Aims: The present study was conducted to clarify the effect of Kemzyme or Bentonite and their mix
as feed additives on the main semen characteristics, testicular enzyme markers, plasma testosterone
level and fertility indices of bucks.
Study Design: Twenty- four mature male New Zealand White bucks were equally divided into four
groups (6 in each). The first group was the control group (C) the animals were kept untreated and
were fed the basal diet without additives. The second group (K) was supplemented with 0.1%
“Kemzyme”, a multi-enzyme blend of Kemin Agrifoods Europe, composed of cellulases, amylases,
proteases and lipases. The third group (B) the animals were supplemented with 2% sodium bentonite
[1] which purchased from (Morgan for chemicals - Egypt) while the fourth group (KB) was
supplemented with 0.1% Kemzyme plus 2% sodium bentonite. Doses of supplemented additives were
mixed with the basal ration pellets.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the experimental rabbitry of Physiology
Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cairo University. The treatment lasted for 10 weeks to
cover a complete spermatogenic cycle.
