Dystocia is not a common problem in rabbits, but when seen it is usually caused by obesity, a large fetus (particularly in small litters), or malpresentation. Infertility can be caused by the following factors: obesity; nutritional deficiencies; metritis; high environmental temperatures (>29~ poor lighting (low intensity or <10 hours/day); disease (eg, respiratory infection, skin mites, gastrointestinal disease, cystic ovaries); overcrowding; aged boars or sows; and mechanical impediments (eg, sawdust or the waxy secretion boars accumulate in their groin and scrotal regions). It is caused by the energy requirements of the last stages of gestation and of increasing lactation, particularly in primiparous obese sows that become anorexic for any reason (eg, any stress or disease) or who have a low-energy diet in this critical month.	./cache/cord-305365-50uojtet.txt	./txt/cord-305365-50uojtet.txt
