Abstract: ZIKA-fattening
rabbits in groups of 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 animals (5 rabbits/m2) have been
proved in 6 repetitions with all together 144 animals during the fattening
period of nine weeks in regard to their fattening performance, health and
behaviour. The aim was to find an optimal group size for fattening rabbits with
respect to animal welfare. The results show, that fattening performance and
health of the rabbits have not been influenced remarkably by group size,
whereas behaviour was different in so far, as the rabbits in groups of 16
showed a greater percentage of relaxed positions as well as a remarkable
smaller percentage of aggressive behaviour. Therefore the group with 16
fattening rabbits is that, which can be advised for the fattening of rabbits in
the Hohenheimer group housing.

NAL Call Number: QL55 A1L3
Abstract: The
recommendations for minimum floor area given in the European Convention for the
Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and other Scientific
Purposes (1986), as well as in the Publication on the Planning and Structure of
Animal Facilities for Institutes Performing Animal Experiments of the Society
for Laboratory Animal Science (GV-SOLAS 1989), are plotted in a double
logarithmic system in order to get an allometric function of recommended floor
area to body weight. Both recommendations correspond very well with the
so-called metabolic body weight seen at the allometric exponent of 0.73 and
0.70 respectively. Thus the recommendations in general attribute the floor
space according to the metabolic body weight of the animal. Nevertheless,
despite this general rule, some species are recommended less space than others
when measured on this allometric scale. Thus it must be questioned why, for
example, rabbits, chicken and pigs are recommended less space than other
species. The general allometric measure seems at least to be a good scale for
the comparison of recommended floor space, and for the discussion of
species-specific needs for more or less space.

Abstract: Investigations of
slatted floor keeping of rabbits in an air conditioned chamber with multigas
monitoring over a period of more than two month have shown that the average
values per week were on a low level between 575 and 685 ppm (carbon dioxide),
3.4 and 5.6 ppm (ammonia) resp. Concentration of ammonia reached in maximum
12.3 ppm for a short time. Nitrous oxide concentration was measured on a global
value (253 up to 317 ppb). A slight tendency of increasing CO2 and NH3 values
with the begin of light period--obviously related to increased locomotoric
activity--approximately was observed. In slatted floor keeping calculated
emission of ammonia was very low (0.23 gram per 500 kg an hour).

Abstract: Laboratory
rabbits kept in barren “traditional” cages tend to develop stereotypic
behaviours and bone deformities. We have used an alternative regime, housing
adult does as groups of four or five in floor pens (2.5-3 m2) supplied with
hiding places and bedding. High- and low-ranking members of each group were
identified, and their immunological status compared in terms of blood leucocyte
function (chemiluminescence and mitogen tests), complement activity, and
antibody production to soluble and cellular antigens. We found no evidence of
immunosuppression, either in groups of a “docile” breed (New Zealand White) or
Dutch crosses. These results, together with the animals’ general health and
ease of handling, lead us to conclude that group-housed does are suitable for
raising antisera and other purposes, provided that they are adequately
monitored.
