Abstract

This paper described meaning of accommodation hygiene on rabbit’s welfare. As known, rabbits are animals especially sensitive to factors from environment, because great demands are put on the rabbit production and reproduction. This fact can cause reduced natural resistance and increased susceptibility to the environmental factors, which could directly or indirectly have effect on them. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure quality accommodation, good microclimate conditions and medical care, when needed.
