| Abstract | ||||
| The present work was conducted on 14 of local breed rabbits as well as on 12 New Zealand White rabbits. After preparing the specimens, different methods and techniques were conducted in a trial to produce clean bony specimens. The most suitable method used in the present investigation was cleaning by Dermestid Beetles then degreasing and bleaching using hydrogen peroxide. All characteristic features of the various parts of the axial skeleton in the rabbit were described and dis- cussed with those recorded by other authors having performed earlier studies on rabbits and cats. Nomenclature in this thesis was adopt- ed according to Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (2005). | ||||
