Abstract

The 46th Congress of the Spanish Association of Cuniculture (ASESCU) was held in Pineda de Mar (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain) from 1st to 2nd June 2022, hosted by the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) and the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda of the Government of Catalonia. Four main guest lectures were given. The first explained the trends in the meat products market and the implications for the rabbit sector. Another presented an overview of rabbit farming in Catalonia. Moreover, another talk addressed the question of how much a rabbit farm pollutes. Finally, a fourth talk was addressed to the prudent use of antibiotics in rabbit farming in a context of reducing the use of antimicrobials. A round table was held on the demands of European legislation and citizens in terms of rabbit housing and welfare, with the participation of experts from Belgium, Italy and Spain. In addition, a total of 26 communications were presented in working sessions (genetics, nutrition, reproduction, and pathology and welfare) as oral communications and posters. The meeting was attended by almost 140 participants from several European and American countries. Abstracts of the contributions presented are reported below.
