Variaciones en las respuestas termoregulatorias de ovejas de pelo durante los meses de verano en un clima desértico

Abstract: Se confinaron 10 ovejas multíparas Katahdin × Pelibuey, color blanco, no gestantes y no lactantes, para evaluar las variaciones diurnas de variables fisiológicas y concentración de algunos metabolitos sanguíneos a través de los meses calientes de verano (junio-septiembre), en una región desértica del noroeste de México. Las concentraciones de metabolitos se midieron a las 6 y 18 h y las variables fisiológicas a las 0, 6, 12 y 18 h durante cuatro días de cada mes (mediciones semanales). Los promedios para tempe… Show more

“…Given to a high correlation between environmental indices and sheep surface temperature, the importance of establishing indicative values of thermal discomfort to adopt measures to mitigate thermal stress and not compromise the productive performance has been stated [23]. In the present assessment, the temperature on the hair surface shows significant differences within both groups and time of measurement; this agrees well to the results by Macias et al [13] reporting lower BT during the mornings and higher at noon. This is because the variation in temperature in animals is influenced by the oscillation of the ambient temperature during the d [18].…”

“…La TR y la FR se correlacionaron en forma positiva y moderada con las diferentes temperaturas de capa de pelo. Algunos estudios realizados en ambientes cálidos explican que esta relación positiva de TR y FR con temperaturas de superficie corporal se presenta porque los ovinos de raza de pelo termoregulan en condiciones de estrés calórico disi-pando gran cantidad de calor corporal a través de la piel (McManus et al, 2009;Mendes et al, 2013;Macías-Cruz et al, 2018). En congruencia con estos resultados, TR y FR mostraron una correlación positiva con temperatura de pelo de cabeza, cadera, ijar y espalda bajo condiciones de estrés calórico en ovejas preñadas del genotipo Katahdin x Pelibuey (0,49 ≤ r ≤ 0,67) (Vicente-Pérez et al, 2016), así como en corderos de la raza Santa Ines (0,54 ≤ r ≤ 0,75) (McManus et al, 2015).…”

“…The RM of ewes under comfort conditions varies from two to three movements every two minutes. In the present study, the values recorded were below normal because ewes of hair breeds in heat stress make physiological adjustments by decreasing metabolic activity and feed consumption, simultaneously with an increase in BF [ 22 , 34 , 44 ]. Few studies have considered the effect of the time of day (morning and evening) on SE, CRT, and RM in ewes.…”

“…As compared with the study by Meza-Herrera et al [ 42 ], where they reported BF greater than 160 bpm at a THI value of 79.1 U, the Blackbelly ewes in this study were under heat stress similar to the previous study, because BFs greater than 180 bpm were recorded in the afternoon in the ewes. This adaptive response allows the animals to tolerate higher body heat loads, which are mainly dissipated by drastic increase in BFs at times when solar radiation is minimal or non-existent [ 34 , 43 , 44 ]. These results coincided with previous investigations, since the lower solar radiation was related to lower BF during the morning.…”
