ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of probiotic (Saccharoinyces cerevisiac) on semen and hematological characteristics of 18 growing rabbit bucks, aged 4 months. The animals were randomly assigned to 3 treatment levels of 0 g (control), 0.1 g and 0.16 g of yeast in a completely randomized design. The experiment was replicated three times with 2 bucks per replicate. Data on semen microbial count, haematological, biochemical, seminal and histological parameters were collected. For haematological parameters, T3 recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher eosinophils (6.67 x I03/mm3) and lower lymphocytes (63.33 x mm3) than Ti and T2, respectively. Biochemical analysis showed that TI (3.32 g/dl) and T3 (3.23 g/dl) were significantly (P><0.05) higher in albumin than T2 (2.93 g/dl) whereas T2 (2.25 g/dl) and T3 (2.65 g/dl) were significantly (P><0.05) higher in globulin than TI (1.92 gldl). T3 recorded significantly (P><0.05) higher alkaline phosphatase (73.33 g/dl) compared to T2 (63.18 g/dl) and Ti (47.83 g/dl). Seminal parameters revealed that sperm motility was significantly (P><0.05) higher in T3(78.33%)but T2 (68.33 %) compared favourably with TI (63.33 %). T3 recorded significantly (r><0.05) higher live sperm (86.67 %) than TI 71.67 %) and
