The influence of various ranges of dry cooling /average 22,1 mW/cm² - BCD and 60,2 aW/cm² - CD/ on the heat management have been studied in 15 rabbits. They were exposed to various ranges of temperature and air movement. The skin temperature at shorn and not shorn sites and heat flow were measured. The effect of cooling and air movement on skin temperature, thermal gradient and external thermoinsulation were calculated using statistical methods. It has been found that cooling, especially CD, clearly reduced the skin temperature, whereas the influence of air movement on skin temperature has been susceptible of various interpretations. Thermal gradients /skin temperature - air temperature/ increased as the cooling rlsed but their increase was higher at lower values of cooling /BCD/ than at higher values /CD/. The same relationship could be found in case of heat flow. The external insulation was dependet on cooling and at higher cooling values /CD/ it was lower than at lower values of cooling /BCD/. It proves that lower critical temperature for rabbits was exceeded when the experimental factor /CD/ appeared.
