Effects of exposure to imidacloprid contaminated feed on the visceral organs of adult male rabbits ().

The best-known and often used systemic, broad-spectrum neonicotinoid pesticide is imidacloprid (IMI). This study was carried out on adult male rabbits (n = 12) to assess the residual effects of exposure to IMI-contaminated diet on the liver, lung, heart, and kidney. Pesticide-exposed rabbits (n = 6) received IMI contaminated green grass (Bildor® 0.

Effects of imidacloprid-contaminated feed exposure on spermatogenic cells and Leydig cells in testes of adult male rabbits (.

This research was undertaken to assess the results of repeated exposure to the insecticide; imidacloprid (IMI)-contaminated feed on testicular tissue, spermatogenic cell population, Leydig cell number, and sperm morphology in adult male rabbits (n = 24). The treatment groups received IMI (Bildor® 100 mg/L water spray on green grass)-contaminated green grass without wash (n = 8, not-washed-feed rabbit group) and after wash (n = 8, washed-feed rabbit group) once daily for two weeks on an alternate day basis. The rest of the rabbits, as control, received a normal pesticide-free standard feed.
