Abstract :
Gossypol, a compound found in cottonseed, inhibits rabbit reproductive functions including spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and seminal fluid. Understanding gossypol's impact on rabbit breeding is important in animal husbandry and can provide insight for other mammals, possibly humans. Strategies to improve gossypol's negative effects include dietary changes, antioxidants, and breeding healthier cultivars. Understanding this matter better improves animal welfare and productivity in rabbit production.
