Abstract: Objective To determine and comparative analysis of hematological parameters in WHBE rabbits, Japanese White rabbits and New Zealand White rabbits,and further reveal on hematological characteristics of WHBE rabbits. Methods Fourty in each of WHBE rabbits, Japanese White rabbits and New Zealand White rabbits,half male and female, the anticoagulant blood was sampled from the central artery of ear, and then hematological parameters indexes were determined by Bayer AD VIA 120 automatic blood analyzer. Results (1) Gender factor has significant influences on neutrophil, lymphocyte, MCH, MCHC and RDW m WHBE rabbits (P<0.05, P<0.01);(2) Leukocytes amounts was lower in WHBE rabbits than that of Japanese White rabbits (P<0.01),lymphocyte and hemoglobin were higher in WHBE rabbits than those of Japanese White rabbits and New Zealand White rabbits (P<0.01).Conclusion WHBE rabbit has its own special characteristics, also has its population characteristics in common, and the hematological parameters in WHBE rabbits were similar to those of human being.

Key words: WHBE rabbit, Japanese White rabbit, New Zealand White rabbit, Hematological parameter
