Abstract The purpose of this article is to overview the history of feeding rabbits with different types of animal fats, and to discuss their effects on rabbit performance and quality of their products. Other aspects of the inclusion of various animal fats in rabbit diets are also described. This article is based on the analysis of relevant scientific literature and presents animal fats fed to rabbits, such as beef tallow, butter, pork lard, poultry fat, fish oil, krill oil, oil extracted from insect larvae, mixtures of various animal fats, and mixtures of animal and vegetable fats. The reported papers describe the effect of fats on growth performance, lactation, rearing performance, meat quality, and health status of rabbits. It is notable that in many cases, various animal fats were often an integral part of numerous diets or were included in control diets. The presented information demonstrates that animal fat can be fed to rabbits at 2–4% of the diet without negative effects on reproductive performance, growth performance and quality of meat obtained. Rabbits were used as model animals in many studies in which fat was added to balance the diets and to increase their energy value, especially when investigating various cardiovascular and obesity-related diseases.

兔饲料中的动物脂肪——综述

摘要 本文的目的是概述用不同类型动物脂肪喂养兔子的历史，并讨论它们对兔子生产性能和产品质量的影响。还描述了在兔日粮中加入各种动物脂肪的其他方面。本文基于对相关科学文献的分析，介绍了喂养兔子的动物脂肪，如牛脂、黄油、猪油、家禽脂肪、鱼油、磷虾油、从昆虫幼虫中提取的油、各种动物脂肪的混合物，以及动物和植物脂肪的混合物。报道的论文描述了脂肪对兔子生长性能、泌乳、饲养性能、肉质和健康状况的影响。值得注意的是，在许多情况下，各种动物脂肪通常是许多饮食的组成部分或包含在对照饮食中。所提供的信息表明，可以将 2-4% 的动物脂肪喂给兔子，而不会对繁殖性能、生长性能和获得的肉质量产生负面影响。在许多研究中，兔子被用作模型动物，其中添加脂肪以平衡饮食并增加其能量值，尤其是在研究各种心血管和肥胖相关疾病时。
