Abstract

The purpose of the study is to characterize the study of the effect of adding silkworm larval extract to the diet of male rabbits on fertility and antioxidant status of sperm. It has been proven that the study of the effect of adding silkworm larvae extract to the diet of male rabbits on fertility and the antioxidant status of sperm is relevant and important, and there are a number of good reasons for this. It has been determined that increasing the antioxidant status of sperm is critical for ensuring high fertility, since oxidative stress is one of the main causes of sperm damage, which leads to a decrease in reproductive capacity. The bioactive components of silkworm larvae, which have the greatest impact on the antioxidant protection and sperm quality of male rabbits, have been characterized. It should be noted that silkworm larvae contain a unique set of bioactive substances, in particular amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which help improve the overall health of animals and their reproductive function. It should also be noted that there is potential to reduce the use of synthetic additives and drugs in livestock production. The use of natural ingredients, such as silkworm larvae extract, can reduce the negative impact on the environment and improve the quality of the final product. The economic importance of using silkworm larvae extract in the diet of male rabbits for farms is highlighted. Monitoring the fertility and antioxidant status of sperm is critical when breeding male rabbits, as these factors have a direct impact on reproductive success and the quality of the offspring. Future studies of the effects of silkworm larvae extract on sperm fertility and antioxidant status may expand understanding of the mechanisms underlying these processes and suggest new strategies to improve reproductive health in rabbits and other animals.
