Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] Variations of some blood parameters in rabbits reared in different environmental conditions. At a commercial rabbit farm, the same breeding test was conducted, from weaning to end fattening, in cool and warm climate conditions, controlling growth, food consumption, characteristics of the cecal content and metabolic profile. Heat stress has induced changes in blood parameters that can only be partially correlated to the reported drop in ingestion. The most consistent relationships between characteristics of the cecal content and metabolic variations in conditions of thermal stress indicate a greater criticality of the characteristics of the diets in such situations.
