Research Progress on the Effects of Heat Stress on the Production Performance of Rabbits and Its Nutritional Regulation
With the rapid development of global warming and intensive breeding environments,heat stress has become a common problem in modern livestock and poultry production.Finding convenient,effective,and cost-efficient methods to alleviate heat stress is of great significance.Compared to other animals,rabbits have physiological characteristics such as fewer sweat gland,thicker fur,and difficulty in dissipating heat,which make them more sensitive to heat stress.Heat stress significantly damages the production and reproductive performance of rabbits,leading to substantial economic losses in the rabbit breeding industry.By adjusting the feed formula and incorporating vitamins,minerals,electrolytes,probiotics,and medicinal plants into the feed,it is possible to mitigate the negative impacts of heat stress on rabbits to some extent and improve productivity.This article reviews the effects of heat stress on the growth and reproductive performance of rabbits,as well as nutritional regulation measures to alleviate heat stress in rabbits.The aim is to provide a scientific reference for addressing the issue of heat stress in rabbits.
