Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the effect of the using of anise seed oil, vitamin E and
selenium in some physiological traits of male New Zealand white rabbits. Twenty males were
used in this study at the age of six months; the animals were randomly divided into four groups
contain five rabbits in each group, where the first group was represented by a control without
any treatment. The second group was dosed with rabbits (200 mg anise seed oil / rabbit/ day),the third group was dosed with rabbits (400 mg anise seed oil / rabbit/ day) and the fourth group
was dosed with rabbits (vitamin E 250 mg/ kg + selenium 0.3 mg/ day) kg/ per day). The results
of the statistical analysis of the third group showed a more superiority (p≤0.05) in the total red
and white corpuscular count, hemoglobin and the volume of blood cells collected compared first
and second months of the experiment. About total platelets count, the superiority of the third
group was limited to the first month only. While the second and fourth treatment recorded high
significance (P≤0.05) in the total red and white corpuscular count, hemoglobin and the volume
of blood cells collected compared to the first treatment in the counting rates of these parameters
for the first and second months of the experiment.
