%X 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.
