Housing and Rabbit Welfare in Breeding Does

Abstract: Animal welfare is a rising concern in livestock production and to assess the welfare state of an animal, it is needed to consider health, behaviour and emotions. Housing conditions and management normally impair animal welfare at different levels, so developing housing systems and management practices that imply a high level of animal welfare by preserving productive results is a need.

“…Midway through the pregnancy, blood plasma was isolated from another subsample using a digital centrifuge (T32c; Janetzki, Wallhausen, Germany) and centrifugation (5000 rpm for 20 min) "according to Erwan et al (2017;2020), then stored in Eppendorf tubes (1.5 mL) at 20°C for hormonal assay. Triiodothyronine (T3, ng/mL) and Progesterone (P4, ng/mL) hormone concentrations in blood plasma were measured using the radioimmunoassay method and commercial kits (Medical Technology, USA).…”
