The study was performed to find out the effect of chlorine and disinfection byproducts(DBPs) of chlorinated water in some hygienic and Physiological traits of malerabbits, this experiment was accomplished in animal research farm / Veterinary MedicineCollege, Baghdad University from 20th November 2017 up to 20th January 2018.Twentyeightmale rabbits were used at age of 3 month and randomly distributed equally in fourgroups(seven male) per group, body weight was considered as the following: Firstgroup(chlorine free water) as a control group, second group (tap water), thirdgroup(chlorine 3ppm), fourth group(chlorine 5ppm).All groups were daily fed onconcentrated diet(pellet 75gm/ head), Alfalfa and specific water for each group wereoffered freely. Blood samples were collected and serum samples were obtained at biweeklyintervals to measurement the hemoglobin concentration(Hb), Packed Cell Volume(PCV),malondialdehyde(MDA), glutathione, total protein, transaminase enzyme(AST,ALT),alkaline phosphate, bilirubin to detect hygienic and Physiological traits. Data werestatistically analyzed, the results of this study revealed the significant (P<0.05) andnonsignificant differences in some hygienic and Physiological traits among groups ofdifferent periods. Accordingly, it could be concluded from this study the effect of chlorineand it's disinfection by-products(DBPs) of chlorinated water lead to many changes in somehygienic and Physiological traits in male rabbits compare with tap water , so that waterquality had direct effect on hygienic and productive performance of the animals.
