| Abstract | We studied the resistance of laboratory mice to complete food starvation and the possibility of using the unloading method in breeding laboratory animals. The use of one- and two-day unloading periods positively affected the duration of the reproductive period of starving mice. In mice with two unloading days, reproduction continued with an average for 22.3 months, that is, about two years. This is 5.5 times more than in the control group, where the duration of the reproductive period was only 4 months, that is, less than six months. Positive changes were also obtained in terms of the life expectancy of experimental animals. Individual animals in the group with two hungry days a week lived more than 1050 days and on average 28.9 months. The life expectancy of mice of the control group in females, on average, was 563, and in males 604 days, which is 50% less than the life expectancy of mice in the experimental group. The use of one and two fasting days per week violates the reproductive cycle of females and the insemination ability of males. |
