Respostas fisiológicas e gradientes térmicos de ovinos das raças Santa Inês, morada nova e de seus cruzamentos com a raça Dorper às condições do semi-árido nordestino

Abstract: RESUMOEste trabalho foi desenvolvido na Empresa Estadual de Pesquisa Agropecuária da Paraíba S.A. (EMEPA-PB), no município de Soledade, com o objetivo de avaliar os parâmetros fisiológicos (freqüência respiratória, freqüência cardíaca e temperatura retal) e gradientes térmicos (entre temperatura retal e temperatura da superfície e entre temperatura da superfície e temperatura do ar) de ovinos das raças Santa Inês, Morada Nova e seus mestiços F1 com ovinos Dorper, no semi-árido nordestino. Foram utilizados 30 o… Show more

“…This occurred because this is the hottest period of the day, with higher air temperature (Figure 1), and the environmental factors influenced the physiological indices of the animals. RR is an important physiological parameter for the characterization of the comfort/stress condition of animals (Santos et al, 2006). The values obtained in the present study are within the RR range considered as ideal for birds, which must be from 20 to 30 mov min -1 , with mean of 25 mov min -1 (Souza et al, 2005).…”

“…It should be pointed out that CT is one of the physiological parameters used to determine if the animal is or not in thermal balance with the environment (Santos et al, 2006), because it is a mechanism used by birds to release the stored heat. Nazareno et al (2009) also cite CT values around 41 and 42 ºC in broiler chickens raised in paddock and confined systems.…”

“…Segundo SOUZA et al (2002), existem limites de ITGU definidos para diversas espécies de animais, como a de bovinos, pelo National Weather Service -USA, estando em análise os índices de ITGU para outras espécies de interesse zootécnico. De acordo com a citação de vários autores (CESAR et al, 2004;OLIVEIRA et al, 2005;SANTOS et al, 2006;ANDRADE et al, 2007), em trabalhos com ovinos na região semiárida nordestina, valores de ITGU acima de 78 foram considerados como fora da zona de conforto térmico para ovinos, apesar de ainda não ter classificação definitiva, principalmente com animais nativos da região. Tomando-se por base essas citações, observa-se que, às 11; 13 e 15 h, os valores do ITGU (80,1; 81,3 e 82,1, respectivamente) estiveram acima da zona de conforto térmico para ovinos.…”

“…According to Santos et al (2006) and Lima et al (2010), once the temperature of the environment is elevated, it is important to evaluate if animals can dissipate this excessive heat, in efforts to maintain homeothermy. Normally, the effects of variation of climatic factors throughout the day, and the characteristics of the production environment on the animals depends on the efficiency of the mechanisms of sensible heat dissipation such as conduction, convection, and radiation.…”

“…Table 7). Thus, the existence of a significant difference in these physiological parameters confirms that the performance of sheep in the tropical region of Brazil is related to the mechanisms of thermal homeostasis, and through mechanisms that are sensitive or insensitive to heat.According to Santos et al (2006) and Lima et al (2010), once the temperature of the environment is elevated, it is important to evaluate if animals can dissipate this excessive heat, in efforts to maintain homeothermy. Normally, the effects of variation of climatic factors throughout the day, and the characteristics of the production environment on the animals depends on the efficiency of the mechanisms of sensible heat dissipation such as conduction, convection, and radiation.…”
