Article Abstract
Rabbit meat is an excellent source of high-quality proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, which can be further improved through various management, preslaughter, and post-slaughter interventions. Rabbit meat consumption is popular in certain regions of the world. The multidimensional role of rabbits as pet, pest, and laboratory animals, lack of proper knowledge among consumers towards the nutritive value of rabbit meat, animal welfare, and ethical issues, sustainable potential, undeveloped marketing, and processing chain, and price parity with available cheap meat and non-meat alternatives, are some constraints in the rabbit meat production. Increasing awareness of the nutritive value, positive health effects of rabbit meat consumption and production chain, development of processed meat products, and proper animal welfare compliance in rabbit production could improve consumer acceptance. The present manuscript reviewed various factors that affect the meat quality and consumer acceptance of rabbit meat for a more sustainable and viable source for global meat supply.

Insect products are attracting both scientific and commercial interest because of their high quality as food and feed, with insect farming having a low environmental impact and the potential to mitigate food-feed-fuel competition. Research on edible insects has primarily focused on their role as alternative protein sources, but the use of insect fat as feed offers a tool to modulate the fatty acid (FA) profile of animal-derived foods. In this review, we conducted a systematic literature search on the composition of insect fats and their effects in animal feeding trials.

Background: Foreign body ingestion is a common emergency in clinical practice. While the majority of cases are resolved following successful removal, rare and unexpected complications can arise, such as the spontaneous displacement of a foreign body during the procedure. This report describes a unique case where a foreign body initially lodged in the esophagus was dropped during the procedure, leading to aspiration and migration to the airway.

Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a critical determinant of meat quality in rabbits, influencing attributes such as tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. A moderate increase in IMF content is associated with enhanced meat quality. In this study, we evaluated the growth performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality traits of the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscles in Hycole and Rex rabbits across various growth stages.

The impacts of (LS), (PA), and (LC) on quality properties, protein and lipid oxidation, and microbial dynamics of pickled pepper rabbit meat during refrigerated storage (4 °C for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days) were investigated. The results showed that the addition of lactic acid bacteria bioprotective agents effectively reduced the pH of pickled pepper rabbit meat, inhibited protein and lipid oxidation, suppressed the growth and proliferation of spoilage bacteria, and maintained favorable textural characteristics. Among the tested strains, exhibited the most significant preservation effects throughout the storage period.
