Seventy two (72) sexed crossbred rabbits aged 6 months were used to determine the effect of ginger rhizome powder (GRP) supplementation on reproductive organ and serum sex hormonal characteristics of pubertal rabbits. The experimental rabbits were divided into 2 treatment groups comprising 36 males and 36 females. Each group was divided into 4 dietary treatments (BT , BT , BT and BT ) of 9 animals and replicated thrice with 3 animals 1 2 3 4 per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). The animals were fed formulated -1 diet containing 2900 Kcal ME kg and 18% crude protein supplemented with GRP at the rate -1 of 0, 5, 10 and 15 g kg feed respectively. Rabbits in each dietary group were fed 50gms of Guinea grass leaf meal containing 27.6% CF (dry matter basis) occasionally as additional fibre sources. Feed and water were offered ad libitum and the study lasted for 10 weeks. -1 -1 Testosterone values of BT (5.83 ng mL ) and BT (6.28 ng mL ) and follicle stimulating 2 4 -1 hormone (FSH) levels of BT (1.15 mIU mL ) were significantly influenced (p<0.05) by 3 ginger rhizome powder. Bucks on BT and BT had lower luteinizing hormone (LH) level 3 4 than the BT bucks. For the females, FSH and LH values ranged significantly (p<0.05) from 1 -1 -1 0.90 to 2.05 mIU mL and 0.90 to 3.15 mIU mL respectively. The 17â estradiol and -1 progesterone levels also ranged significantly (p<0.05) from 166.35 to 175.05 pg mL and -1 15.45 to 16.80 ng mL respectively. Ovarian weight of rabbit on BT was significantly 3 (p<0.05) higher than those on BT but similar to those on BT and BT treatments. It was 1 2 4 therefore concluded that the use of ginger rhizome powder in rabbit diets improved the weight of the ovary as well as enhances serum progesterone, estrogen and testosterone levels.
