Detailed Explanation of Prevention and Treatment Techniques for Heatstroke in Rabbits
1. Etiology This disease mostly occurs in the hot summer weather, and is most common in wool rabbits. Domestic rabbits have underdeveloped sweat glands and dissipate body heat very slowly through the body surface. Wool rabbits whose wool has not been sheared have even more difficulty dissipating heat. When the external temperature is above 33°C, heat dissipation mainly relies on increasing respiratory rate to regulate body temperature. According to measurements, when the temperature reaches as high as 35°C, the respiratory rate of domestic rabbits surges from an average of more than 40 times per minute to more than 200 times. During high-temperature periods, if the rabbit hutch is poorly ventilated, overcrowded, or during long-distance transport, the body heat of wool rabbits cannot be dissipated in time, which will cause heatstroke.
