Bulg. J. Vet. Med. , 8 , No 4, 227 232. The induction of reciprocal translocations (RT) and the reproductive capacity in sexually mature male New Zealand White rabbits were followed out after external gamma irradiation within the dose range of 0.5 Gy 2.5 Gy. The analysis of results about the litter size in irradiated males, mated with non-irradiated females as a marker of their reproductive capacity, performed 30 days after the irradiation, showed a reduction with 20% and on the 40 th day by 46%. Spermatozoa, irradiated in post spermatogonial cell stages were tested within post irradiation days 10 and 40. The cytogenetical data of irradiated spermatogonia and the mutations at the stage spermatocyte in diakinesis metaphase I evidenced the presence of ring and chain quadrivalents, the incidence of RT being higher after irradiation at 2.5 Gy.Read More
