环境丰富是通过提供正常表达行为活动的机会来改善动物生活的环境,这反过来又对动物的福利和生产力有很大的影响。本研究的目的是调查使用不同的浓缩笼工具(橡胶地板,塑料色的球,和镜子)对兔子的生理学,生产力,胎体质量,行为,和福利。将84只断奶兔(V线)随机等分为4组,每个有7个重复(3只兔子/重复)。第1家兔组(T1)作为对照组,而第二组(T2)则富含橡胶地板。第三组(T3)富含塑料色的球,第4组(T4)用镜子丰富。生产性状,包括每周体重和饲料摄入量,以及屠体特征,被测量。根据参考文献的描述确定血液学参数和生化成分。此外,行为活动,比如走路,休息,喂养,喝酒,被观察到。根据结果,用塑料彩球和镜子丰富兔子笼子,提高了营销体重和饲料转化率。它还改善了胎体质量特性,如屠体重量和敷料百分比。T3和T4兔RBCS较高,Hb,和血细胞比容水平以及较低的WBCS水平。它们的总蛋白质也明显更高,球蛋白,葡萄糖,AST,和IgG值比其他治疗。此外,他们的皮质酮水平和恐惧反应显著降低.因此,建议使用塑料彩球和镜子进行兔子养殖,以提高生产率,行为,和福利。
Environmental enrichment is about improving the surroundings in which your animal lives by providing opportunities to express behavioral activity normally, which in turn has a great impact on the animal\'s welfare and productivity. The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of using different enrichment cage tools (a rubber floor, plastic-colored balls, and a mirror) on rabbits\' physiology, productivity, carcass quality, behavior, and welfare. A total of 84 weaned rabbits (V-line) were randomly and equally assigned to 4 groups, each with 7 replicates (3 rabbits/replicate). The 1st rabbit group (T1) served as a control, while the 2nd group (T2) was enriched with rubber floors. The 3rd group (T3) was enriched with plastic-colored balls, and the 4th group (T4) was enriched with mirrors. Productive traits, including the weekly body weight and feed intake, as well as the carcass characteristics, were measured. Hematological parameters and biochemical constituents were determined according to the reference\'s description. Furthermore, behavioral activities, such as walking, resting, feeding, and drinking, were observed. According to the results, enriching the rabbit cages with plastic-colored balls and mirrors improved the marketing body weight and feed conversion rate. It also improved carcass quality characteristics, such as the carcass weight and dressing percentage. The T3 and T4 rabbits had higher RBCS, Hb, and hematocrit levels as well as lower WBCS levels. They also had significantly higher total protein, globulin, glucose, AST, and IgG values than other treatments. In addition, they had significantly lower corticosterone levels and fear responses. Therefore, it is recommended to use plastic-colored balls and mirrors for rabbit farming for better productivity, behavior, and welfare.
