| Popis: | To study the effect of castration and testosterone replacement on the testosterone level of the New Zealand rabbit, 16 apparently healthy adult male rabbits were used. The animals were divided into four groups with each group having four rabbits. The first group served as the control group. The rabbits in the second group were unilaterally castrated, while those in the third group were bilaterally castrated.

There was a sharp significant (p |
