Abstract This work has been carried out to investigate the effect of i/m injection in two different doses of boldenone undecylenate on hematological, some biochemical, immunological, histological and reproductive parameters. Boldenone undecylenate induced a significant increase in RBCs, PCV%, platelets count. In addition, significant increase in ALT, AST activity levels, urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, estradiol level meanwhile, testosterone and antibodies titre significantly decreased in both treated groups. Also, a significant adverse effect on most semen parameters as significant decrease in mass, individual motility, motility index values, packed semen volume (PSV), live sperm percentage and significant increase in the number of morphological abnormal sperms, testes size and concentrations of testosterone in serum were observed in boldenone treated animals. Discontinuation of boldenone administration reversed some of these adverse effect on semen parameters. abnormal histopathological alteration in kidneys, liver, testes and prostate were recorded. |
