Períodos de estresse térmico durante o crescimento afetam negativamente o desempenho e o rendimento de carcaça de frango de corte

Abstract: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da exposição de frangos de corte por até 72 horas a estresse térmico agudo, em diferentes fases do crescimento, sobre o desempenho e rendimento de carcaça. Quinhentos frangos de corte Cobb machos foram criados por até 42 dias em duas câmaras climáticas equipadas com sistemas de aquecimento e refrigeração. Duzentas e cinquenta aves foram submetidas ao estresse térmico (32°C±0,5°C), com duração de até 72 horas, com início aos 21 e 35 dias de idade. As demais 250 aves … Show more

“…The temperature profile that was used in this study markedly increased the respiration rate and blood pH, indicating that the broilers were experiencing both HS and respiratory alkalosis. In agreement with other studies, this resulted in an adaptive endocrine state, reducing thyroid hormone concentrations and growth performance [13,15,35,36,37]. Heat stress reduced meat quality, tending to reduce moisture content, increase lipid oxidation, and reduce MFI, a marker of post-mortem myofibrillar breakdown and proteolytic activity.…”

“…Rectal temperature and respiration rate are variables that are usually considered and used as the clear ones for estimating the physiological conditions of broilers [24]. Due to the lack of sweat glands, chickens spread their wings away from their bodies to increase the surface in contact with the air and pant to control body temperature in hightemperature environments [25]. High rectal temperatures and respiration rates suggest a physiological response under hot temperatures (i.e., respiratory alkalosis [26]).…”

“…Respiratory frequency is a commonly assessed variable employed to gauge and infer the physiological state of broilers [31]. Chickens, lacking sweat glands, resort to spreading their wings to enhance air contact and panting as mechanisms to regulate body temperature in hightemperature conditions [32]. Elevated respiration rates indicate a physiological response to high temperatures, often characterized as respiratory alkalosis [33].…”
