dc.description.abstract | Rabbits often experience stress when they perceive certain stimuli, such as handling. The
physiological response of animals to stress and temperament is associated with feeding efficiency,
with those with the least capacity to react to stress showing the highest performance. The aim of
this study was to evaluate the impact of stress due to heat (temperature-humidity index; THI) or
handling, assessed using infrared thermography, on the performance parameters of rabbits of a
Spanish Common breed. Thirty-nine rabbits were analyzed during a 38-d fattening period at two
times of the year: a cold period and a warm period. The rabbits’ stress due to handling was assessed
by the temperature difference taken in the inner ear, before and after being handled. The animals
were more productive in the cold season. Temperature-humidity index significantly influenced
average daily gain (ADG) and daily feed intake (DFI). Rabbits with higher levels of stress showed
higher ADG, DFI and feed conversion ratio (FCR) values. The greater the stress due to handling,
the less efficient the animals were. FCR increased with higher THI. It was concluded that changes
in animal welfare caused by the rabbits’ reactivity to both climatic and individual factors affect
animal productivity | es |
