Abstract

The p < /strong>resent study was carried out to evaluate the biogenetic differences among three breeds of rabbits (Baladi, Newzealand and Californian) and their crosses in the measurements of some serum enzymatic activities and some other organic and inorganic serum constituents. It was found that the activities of serum alkaline phosphatase, asp < /strong>artate aminotransferase and serum alanine aminotransferase enzymes were greatly influenced by breed differences. Total serum proteins, albumin, globulins, calcium, inorganic phosphorus and iron concentrations were also influenced by breed differences.
