This experiment was carried out to develop a chemical castration with a single intratesticular injection of silver nitrate solution in domestic rabbits. A total of 44 bucks of 4 to 5 months old were alloted at random into the following 4 groups: 9 bucks for controls, 6 bucks for 0.3ml injection of 1% AgNO3, 14 bucks for 0.5ml injection of 1% AgNO3 and 15 bucks for 0.5ml injection of 5% AgNO3. Changes in body weight, testicular width in scrotum weight and histology of testis at necropsy, blood cell counts and plasma levels of testosterone of the buck were measured for 4 weeks after treatment
