Abstract The [emnle genitAl sy~lern plays an important role in reproducuon of animals, Both rabbits and rats are famed for their reproductive cnpahllities, The nMbit is an impOi’lant animal for: meat and fLlr production. 11 In rabbits and white rats are used as laboratory animals for ex p~r; mental purposes ln med icine and biology. Rabbits and rats have a very high success rate for impregnation, due lathe lact that female rabbits and rats ovulate at the time of copulation (induced ovulation) breed fill Over the year. Tile gestation cycle is short ill comparison with other mammals with averages 31 days 1\11’ the rnbbil and 22 d,lyS for the rats .They can also breedImmediately after parturition, with a hlk~l”si•••es generally range between 4-12 in rahhils and 4-·g ill rats, They reach maturity rapidly at 4-5 months of age in rabbits IiI I” I\K~~~breeds and 50 +/~ 10 days in rats as mentioned by Merck (2nOO ) , The study or tlie anatomicaland histological features of the female genital system of rabbits and white rats are scarce in the available literature .So the present investigation was carried out in order to give the line detailsof the anatomy and histology of the female genital tract of both balady rabbus and the white rats which fBI a gap in the field of ’omporatlve Anatomy. It also helps other clinical branches and experimental studies applied on breeding of rabbits and white rats like the .mifLcial insemination, embryo transfer, and surgical operations cmcel”lling the female genital tract. |
