Physiological properties of the rabbits body to heat stress

Abstract

The current study investigated the effect of low temperature on the physiological indicators of the rabbits body. In the pre-experimental period, the animals were adapted to new maintenance conditions within 30 days, after the book followed the experimental periods I and II within 30 days with the application of low temperatures of a moderate stressogenic intensity 0-3 oC and +6-8 oC. Throughout the experimental period, the animals were monitored through daily clinical examination. The results obtained of the study denote that the body temperature in rabbits in all pre- and experimental periods is within the limits of the physiological norm, which denotes about the maintenance of homeostasis through various mechanisms of regulation.
