10585 ÷ 730 = 14.5 human days = 1 Dutch Belted rabbit day
and
365 ÷ 14.5 = 25.17 Dutch Belted rabbit days = 1 human year
10585 ÷ 912.5 = 11.6 human days = 1 Polish rabbit day
and
365 ÷ 11.6 = 31.46 Polish rabbit days = 1 human year
Conclusions
Rabbits are indispensable for biomedical research with different strains finding specific application in
various experimentations. Considering the disparities in developmental, physiological and genetic
make ups of the commonly used laboratory rabbit strains, the present study separately relates the age of
individual strain with that of human at different life stages. Therefore, the study aids the selection of
specific laboratory rabbit age relating with corresponding human age, upon which the research out‐
come aims to be implemented.
