaluate the impact of oral administration of folic acid on the semen and haematological characteristics of New Zealand White rabbit bucks. The treatments designated treatment 1 (T1), treatment 2 (T2) and treatment 3 (T3) having 12 rabbits each were replicated 3 times with 4 rabbits per replicate.

Abstract:
Brazilian rabbit breeding plays an important social role through family farming. However, one of the challenges faced is the need for new genetic material from genetically improved rabbits. The artificial insemination (AI) technique in Brazil is restricted to the use of fresh or chilled semen. Hence, this is the first report of the use of frozen semen and live kits in Brazil and probably in Latin America. The aims were to evaluate the commercial viability of frozen rabbit semen in Brazil, ranging from cryopreservation to insemination. Three bucks and three rabbit does of Flemish giant rabbits
