Popis:	In the summer season, the harmful effects of high ambient temperatures on rabbit productivity have attained global interest. Therefore, the use of new nutritional strategies to improve heat tolerance in rabbits has become highly needed. In the current experiment, the effect of the addition of L-carnitine (LC) to normal (NE) or high-energy (HE) diets of growing rabbits reared under summer conditions on their productive performance, physiological indicators, and carcass characteristics was assessed. For this purpose, a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was used with two dietary levels of energy of 10.00 and 11.22 MJ kg
