Abstract

Impact of calcium and magnesium in diet to determine offspring gender in rats has been investigated. Sex determination has scientific basis for prevention of genetic diseases in addition to social backgrounds. 20 healthy rats chosen from the second generation of the previous experimented rats were divided into two groups in the ratio male to female 1:5. The first group was Ca and Mg, the second group was control unit without Ca and Mg. It was found that the delivered offspring male to female ratio were 2.7:1 and 1:1 for the first and second groups respectively. Also, it was found that rats fed with (Ca, Mg) food yields maximum numbers of female offspring 73, while rats fed with normal food yields lowest numbers of female offspring 50.
