What is palpating used for in the context of breeding rabbits?

  1. Checking the health of kits

  2. Determining the sex of rabbits

  3. Feeling a doe's belly to see if she is pregnant

  4. Checking for tumors in rabbits

The correct answer is: Feeling a doe's belly to see if she is pregnant

"Palpating" is the act of using one's hands to examine or feel something, often used in a medical context. In rabbit breeding, palpating is used to feel the abdomen of a doe in order to determine if she is pregnant. Option A is incorrect because checking the health of kits can be done through other methods such as visual observation or vet check-ups. Option B is incorrect because determining the sex of rabbits can be done through external physical characteristics. Option D is incorrect because checking for tumors in rabbits would require a more thorough examination, such as X-rays or blood tests, not just a simple palpation.
