Performance of rabbits in hot climate: a housing 'cooling system' for heat stress reduction

Crimella C., Heinzl E., Luzi F.

Observations were made of relative external and internal humidity and temperature. The life statistics of an intensive breeding unit in the Governorship of Sharqya (joint Italian-Egyptian project-dairy cattle and rabbit) were studied. The microclimatic conditions with and without the use of a 'Cooling system' were compared, and presented here are the resulting data (number of live births, monthly fertility and mortality rates).
