Since the effect of environmental temperature on food utilisation in hares is not well known, we studied the relationship between temperature, hare daily feed intake and digestibility. Ten couple bred hares, ad libitum fed with a commercial pellet (crude protein 17% and crude fibre 21%) were monitored from April to June in Tuscany. The recorded temperature in this period changed from 8°C to 25°C. Results showwd that the highest temperatures reduce the daily intake and the apparent digestibility.

Abstract
Since the effect of environmental temperature on food utilisation in hares is not well known, we studied the relationship between temperature, hare daily feed intake and digestibility. Ten couple bred hares, ad libitum fed with a commercial pellet (crude protein 17% and crude fibre 21%) were monitored from April to June in Tuscany. The recorded temperature in this period changed from 8°C to 25°C. Results showwd that the highest temperatures reduce the daily intake and the apparent digestibility.File in questo prodotto:
