Abstract
Forty-four New Zealand White (NZW) and Baladi black (BB) rabbit bucks of 8 months old were used in this study during two climate conditions. Twelve NZW and 10 BB rabbits were used in hot climatic conditions (May-October 2003) and 12 NZW and 10 BB rabbits were used in mild climatic conditions (November-April 2004), respectively. In each period, bucks in each breed were divided into two equal groups according to the housing system. The first group was raised in semi-closed rabbitry and the second was housed in an open rabbitry under shed. The estimated temperature-humidity index values indicated that exposure of rabbits to very severe heat stress under semi-closed building while those raised under shed were exposed to moderate heat stress during the hot period and absence of heat stress in the mildclimate period.
