Abstract
The food intake of growing rats declined progressively with rising temperature. The food intakes of lactating rats kept at 21 and 27�0 increased throughout lactation. The intake of gestating rats kept at 34�0 decreased when they were returned to 34�0 after being allowed to litter at room temperature. Throughout lactation, the intakes of animals kept at 21 and 27�0 were greater than those of rats kept at 34�0.Keywords
