Bioclimatic mapping of Rio Grande do Sul state for animal and human thermal comfort

Abstract: ResumoO presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar o zoneamento bioclimático do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, a partir do índice de umidade e temperatura (ITU), para o conforto térmico de animais e do trabalhador rural. O estudo foi realizado para 27 municípios do estado. Os dados meteorológicos necessários para o cálculo do ITU foram obtidos no site do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia, referentes ao período compreendido entre 1961 e 1990. Foram utilizados os dados de temperatura máxima do ar (Tar max), temp… Show more

“…High air temperatures and humidity impact negatively livestock production and animal welfare [2], [3]. Pre-slaughter logistics exceed the boundaries of the farm, and it involves mostly animal transportation [7], [8]. The thermal environment inside the truck lead to a loss in live weight, especially in large animals during long distances [9].…”

“…A major problem that farmers and slaughterhouse plants face is to determine the alignment between the slaughterhouse plant capacities with the pre-slaughter logistics, to comply with several issues, including animal welfare [7], [10]. Several slaughterhouse plants adopt the pigs transportation at night, due to the incidence of high temperatures during the day [11].…”
