“…Under hot conditions, an animal's first reaction is to increase skin temperature by vasodilating its blood vessels in order to transfer more heat from the body's center to the skin. The overall averages of T3 and P4 in the current study are within the ranges reported by Sharaf et al (2021); Habeeb et al (2019). Rabbits that have higher T3 and P4 concentrations in 1 st model than those in 2 nd model are another evidence that model 1 had a worse internal condition than the others.…”

Concerns about animal welfare due to climate change are growing in the rabbit industry and determining an animal's welfare status is important. So, it is necessary to consider housing conditions as one of the main management criteria. The goal of this study was to examine the preference of rabbits under two housing models of various roofing materials. Twenty-four doses and 6 bucks in a total of NZW rabbits were used in this study. Thermos-respiratory, some physiological responses, and reproductive performance were evaluated as being impacted by seasonal variables during the course of one year of production in two styles of housing. These mostly differed in terms of roofing style, wood roof (1 st model), and single metal roof (2 nd model). The results confirmed that 1 st model accommodated more comfortable zone conditions in all seasons than the 2 nd one. Rabbit kept in the 1 st model showed the lowest values of rectal temperature and respiration rate and the highest values of hematocrit, hemoglobin, Triiodothyronine, and progesterone concentrations in comparison to the 2 nd model. In the second model, the drop in all reproductive examined characteristics was more pronounced. Does raised during spring showed the highest values of litter size and weight in comparison to those in summer and showed higher values of milk yield in winter than in summer. According to the results, it can be concluded that the wooden roof in the 1 st model provided a comfortable zone during razing ambient temperature that improved the reproductive performance of the rabbit.

“…Similarly, another research study showed that the use of turmeric extract reduced ear temperature and MDA levels, while increasing total antioxidant capacity in heat-stressed male rabbits, leading to improvements in heat tolerance, semen characteristics, and overall health [ 54 ]. In the same way, the addition of curcumin to the diet of female rabbits during the summer season in Egypt resulted in improved productive and reproductive parameters [ 55 ] ( Table 2 ).…”

Stress has brought about a variety of harmful impacts on different animals, leading to difficulties in the management of animal husbandry and aquaculture. Curcumin has been recognized as a potential component to ameliorate the adverse influence of animal stress induced by toxicity, inflammation, diseases, thermal effect, and so on. In detail, this compound is known to offer various outstanding functions, including antibacterial properties, antioxidant effects, immune response recovery, and behavioral restoration of animals under stress conditions. However, curcumin still has some limitations, owing to its low bioavailability. This review summarizes the latest updates on the regulatory effects of curcumin in terms of stress management in terrestrial, avian, and aquatic animals.

“…Rabbits have been crucial in addressing the lack of meat production. This is due to the rabbits' quick growth and reproduction rates, early maturing, improved feed consumption, short generation times, strong genetic selection potential, variety of food alternatives, confined essential area, and simplicity of raising, especially in developing nations (El Saidy et al, 2016;Habeeb et al, 2019). Because there is not enough feed available for the production of rabbits, efforts have been made to supplement animal feed with feed spices in order to boost the animals' nutritional value, growth rate, and feed efficiency while also reducing feeding expenses (El-Nomeary et al 2015 and.…”

In an eight-week experiment conducted throughout the months of January and February, 2023, the goal of this study was to determine how changing the diet of mature male rabbits to include clove oil affected their body's physiological processes and the quality of their sperm. In this study, 24 mature rabbit bucks that were 8 months old and weighed an average of 2.650 g in the first production year were used. In a final randomized plan, the bucks were randomly assigned to two experimental groups, each with twelve rabbits. Bucks served as the control group in the first group and were fed a commercial pelleted food without any supplements. Each buck in the second group received one milliliter of clove along with the daily diet requirement from commercial pellets. Every two weeks, values for weight gain, feed consumption, testosterone levels, blood constituents, libido, and semen quality were assessed. The findings demonstrated that including clove oil in the diet of bucks rabbits resulted in a significant (P<0.01) improvement in each of daily feed intake, daily weight gain, testosterone hormone, and γ-globulin and a significantly (P<0.01) reduced glucose, cholesterol fraction levels in comparison to the control group. Additionally, adding clove oil increased (P<0.01) the rabbit bucks' physical semen attributes values. It was determined that including clove oil in the diet of male rabbits improved physiological body processes, produced hypercholesterolemia, and raised the quality of the rabbits' sperm without having a negative impact on liver or kidney function.
