The effect of water treated with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and chlorine on some hygienic and physiological parameters in the local rabbits

Drgham HY Al- Zwean

This study was conducted to evaluate the disinfection potency of KMnO4 or chlorine in treated water on some hygienic and physiological parameters of local male rabbits, thirty – two males randomly divided into four groups: first group (free chlorine water) negative control, second(tap water) positive control, third(KMnO4 1ppm), and fourth ((KMnO4 2ppm). Blood samples were taken and serums were obtained. The results revealed that the parameters (Hb: 17.76 g/dl, PCV%: 42.69, total protein: 7.02 g/dl, albumin: 4.86 g/dl, and globulin: 2.86 g/dl) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the tap water group as compared with the other groups. Whereas, the levels of the ALT (39.93 IU/L), AST (25.94 IU/L), and ALP (30.31 IU/L) were significantly (P<0.05) lower in the tap water group as compared with other groups. In conclusion: This study was confirmed the validity of tap water for animals public health.
