Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies · 2014 · Vol. 2(4) · pp. 159–163

Abstract

The present study was aimed to know the reproductive effects of imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide on the gonads of male rabbits. In this context, a total of 30 male rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus, were randomly divided into three groups (ten rabbits per group) as two test groups and one group labeled as a control. 1/10th of LD50 imidacloprid was orally administrated in test group animals for 10 and 20 consecutive days. After treatment a highly significant decrease (P
