At weaning 294 rabbits were allocated to 7 different treatments (42 rabbits/treatment). Rabbits of the control group (C) received a diet without any supplementation throughout the experiment (5-11 weeks of age). The other groups were fed diets containing 5% Spirulina (S), 3% Thyme (T) or both supplements (ST) for the whole trial (5-11 weeks; treatments S, T and ST), or for a part of the growing period (8-11 weeks; treatments C-S, C-T and C-ST). Colour parameters, pH, water holding capacity and drip loss were determined on fresh and stored Longissimus dorsi muscle of 5 rabbits/treatment. Spirulina- and Thyme-supplemented diets had a significant effect on redness and yellowness of Longissimus dorsi. Drip loss was significantly reduced in C-T and T groups that also showed the highest content of alpha-tocopherol and n - 3 fatty acids content and the lower lipid oxidation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB - The effect of early handling has been of special interest as there is accumulating evidence that the experimenter might be considered as a predator by the animals, resulting in an undesirable level of fear in experimental studies. The aims of the present study were (a) a systematic investigation of the effect of regular daily handling on the fear reaction toward human beings both in domestic and in wild type rabbits, (b) to measure the long-term consequences of the handling, (c) to investigate whether the effective handling is linked to the nursing period, and (d) to see whether the effectivity of handling is confined to a sensitive period in the rabbit. We found that both domestic and wild rabbits are sensitive to human handling, especially when it is performed near the time of nursing. There was a sensitive period, the 1st week postpartum, in the effectiveness of handling. The animals handled in the sensitive period readily and repeatedly approached the observer, indicating the lack of fear. The effect of handling seemed long- lasting as handled females raised to adulthood were superior to nonhandled individuals in their breeding performance. These results indicate that reduced fear of humans can be achieved via handling and this might be a prerequisite for studying the unbiased behavior of animals via direct observation.

Megjegyzés-23480380 Megjegyzés-21983359 Z9: 18 WC: Developmental Biology; Psychology AB - We investigated the behavior toward humans in 4-week-old pups and adult rabbits handled daily at different times around the nursing visits during their 1st week of life. The timing of handling significantly influenced its efficiency in altering the subsequent behavior of rabbits. Animals handled around nursing readily approached a human hand when tested at weaning. Other pups, handled either 6, 12, or 18 hr after nursing, avoided the human hand. Our results show that there is a narrow sensitive period for successful stimulation, because only those rabbits that were handled within the interval starting 15 min before and ending 30 min after nursing became tame. The effect of early handling proved to be long-lasting because nonhandled rabbits tested as adults were afraid of humans and showed behavioral elements of avoidance, while the handled ones behaved fearlessly in the open field. The effect of handling proved to be specific toward humans because both handled and nonhandled animals showed avoidance toward a stuffed fox. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
