[EN] About 80 participants took part at the 22nd Hungarian Conference on Rabbit Production at Kaposvár, organized by the University of Kaposvár, the Hungarian Branch of the WRSA, the Rabbit Production Board and the Agribrands Europe Hungary Inc. This is the largest and most popular event of the rabbit breeders in Hungary. 18 papers were presented by senior and young scientists. The topic of the papers covered all fields of rabbit production (production, housing and welfare, reproduction, genetics, nutrition, pathology). Full papers are available from the organizer ([email protected]) on request.(2011). ABSTRACTS OF THE 22nd HUNGARY CONFERENCE ON RABBIT PRODUCTION.

XXXV Symposium de Cunicultura de ASESCU

[EN] The annual Congress of the Spanish Association of Cuniculture (ASESCU) was held in Segovia (Castilla y León) on 27-28th May of 2010. The 35th edition was devoted to analyse the actual situation of the rabbit sector. It was presented an overview of challenges for the future of the Spanish rabbit farms, a review of the competitive factors that affect the rabbit production, and the management systems to ensure food safety in rabbit farms. Moreover, the Technology Platform for Sustainable Agriculture, and a summary of the actions for the promotion of the rabbit meat consumption carried out by the Spanish Rabbit Interprofessional (INTERCUN) were presented in two different conferences. Furthermore, a total of 20 communications were presented in five working sessions. Pathology session analysed a vaccine candidate against RHD, blood lymphocyte populations in multiparous does, the efficacy of Timilcosin, and serological test of blood samples collected in filter paper. Reproduction session studied a new method for artificial insemination, the effect of sperm DNA fragmentation on fecundation ratio, and the effect of development on seminal parameters in bucks. Management and Welfare session included references about the need to carrying technical-economic management in the farms and the link between cage height and welfare. Nutrition session analysed feeding costs, the effect of birth weight and rearing diet on the reproduction of does, the effect of feeding restriction on the productive and pathological parameters of fattening rabbits, the use of barley and lucerne hay on performance of growing rabbits, the effect of dietary short-chain organic acids on performance of growing rabbits, and the influence of a liquid alimentary supplement on fattening rabbits. Morphophysiology and Body Composition session studied intestinal barrier mechanisms and bone content of wild rabbit carcass.(2011). XXXV Symposium de Cunicultura de ASESCU.

ABSTRACTS OF THE GIORNATE DI CONIGLICOLTURA ASIC 2009, FORLÌ, ITALY, APRIL 2-3, 2009

[EN] The third edition of the Giornate di Coniglicoltura ASIC 2009 (Italian Rabbit Days), product of the collaboration between ASIC (Italian Rabbit Scientific Association), Avitalia (Italian Poultry and Rabbit Producers Association), ASPA (Animal Production Scientific Association) and Forlì Fair was held in Forlì at 2-3 April 2009. The first day of the congress was focused on a Round Table entitled Biosecurity and welfare in rabbit farming . During the second day it were presented three main lectures: Possibilities to reduce the feed conversion in rabbit production by L. Maertens, Role of type of fibre on intestinal microbiota and performance in rabbits by J. García, M. Gómez-Conde, A.Pérez de Rozas, I. Badiola, M.J. Villamide, C. de Blas, R. Carabaño, The relationship between housing systems and animal welfare by Zs. Szendro. Moreover, sessions of oral communications on Reproduction and Genetics, Nutrition and Physiology, Management and Meat Quality, and Pathology were held. A Poster Session was through the two days. The congress was attended by about 80 participants, including researchers from Spain, Belgium, Greece and The Netherlands. A total of 3 main lectures, 11 oral communications and 9 posters were presented. Following are reported the abstracts of all contributions(2009).

Abstracts of the XXXIII Symposium of ASESCU: Calahorra, Spain, October 30 - 31, 2008

[EN] The annual Congress of the Spanish Association of Cuniculture (ASESCU) was held in Calahorra (La Rioja) on 30-31 st October of 2008. The 33 th edition was devoted to study different strategies to enhance the farm profitability. The high increment in the feeding and the low price of the meat have been the main responsible of the decrease in the profitability in the last 2 years. Different possibilities to reduce the feed conversion ratio (FCR) both in fatteners and females were discussed in two sessions. Furthermore, a total of 15 communications were presented in 5 working sessions: Meat quality in commercial or wild rabbits, Genetic and Reproduction, with a focus on new selection criteria and semen quality, Management and economy, with a study of the costs, Nutrition, with strategies to reduce mortality and Pathology, with references to different pathologies.(2008).
