Impact of Sodium and Potassium Ions in Identification of Second Generation of Offspring Gender in Rabbits

Impacts of sodium and potassium in diet to determine offspring gender in rabbits have investigated. Sex determination has scientific basis for prevention of genetic diseases in addition to social backgrounds.20 healthy rabbits chosen from the second generation of the previous experimental rabbits, were divided in to two groups in the rabbits male to female 1:1. The first group was Na and K, the second group was control unit without Na and K. It found that the delivered offsprings male to female ratio were 1.95:1and 1:1, for the first and second groups respectively. In addition, it found that rabbits fed with (Na, K) food yields maximum numbers of male offspring 65, while rabbits fed with normal food yields lowest numbers of male offspring 35
