The impact of evaporative cooling on the thermoregulation and sensible heat loss of sows during farrowing

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Pigs are more sensitive to high environmental temperatures explained by the inability of sweating and panting properly when compared to other species of farmed livestock. The evaporative cooling system might favor the thermal comfort of animals during exposure to extreme environmental heat and reduce the harmful effects of heat stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the sensible heat loss and thermoregulation parameters from lactating sows during summer submitted to two different acclimatizat… Show more

“…The use of evaporative cooling allowed a reduction of 0.3 °C (39.0 to 38.7 °C) in the rectal temperature of the animals of one of the studies, and of 0.5 °C (34.8 to 34.3 °C) in the surface temperature, being these data reported in the papers of JUSTINO et al (2014) andJUSTINO et al (2015), respectively. Rectal temperature is an important indicator of when the pig exceeds thermoregulatory capacity.…”

“…Ventilation plays an extremely important role in animal production; this influences in the heat dissipation of the facilities, as well as in the reduction of the concentration of vapors, smoke, dust and toxic gases to production. However, this was specified in only two studies, with an increase of 0.06 m s -1 with the use of the negative pressure evaporative cooling system (BOTTO et al, 2014) and 3.15 m s -1 with the use of the ductofan evaporative cooling system (JUSTINO et al, 2014). In a study that evaluated combinations of air velocity and ambient temperature for growing pigs, a higher temperature and lower air velocity contributed to lower growth rate and higher microbiological load in the bays.…”

“…Já a frequência respiratória é uma boa medida para verificar se os animais estão ou não sob estresse por calor, e, no setor leste (pads), o ambiente térmico esteve dentro da zona termoneutra. Justino et al (2014), ao estudarem o resfriamento da nuca de porcas em lactação, observaram redução da frequência respiratória e da temperatura superficial de animais sob resfriamento da região da cabeça em comparação àqueles que receberam somente ventilação natural na cabeça (46,68 vs. 62,55 mov.min -1 e 34,33 vs. 34,79ºC, respectivamente). Portanto, o sistema de resfriamento pode influenciar na frequência respiratória e na temperatura superficial.…”

“…As médias de FR foram inferiores às encontradas por Martins et al (2008), que foram de 74,8mov.min -1 a uma Ta média de 27,8°C e umidade de 75,3% em galpão de maternidade, com cortinas laterais (abertas às 7h30 e fechadas às 18h), e equipado com ventiladores (acionados, rotineiramente, das 11 às 16h). Os valores da frequência respiratória observada por Justino et al (2014) em porcas em lactação, com resfriamento da região da cabeça (46,68mov.min -1 ), foram próximos aos obtidos no presente estudo, em matrizes alojadas próximo aos pads coolling, e abaixo dos obtidos nos animais do meio e próximo aos exaustores. O valor da FR neste estudo foi superior aos encontrados por Williams (2009) Dif.…”
