“…Вченими визнана пряма залежність якості м'яса від добробуту кролів в періоди вирощування та підготовки і проведення забою (Składanowska-Baryza & Stanisz, 2019). На якісні показники кролятини впливає багато факторів, основними з яких є -склад раціонів, умови вирощування, годівлі, забою, переробки кролів (Okab et al, 2008;Dabbou et al, 2018;Duda et al, 2019;Fathi et al, 2019;Shevchik et al, 2019;Darmohray et al, 2019;Lesyk et al, 2020).…”

Recently, healthy food products, include rabbit meat, are becoming increasingly popular consumers. Given the large percentage of households producing rabbit meat, as well as the development of relevant enterprises, the issue of quality of rabbit meat obtained under various technological conditions is relevant. The research material was two groups of Californian breed rabbits: the first (I) in the amount of 32 animals from a small rabbit farm city, the second (II) in the amount of 60 animals from a rabbit breeding and processing enterprise in the Dnipro. The experience consisted of determining: technological features of the slaughter and primary processing of rabbits, meat production and quality characteristics of rabbit meat, as well as slaughter veterinary and sanitary examination and histomorphological research. The general patterns of slaughter and primary processing of rabbits of both groups were generally similar and consistent with the requirements. The differences are defined in the methods of stunning, bleeding, toilet carcasses and preparing them for storage. A quick and effective method of bleeding rabbits of group II led to blood contamination of the skins, while in group I the skins remained clean. The dressing out percentage of rabbit backyard slaughter was 6.2 % higher (P < 0.001) than at the enterprise, and, conversely, the loss of carcass meat juice after cooling was 3.24 % less (P < 0.01) in production than in the small farm. The decrease in meat pH at the extreme minimum values per day after slaughter in the 1st group was more intense than in the 2nd group: 5.72 and 5.93 (P <0.001), respectively. The influence of the conditions for the production of rabbit meat on the moisture and protein content in meat was not revealed. The pathological changes common to both groups of rabbits were characterized by the detection of hematomas, subcutaneous abscesses in carcasses (9.4 % and 5.0 % of cases), hepatic coccidiosis (12.5 % and 18.3 %). A significant difference was found in pathological changes in the lungs: the incidence of hemoaspiration of the lungs of rabbit slaughter was 16.5 times higher than that of rabbits slaughtered under production conditions.

The article presents the data of a preclinical test of a means for the treatment of cysticercosis in rabbits by intra-gastric administration to white mice. Cysticercus pisiformis is a disease caused by ingestion of eggs of Taenia pisiformis in food or water, a tapeworm that parasitizes the small intestine of dogs and other carnivores. As a result of the invasion, the body loses its ability to fully function, the resistance of the immune system to infectious diseases decreases. In order to avoid the spread of the disease, it is necessary to make a timely diagnosis. The obtained data can be used to take the necessary measures against infestations and are important to prevent the selective use of anti-parasitic agents, which can lead to anthelmintic resistance. The purpose of the work was to determine the parameters of chronic toxicity of the developed complex anti-parasitic agent for the treatment of rabbits for cysticercosis on white mice under experimental conditions. The animals of the experimental groups were given an aqueous mixture of 0.0002 dm3 of the drug containing the following doses of the drug daily for 12 days: 1/100 DL50 ‒ 16.80 mg/kg (I group); 1/50 DL50 ‒ 33.58 mg/kg (II group); 1/25 DL50 ‒ 67.18 mg/kg (III group). On the next day after the last administration of the drug, on mice, under the condition of light ether narcosis, blood samples were taken for morphological and biochemical studies. The agent for the treatment of cysticercosis in rabbits, at doses of 1/50 DL50 and 1/25 DL50, resulted in a slight decrease in hemoglobin content and erythrocyte count compared to the control, but it did not suppress bone marrow erythropoiesis in laboratory animals. A decrease in the number of lymphocytes and a slight increase in the level of neutrophils were recorded, which indicates the irritating effect of increased doses of the active substance of the drug. According to the classification of chemical substances by degree of danger (DST 12.1.007–76), it belongs to the class of "moderately toxic substances".

“…Information on the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in rabbits in the south of Ukraine is limited and applies only to certain diseases (Duda et al, 2018;Bogach et al, 2020). Existing information contributes to a better understanding of the epidemiology of intestinal parasitic diseases and can be used to develop science-based measures to combat and prevent invasion diseases.…”

Endoparasites of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) in Southern Ukraine

One of the main tasks of ecological parasitology at the present stage is to establish patterns of spread of invasive diseases of animals in the environment through a thorough epidemiological examination, as well as to determine the main directions and factors of spread of parasites in Ukraine. Among the many pathogens, endoparasites play a major role in a number of diseases in rabbits with increased morbidity and mortality. In the body of both wild and domestic rabbits several species of parasites that form a parasitocenosis can be localized. The latter have a pathogenic effect on organs and tissues, leading to reduced weight gain, premature slaughter and even mortality. The prevalence of endoparasitoses was studied in weaned rabbits 60 days of age, 120 days of age at fattening, 180 days of age – mating age and adults of 320 days of age to determine the extensiveness and intensity of the dominant invasion. A total of 720 head was studied, 180 animals from each age group. Three species of nematodes were recorded in the rabbits: Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (Zeder, 1800), Nematodirus leporis (Ransom, 1907) and Passalurus ambiguus (Rudolphi, 1819); the cestode Taenia pisiformis (Bloch, 1780); three species of Emeria: Eimeria stiedae (Lindermann, 1865), which parasitizes in the bile ducts of the liver and gallbladder, E. magna (Perard, 1925) and E. media (Kessel, 1929) – in the epithelial cells of the intestine. The prevalence of the infestation depends on the age of the animals. According to the data obtained, eimeriosis was one of the main parasitic diseases of the rabbits. Dominant invasions of Eimeria in the intestines of 60-day-old rabbits were found in the studied animals, their extensiveness reached 19.4%, while the spread of hepatic Eimeria was registered in 13.3% of the examined rabbits. The total infestation of weaned rabbits with helminths was 22.2%, in rabbits for fattening – 26.7%, and in rabbits of mating age and adults – 20.0% and 20.6%, respectively. Global climate change will change the distribution and dynamics of soil-borne helminthiases, but host immunity may also affect host-parasite interactions. Subsequent studies will be aimed at elucidating the effect of mono and mixed invasions on the body of rabbits. Updated data on helminthiasis will expand the screening strategy to maintain rabbit health and reduce economic losses.
