In noisy environment blood glucose increased by 20,83%, erythrocyte count – by 2,22%, total protein count by 3,14% (p<0,05), albumin count by 2,42% (p<0,05), globulin – by 7,46%, but A/B ratio did not change a lot, although total leukocyte count was decreased by 18,83%. There was established a lower number of pups born in the rats’ nest, there were some cases of cannibalism. By evaluating rats’ welfare protocol, there was noticed a 1,00% change in animals’ fur, solid c...
