This study aimed to improve the reproductive performance by determined the physiological and biological reactions of doe rabbits under hot environmental conditions (summer season) by added highly concentrated nutritional supplement and using different housing models (three indoors housing models differed only in the roof and outdoors housing).

The bucks weighting 3000-3500 g and aging 6-7 months were used for mating, only. The animals were equally and randomly divided into four groups each (12 does + 3 bucks) for four housing models. Each groups were divided into 2 subgroups, first is control and second is treatment with 0.5ml/L/day Synertox compound.
