ABSTRACT
The investigations were carried out on 24 rabbits divided into 3 groups: C
(control), fed a basal diet; H5, fed a diet with a 5% humic-fatty acid preparation;
H10, fed a diet with a 10% humic-fatty acid preparation. A lower total protein
content and γ-globulin fraction were observed in the H5 and H10 groups.
A higher albumin-globulin ratio was obtained in the serum of the experimental
H5 and H10 animals, which may suggest an immunological activation. The obtained
results indicate that using the humic-fatty acid additive in the rabbit feed
can positively influence on health status of these species.
Key words: rabbit, red blood cell indices, white blood cell, albumin-globulin ratio.
