Abstract

In clinical examination of rabbits, the temperature is usually recorded with a digital thermometer introduced rectally, an invasive procedure that could cause handling stress. The aim of this study was to assess body temperature using infrared thermography (IRT) in four areas of the rabbit’s anatomy: eye (ETT), outer ear (OETT), inner ear (IETT) and nose (NTT), and then validate it as an alternative measure to rectal temperature (RT) assessed with a conventional thermometer. Temperature samples were taken twice a week from 48 weaned rabbits of Spanish Common Rabbit breed during a 38-d fattening period. The factors considered were: doe from which the rabbits came (8 does), weeks of fattening period (4 to 5 wk), batch (3 periods of the year: April-May, June-July and January-February) and group size (cages with 1 to 7 rabbits). On average, the results were an RT of 38.48±0.02 °C; ETT of 37.31±0.05 °C; OETT of 29.09±0.26°C; IETT of 30.53±0.251 °C, and NTT of 33.29±0.11 °C (mean±se). Moderate, statistically significant positive correlations (PP

用常规体温计测得的育肥兔直肠温度与红外热像仪测得的几个身体部位温度的关系。不同环境因素的影响

在对家兔的临床检查中，温度通常是通过直肠插入的数字温度计记录的，这是一种可能导致处理压力的侵入性程序。本研究的目的是利用红外热像仪(IRT)评估兔的四个解剖区域:眼睛(ETT)、外耳(OETT)、内耳(IETT)和鼻子(NTT)的体温，然后验证其作为传统温度计评估直肠温度(RT)的替代测量方法。在38 d育肥期，对48只断奶的西班牙普通兔进行温度采集，每周2次。考虑的因素有:母兔(8只)、育肥周数(4 ~ 5周)、批次(一年中的4 ~ 5月、6 ~ 7月和1 ~ 2月3个时间段)和组数(1 ~ 7只)。平均RT为38.48±0.02°C;ETT为37.31±0.05℃;OETT为29.09±0.26°C;IETT为30.53±0.251°C, NTT为33.29±0.11°C(平均值±se)。中度的、统计学上显著的正相关(PP

期刊介绍： World Rabbit Science is the official journal of the World Rabbit Science Association (WRSA). One of the main objectives of the WRSA is to encourage communication and collaboration among individuals and organisations associated with rabbit production and rabbit science in general. Subject areas include breeding, genetics, production, management, environment, health, nutrition, physiology, reproduction, behaviour, welfare, immunology, molecular biology, metabolism, processing and products. World Rabbit Science is the only international peer-reviewed journal included in the ISI Thomson list dedicated to publish original research in the field of rabbit science. Papers or reviews of the literature submitted to World Rabbit Science must not have been published previously in an international refereed scientific journal. Previous presentations at a scientific meeting, field day reports or similar documents can be published in World Rabbit Science, but they will be also subjected to the peer-review process. World Rabbit Science will publish papers of international relevance including original research articles, descriptions of novel techniques, contemporaryreviews and meta-analyses. Short communications will only accepted in special cases where, in the Editor''s judgement, the contents are exceptionally exciting, novel or timely. Proceedings of rabbit scientific meetings and conference reports will be considered for special issues. World Rabbit Science is published in English four times a year in a single volume. Authors may publish in World Rabbit Science regardless of the membership in the World Rabbit Science Association, even if joining the WRSA is encouraged. Views expressed in papers published in World Rabbit Science represent the opinion of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the WRSA or the Editor-in-Chief.
