“…During heat stress, liver enzyme activities (AST and ALT) tend to rise, suggesting some liver damage in mammals and birds (Faisal et al, 2008). RJ treatments caused a gradually and significant (P<0.05) reduction in both AST and ALT enzymes activities, and this effect reveals an improvement in liver function.…”

To alleviate the deleterious effect of heat stress during summer conditions on male rabbits' reproduction, 40 V Line adult rabbit bucks (on av. 8 mo old) were divided into 4 experimental groups and exposed to temperatures ranging from 23 to 36°C. Bucks in the 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th group were supplemented with 0, 50, 100 or 150 mg of Chinese royal jelly (RJ)/kg twice per week, respectively, over a 20-wk period. Semen quality and blood biochemical constituents were evaluated. RJ at any dose exhibited a significant increase (P<0.05) in rabbits' sperm concentration, total sperm output, sperm motility, live sperm and normal sperm compared to the untreated controls. Plasma total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose and high density lipids (HDL) concentrations were significantly (P<0.05) boosted in the RJ groups compared to the controls. In contrast, RJ treatment resulted in a significant (P<0.05) reduction in plasma total lipids, triglycerides, cholesterol and low density lipids (LDL) concentrations. Treatment with RJ significantly boosted (P<0.05) testosterone concentration in the RJ groups to reach 110, 120 and 128%, respectively, of the control group. Improved kidney and liver functions were observed in the RJ bucks groups where plasma creatinine, urea concentrations, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase enzyme activities were significantly (P<0.05) decreased by RJ treatments. Treating bucks subjected to heat stress by different RJ doses increased (P<0.05) total antioxidant capacity to 106, 111 and 115% of basal, but significantly reduced (P<0.05) malondialdehyde and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances compared to the untreated. It was concluded that Chinese royal jelly supplementation for heat-stressed male rabbits can counteract summer infertility and improve their physiological status.

“…Final body weight and body weight changes were significantly (P< 0.05) increased in the does of T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 groups as compared to the does of control group (Table 5). This increase in final body weight and body weight changes in the does exposed to heat shock exposure during growth period (T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) might attributed to enhance thermo-tolerance of doe rabbits that would face severe heat stress in advanced or later ages and may be reversed on increased body weight during exposure to heat stress conditions (Faisal et al, 2008;El-Badry et al, 2009;Star et al, 2009;Zulkifli et al, 2009;El-Moniary et al, 2010;Nagwa et al, 2012;Morsy, 2013 andMorsy, 2018). T1 = control, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 = rabbits were exposed to heat shock exposure at 3 days, at 25 days of age, at 2 months of age, at 3 days + 25 days of age and at 3 days + 25 days + 2 months of age, respectively, IBW = initial body weight, FBW = final body weight, BWC = body weight change.…”

“…Alanine transaminase concentration decreased (P< 0.05) in the rabbits of T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 groups (11.9, 12.5, 14.4, 17.1 and 17.7 %, respectively) as compared to the rabbits of T1 (control group). This increase of liver enzyme in the rabbits of T1 might indicate that rabbits were not capable to defeat the heat stress conditions and hence led to adverse effect on liver function (Faisal et al, 2008). Meanwhile, using early heat shock programs and release HSP70 might cause the reductions in the severity of histopathological degeneration in the liver which may occur resulting from exposure of rabbits to severe heat stress (Okolie and Ivoanya, 2003).…”

“…This improvement in productive traits might be attributed to application of heat exposure programs (Franco-Jimenez et al, 2007;Emam, 2013 andMorsy, 2018). Heat shock exposure programs at early ages might enhance thermo-tolerance of doe rabbits for facing severe heat stress in later ages (Faisal et al, 2008;El-Badry et al, 2009;Zulkifli et al, 2009;El-Moniary et al, 2010;Nagwa et al, 2012 andMorsy, 2013). So, increase of HSP70 expression might suggesting that the proteins involved in the stress caused by heat shock exposure in the does that play important role in protecting stressed cells and reversing disorders caused by stress (Li and Werb, 1982;Emam, 2013) and hence it reflected on improvement of productive performance of doe rabbits (Abd El-Kafy, 2006).…”

“…Many authors reported 25-75 % increase of mortality rate in rabbits reared under hot weather conditions of Egypt and may be attributed this higher percentage to inability of regulate body temperature under heat stress conditions (Nagwa et al, 2005;Morsy, 2007 andMorsy et al, 2011). Currently, heat shock exposure programs during earlier age are alternative practice to increase thermo-tolerance and acclimate rabbits to heat stress conditions which led to minimize heat-related mortality, enhance productive and reproductive performance, feed conversion and enhance immune responses (Yalcin et al, 2001;De Basilio et al, 2003;Rahimi, 2005;Hanan, 2006;Faisal et al, 2008;El-Badry et al, 2009;Star et al, 2009;Zulkifli et al, 2009;El-Moniary et al, 2010;Nagwa et al, 2012;Emam, 2013;Morsy, 2013 andMorsy, 2018). Heat Shock Proteins (HSP's) have been noticed in every cell type and tissues.…”

This study aimed to apply early heat shock exposure programs for releasing HSP70 gene expression to improve production of rabbits reared under hot desert conditions at Egypt. 120 Hi-Plus rabbits, one-day old were randomly divided into six equal treatments (20 rabbits/ treatment), namely T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6. T1 served as control. The rabbits of second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth treatments were exposed to heat shock (36±1 °C for 3 hours from 12:00 -15:00 for three successive days). Rabbits of T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were exposed to heat shock at 3, 25, 60, 3+25 and 3+25+60 days of age, respectively. HSP70 expression and tri-iodothyronine hormone in the rabbits of T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were significantly increased. Rectal and fur temperatures, respiration rate, alanine transaminase, corticosterone hormone levels and overall mortality rate significantly decreased in the rabbits exposed to heat shock programs. Red blood cells count, packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentration increased in the rabbits of T2, T3 and T4. Total protein and globulin concentrations increased in the rabbits of T5 when compared to the rabbits of T1, T2 and T6. However, rabbits of T2 and T4 showed an increase in total antioxidant capacity when compared to the rabbits of T1. Conception rate was higher in the does of T5 than that in T3, T4 and T6. Litter traits, productive efficiency index, feed conversion and cost of feeding improved in the rabbits exposed to heat shock programs. In conclusion, applying heat shock exposure programs of rabbits especially T3 treatment, might increase HSP70 gene expression, this led to enhance immunity responses and production under severe heat stress conditions.
