| SUMMARY Twenty eight weaned V-line rabbit bucks were divided randomly into four groups:group 1 (tap water without magnetizationas control), group 2 (magnetized tap water), group3 (well waterwithout magnetization) and group 4 (well water with magnetization). The experiment lasted for 11 weeks. Well water Salinitywas 4000 ppm and the strength of the magnet was 10000 Gauss. In the magnetized water groups, average daily gain, growth rate and feed conversion ratiowere increased while feed intake was decreased compared to thenon-magnetized water groups. Salinity significantly decreasedthe plasma levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), and glucose (GLU). Magnetization increased insignificantly both TP and GLU while, increased insignificantlyALB and globulin. In both tap water groups, magnetized water significantly decreased in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and creatinine (CRT) in the plasma. Magnetization of well water tended to decrease the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), ALP, Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), total bilirubin (T-Bill),CRT, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in rabbits by 10%, 25%, 24, 25%, 27%, 58%, and 31%,respectively.It could be concluded that using magnetization especially with salinity water decreases the adverse effect of salinity and improves water quality for growing rabbits. | ||||
