This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of sex preselection by gradients methods using bovine serum albumin in rabbits. Artifical insemination was performed with sperm from the top and bottom layer of rabbit semen separated by bovine serum albumin gradients. Various characteristics of separated sperm, and the conception rate secondary sex ratio at artificial insemination with separated sperm were compared. The sperm from the bottom layer showed significantly high value in motility, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility as compared with control sperm and the sperm from the top layer. The conception rate of sperm from the bottom layer was higher than that of the top layer. But secondary sex ratio was not altered by this methods
