Popis: | BACKGROUND Rex rabbits are important fur rabbits. Heat stress severely reduces the fur quality of Rex rabbits. The aim of this study was to experimentally investigate the effect of dietary vitamin A (VA) addition on hair follicle development and related signal pathways in Rex rabbits under heat stress. RESULTS In the experiment, 90 Rex rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group (20-25 °C, fed basic diet), heat stress group (30-34 °C, fed basic diet), and heat stress + VA group (20-25 °C, fed 12 000 IU/kg VA in addition to the basic diet). VA could significantly increase the hair follicle density (P |
