Publisher: Universitatea de Stat din Moldova Heat stress is a major challenge and is one of the main environmental stressors with substantial economic losses in the rabbit industry. Rabbits are more sensitive to heat stress, compared to other agricultural animals, because they have few sweat glands, and their body is covered with thick fur. Heat stress negatively influences the health of rabbits, their reproductive properties, growth and productivity, characteristics of rabbit products, antioxidant properties, immune response, histomorphology and intestinal microbiota. Currently, one of the real strategies for mitigating the unfavorable influences of heat stress can be the use of nutraceuticals with targeted properties in improving the development of the intestinal microbiota, enhancing antioxidant properties, stimulating the immune system, increasing the productivity and resistance of the rabbit's body to diseases, in the physiological maintenance of the chemical composition and biophysical characteristics of rabbit products. This article summarizes the recent information on the negative impact of increased temperatures on rabbits and the advantages of heat stress mitigation strategies.
