Abstract

Laboratory animals like rat (n=l0), guinea pig (n=a) and rabbit (n=l0) were selected for the study. The
reproductive organs and accessory glands were separated, weighed, homogenized and analysed for respective
levels of calcium and magnesium. The level of calcium and magnesium were not same in all tissues of same
animal species. H_igher levels of calcium were recorded from the secretions of corpus epididymis in rat and rabbit and from ventral prostrate glands of guinea pig. However, variable levels of magnesium were found in the
secretions of different organs of rat, rabbit and guinea pig.
