Abstract

The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of garlic and leek on rabbit productive and Reproductive performance. A total number of 63 growing V-line rabbits were randomly divided into seven groups which were fed diets containing 0.5, 1.0, 1.50% dried garlic and 0.5, 1.0, 1.5% dried leek (G4, G5, G6) and the control G7.                 The results showed that DM, OM, CP and NFE digestibility and DCP and TDN were improved by adding of dry leek.                 Dry garlic (G1, G2 and G3) groups had higher (P<0.05) values of serum total protein and globulin. Adding of garlic and leek caused an improvement in thyroidal hormones (T3, T4) and cholesterol levels in blood.                 Rabbit in G6 has the highest live body weight at 8-10 week while G5 was the highest at 11-13 week.  Litter weight and size at birth, after 7 days, after 14 days and after 21 days was higher in G1. Mortality rate was lowest in G5 treatment group..                 Adding of garlic and leek improved all semen quality parameters and blood sex hormones. Dressing percentage was not differed between groups.
