Resumo: Nas cidades, os materiais utilizados para o revestimento do solo possuem propriedades que alteram o balanço dos ciclos naturais, induzindo a formação de fenômenos danosos como as ilhas de calor e as inundações urbanas. A partir desta constatação, atualmente muitas cidade vêm buscando uma recuperação da vegetação enquanto alternativa tecnologia que proporcione conforto ambiental sem prejudicar o desenvolvimento sustentável. Mas apesar de seu potencial para a amenização ambiental passiva, nem sempre é possível uma inserção considerável de áreas verdes nas cidades, tendo em vista que a valorização e demanda pelo uso do solo relegam-na a um segundo plano. Neste sentido, os revestimentos vegetais oferecem uma alternativa ao utilizarem a envoltória dos edifícios para introduzir a vegetação nas cidades; normalmente as coberturas e paredes dos edifícios configuram espaços subutilizados, mas com uma influência direta sobre o ambiente interno. Por causa disto, a tecnologia dos revestimentos vegetais tem atraído a atenção de muitos pesquisadores da área de clima urbano e conforto ambiental. Dentro deste contexto o trabalho aborda uma variação da tecnologia conhecida como muros vivos, que propõe a criação de uma pele vegetal sobre a alvenaria dos edifícios. A pesquisa teve como enfoque a análise térmica, utilizando para isto um delineamento experimental com medições comparativas. O objetivo principal consistiu em verificar a extensão em que o uso de um muro vivo externo influencia o comportamento térmico da envoltória e do interior de um edifício. O experimento ocorreu no campus da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, dentro da realidade construtiva e climática da região sudeste do Brasil. Durante a sua realização foram medidos parâmetros ambientais (temperaturas superficiais, do ar, e de globo negro; umidade relativa) em dois edifícios similares (um exposto e outro protegido com a pele verde) durante meses de verão (outubro de 2013 a janeiro de 2014). Além da influência sobre o comportamento térmico do edifício, a pesquisa também avaliou a viabilidade de uso de diferentes espécies vegetais em sistemas de muro vivo, assim como parâmetros técnicos referentes à irrigação, nutrição e fixação das plantas. Os principais resultados obtidos demonstraram que o sistema proporcionou um amortecimento térmico médio de até 19 °C na temperatura superficial externa da envoltória, e um atraso térmico médio de até 4 horas; no interior, a presença da pele verde proporcionou uma amenização média de até 2,73 °C na temperatura operativa no horário mais quente do dia típico
Abstract: In cities the materials used to cover the ground have properties that change the balance of natural cycles, leading to the shaping of harmful phenomena as the heat islands and urban floods. From this evidence many towns currently seek the restoration of vegetation cover as a way to provide environmental comfort without neglecting the sustainable development. But despite its potential for passive mitigation, not always the insertion of large green areas in cities is feasible due the high value and demand for land use. In this sense the green skins provide an alternative when using the buildings envelope in order to add vegetatios in cities; usually, the roofs and walls of buildings characterize underutilized areas, but with a direct influence on its internal environment. Because of this, the technology of vegetal coatings has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of urban climate and environmental comfort. Within this context, this research addressed a variation of this technologies known as living walls, which proposes the creation of a vertical greenery system attached to the masonry of the buildings. The research had a focus on the thermal analysis, using for this an experimental approach with comparative measurements. Its main objective has been to verify the extent to which an external living wall influences the thermal behavior of the envelope and the interior of a building. The experiment took place at the State University of Campinas campus, within the constructive and climatic reality of southeastern Brazil. During its realization were measured environmental parameters (air, superficial, and black-globe temperatures; relative humidity) in two similar buildings (one exposed and other protected with the vegetal skin) during the summer months (October 2013 to January 2014). In addition, the research also evaluated the feasibility of using different plant species in the system, as well as technical parameters referring to irrigation, nutrition and plants attachment. The main results showed that the living wall provided an average thermal damping up to 19° C at the outer surface temperature of the envelope, and an average thermal lag of up to 4 hours for the warmer hours of the day; inside, the presence of the vegetal skin provided a mitigation up to 2,73 ° C in the operative temperature to the hottest hours of the average day

Full textThe increased concern about animal welfare in the world is evident. In this area, the housing system of gestating sows is especially significant due to the use of individual cages. Thus, the generation of knowledge of group housing is urgent. Information on the use of bedding for these animals in the Brazilian climate is scarce. The purpose of this research was to evaluate productive, behavioral, physiological and bioclimatic aspects resulting from the use of bedding in the gestation period of sows, in different housing systems. The experiments were conducted in Itu, state of São Paulo, between January and September 2010, during two gestation periods (experiments 1 and 2). In each period 216 gestating sows were housed in four treatments, in order to evaluate the type of housing CP or P (cage and pen - CP or en - P) and the type of floor WB or NB (wood shaving bedding/with bedding WB or concrete/no bedding - NB). In Chapter 3 we analyzed the physical characteristics of the environment and the physiological indicators of thermal comfort. In chapter 4 we evaluated the behavioral patterns in the treatments, as well as the reproductive results. Worse microclimatic conditions were observed in the bedding (P<0.05), with increase in temperature and in specific enthalpy of air (1.14 ºC and 2.37 kJ/kg dry air, respectively). In experiment 2 there was interaction (P<0.05) between the time and the presence of bedding. Only in the morning and at noon the presence of bedding caused increase in temperature and in specific enthalpy of air. In experiment 1, the floor temperature in the dirty area was higher with the use of bedding, with an increase of 2.61 ºC (P<0.05). The same occurred in experiment 2, but there was interaction between floor temperature in the dirty area and the time. In general, the floor temperature in the clean area was higher in the NB systems. In experiment 1, the rectal temperature did not differ significantly in the treatments (P<0.05), whereas experiment 2 showed higher rectal temperature in the presence of bedding. In both experiments, skin temperature and respiratory rate were higher in the bedding. Sows kept in the bedding system had higher rates of standing posture (20.9 and 31.4% for CPNB and CPWB and 20.6 and 39.2% for PNB and PWB, respectively). We found evidence that the bedding decreases the occurrence of oral stereotypies and lesions. The models developed showed that most reproductive variables were not affected by the treatments. The use of bedding caused negative alterations in thermodynamic aspects of the system higher specific enthalpy, with physiological variables indicating thermal stress. On the other hand, the evaluation of behavior and lesions indicated advantages related to the use of bedding. The similarity of the productive results obtained shows that the use of bedding and the group housing during all gestation period should be considered as viable practices. However, it is necessary to study climatization forms in the productive environment, in order to provide thermal comfort, in association with other requisites for animal welfare.

Full textThe aim of this study was to evaluate the heat tolerance of three meat sheep breeds, Santa Ines, Dorper and White Merino using Thermolysis capacity test. 97 non pregnant females (3 years old) were used in the study that took place in the summer. Physiological variables as rectal temperature (RT), surface temperature (ST), respiratory rate (RR) were measured after two hours under the shade (1), after one hour under the sun (2), fifteen (3) and thirty (4) minutes after sun exposure, and sweating rate (SR) on time 2. Were also collected behavioral data during three days in the period from 11:00 to 14:00 hours: say in the sun, standing posture, eating, ruminating and idling. RT1 means were equal Santa Ines and Dorper, and greater for White Merino (P<0.05). White Merino also had greater values for RT2, RT3 e RT4, followed by Santa Ines and Dorper (P<0.05). These results reflected the thermolysis capacity, being lower for Santa Ines breed (P<0.05). After sun exposure differences between ST were observed, and greater values were found for White Merino, followed by Dorper and Santa Ines breeds (P<0.05). In the same way, White Merino had the highest RR, followed by Dorper, which had higher RR compared to Santa Ines (P<0.05). All animals exposed to the sun for an hour showed increased RT, ST, RR values (P<0.05), and approached the levels found before exposure to the sun after thirty minutes of rest in the shade (Santa Ines and Dorper P<0.05; White Merino P>0.05). Sweating rate for Santa Ines breed was higher than those found for Dorper breed (P<0.05). There were differences among animals within each race (P<0.05), confirming the hypothesis of great variability among individuals and differences between the breeds. With respect to behavior, Santa Ines ewe grazed even during the hottest hours of the day, and a positive correlation of 0.64 between the individual thermolysis capacity and grazing in the sun was found, while the Dorper ewes remained preferentially under the shade due to the semi-confined management. In the present study, feedin management influenced the time under the shade. Under experimental climatic conditions, the studied ewes had theirs physiological parameters increased due to sun exposure, and Dorper and White Merino breeds showed a greater thermolisys capacity than the animals of the Santa Ines breed, which is a factor that can influence individual heat tolerance.

Full textThe activity patterns of many bat species have often been associated with food availability, vegetation structure and climate. There is usually more activity in areas with higher availability of food resources, and in landscapes that allow greater ease of commuting. The activity is generally reduced in periods with more extreme temperatures, and it is known that the reduction of bat activity during cold periods is related both to physiological issues associated to the balance between production and heat loss, and to the reproductive cycles of the species’. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to evaluate the influence of meteorological and habitat variables on the pattern of bat activity in a temperate region of Brazil. The evaluation of bat activity was carried out between January and May 2016, through acoustic monitoring. To relate bat activity to local weather conditions, temperature and humidity sensors connected to data loggers were installed near each ultrasound detector. The number of bat passes and the number of feeding buzzes were compared between guilds of space use – open and edge foragers bats – and between different body sizes – small bats (between 4g and 8g) and large bats (between 30g and 35g). The area where the largest bat activity was recorded was a continuous area of Dense Ombrophylous Forest, located at low altitude, and the highest feeding activity was recorded in sites near water sources. The activity pattern differed significantly among guilds: open-space foraging bats registered the highest activity levels concentrated in the early hours of the night and were active at lower temperatures, while edge-space foragers maintained activity reasonably constant throughout the night, though focusing their activity at higher temperatures. A possible increase in insect density in high strata at dusk can optimize the success of capture of open space foragers in such a way that would allow the concentration of activity in this period. The pattern of activity of large and small bats also differed significantly: large bats were more frequently recorded at lower temperatures than small bats. As expected, the activity of large bats occurred at lower temperatures than that of small bats. It was estimated that the limiting temperature to the activity of the large bats is lower than that to small bats. This is an expected consequence because of the greater thermal inertia of animals of larger body size, thus the minimum critical temperature of large bats should always be smaller than that of small bats. Temperature and habitat seem to explain the activity patterns of both foraging bats of open space and border, and of different body sizes in a temperate mesothermic climate in Brazil.

No presente trabalho se estuda a produção de rã touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802) em baias de fibrocimento dentro de estufas com cobertura de polietileno e em condições de temperatura mínima controlada em laboratório. São feitos estudos fisiológicos (dosagem de Hematócrito e de Triidotiroidina Total - T3 - e de Tiroxina Total - T4), e de alguns aspectos morfofisiológicos da musculatura estriada do músculo adutor magnum (morfologia, freqüência e diâmetro das fibras musculares). Foram construídas três estruturas, cada uma coberta com filme de PVC de 0,1 mm de espessura e de cores diferentes (Verde, Transparente e Branca). A construção das estruturas e das baias foi amplamente detalhada no trabalho. O ambiente interno das estruturas foi estudado através da medição de temperaturas de globo, do ar, do piso, da água e de bulbo molhado, das irradiâncias global e refletida e do saldo de irradiação infravermelha, sendo que, no meio externo, foram feitas medições de irradiância global, da temperatura e da umidade do ar. Foram calculados os índices bioclimáticos: Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (THI), Carga Térmica Radiante (CTR) e Índice de Termômetro de Globo (WBGT). Obtiveram-se correlações para estimativa de variáveis ambientais, no interior das estruturas, a partir de valores medidos no meio externo e a partir de outras, medidas no interior das estruturas. As variáveis que descrevem o ambiente interno das estufas foram correlacionadas com variáveis de desempenho animal (Peso Vivo, Ganho de Peso e Consumo) de forma descritiva, por inferência através de análise multivariada e por análises de regressão. Estas variáveis de desempenho e ambientais, também foram correlacionadas com o rendimento de carcaça...
Bull Frogs ((Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802) production in fibercement sheds located inside polyethylene covered structures and under laboratory conditions in a minimum temperature controlled environment, were studied in this work. Physiological analyses (levels of hematocrit, Total Triidothyronine -T3 and Total Thyroxine - T4) were conducted and some morphophysiological aspects of the adutor magnum muscle (morphology, frequency and diameter of the muscle fibers) were described. Three structures were built; each one covered with a 0.1-mm width PVC film with a specific color (green, transparent and white). Structures and shed construction details were fully described. The internal environment inside the structures and sheds was studied and the following environmental variables were measured, in (WBGT) were calculated. The environmental variables inside the structures and sheds were correlated with external ones and estimation equations were found by linear regression analyses. Animal performance (live weight, weight gain and feed intake) was correlated with environmental variables inside the sheds descriptively, and by multivariate and regression analyses. The same was made for carcass dressing, biometry and for diameters and frequencies of the adutor magnum muscle fibers. Conclusions about environmental modeling and about the relative importance of the environmental variables and bioclimatic indexes in the animal performance were presented. This was also made for the morphological and physiological aspects and their relation with the environmental variables and animal performance.

Full textThe sustainability of intensive areas of swine production depends on alternative destinations for the generated residues. The calcination of swine deep bedding generates vitreous silica for partial replacement of commercial binders. The use of rice husk ashes as pozzolanic material for mortars and concretes has deserved considerable attention in the last years, not just for improving their mechanical properties, but also for the environmental benefits linked to the reduction of clinker consumption. The lack of environmental sustainability can limit the economical growth of swine production, due to the tendency for concentration in sites with intensive activity, and, as a consequence, the increase of the contamination by wastes. Aiming alternatives that can minimize or decrease such problem, the objective of this work is to test the use of agricultural waste (swine deep bedding ashes and sisal fiber) for the manufacture of piggy`s house plates with different types of heating (filament lamps and electric resistance) on based cement composite materials. The swine deep bedding ashes replaced 30% of Portland cement. The resulting cementations matrix was reinforced with sisal fiber. The results obtained with the use of swine deep bedding ashes validates the use of this material for partial replacement of Portland cement. The optimal calcination temperature is 600 °C with rate of 5 ºC/min for over 3 hours. The material selected should be as pass in ABNT sieve No 200 (# 0.074 mm). The swine deep bedding ashes increased the thermal conductivity and sisal fiber entrapped air in the plate and due to the pores incorporated there was a reduction in the heat conduction to the bottom. The best treatment was the plate with two layers of swine deep bedding ashes and sisal fiber, associated with 200 W lamp.

The animal welfare assessment techniques are used to check the stress level of the animals. Swine production has been reported as one of the most stressful livestock. The nursery phase is heavily critical, whereas the piglets are liable to several agent stressors leading them to welfare state decrease and causing stereotyped behaviors. One way to reduce the issues stress in the nursery phase is environmental enrichment technique. This technique consists in providing enriching objects that stimulate the exploratory behavior pigs, increasing the well-being and animal cognition improvement. However, the enriching object pigs adaptation with permanent presence in pen leads to decreased of interaction frequency with the enriching object. Environmental enrichment in time intermittently may increase the piglets interaction frequency with enriching object, promoting the novelty aspect and increasing well-being. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of time intermittently of environmental enrichment on the novelty effect and interaction frequency of piglets with enriching object (wheelbarrow tire) and its influence on the nursery piglets behavior and performance. Were used 720 piglets in nursery phase of both sexes. The piglets were assigned into four treatments: WEO - without enriching object; PEO - permanently enriching object; WEO24 - No enriching object with 24h intermittent; WEO48 - No enriching object with 48h intermittency. Were evaluated the piglets behavior whereof ethogram, the Black Globe and Humidity Index(BGHI) effect in the behavior, injury score, diarrhea score and performance. There was recorded a significant effect (p <0.05) in the piglets interaction with enriching object for treatments with intermittent time and A significant effect (p <0.05) of environmental enrichment treatments in reduce stereotypes behavior (WEO: 7.62%; PEO%: 6:21%; WEO24: 6,31%e WEO48: 6.59%). The BGHI variation changed the piglets behavior. Significant effects were observed (p <0.05) for lesion score values, diarrhea and performance among the treatments. The higher interaction frequency with the enriching object was observed in piglets submitted to, whereas was observed that the intermittency time promoted the novelty aspect when was reintroduced into the environment. The decreased stereotyped behavior increasing the piglets welfare. However, the intermittency time did not influence the piglets performance.
As técnicas de avaliações de bem-estar animal são utilizadas para verificar o nível de estresse dos animais. A fase de creche na produção de suínos é crítica, pois, os leitões são submetidos a vários agentes estressores levando-os à diminuição do estado de bem-estar e causando o aparecimento de comportamentos estereotipados. Uma das formas de diminuir os problemas relacionados ao estresse na fase de creche é a técnica de enriquecimento ambiental. O enriquecimento ambiental se dá pelo fornecimento de objetos enriquecedores que estimulam o comportamento exploratório dos suínos promovendo o bem-estar e a melhora na cognição dos animais. No entanto, a habituação com a presença permanente do objeto enriquecedor nas baias leva à diminuição da frequência de interação com o objeto utilizado. O enriquecimento ambiental com intermitência no tempo pode aumentar a frequência de interação dos leitões com o objeto enriquecedor, promovendo o aspecto novidade favorecendo o bem-estar. Portanto, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do enriquecimento ambiental com intermitência do tempo sobre o efeito de novidade e frequência de interação dos leitões com objeto enriquecedor (pneu) e sua influência no comportamento e desempenho de leitões na fase de creche. Foram utilizados 720 leitões na fase de creche de ambos os sexos divididos em quatro tratamentos: SOE – sem objeto enriquecedor; OEP – com objeto enriquecedor permanente; SOE24 – Sem objeto enriquecedor com intermitência de 24 h; SOE48 – Sem objeto enriquecedor com intermitência de 48 h. Avaliou-se o comportamento dos leitões com utilização do etograma, a influência do índice de temperatura de globo negro (ITGU) no comportamento dos animais, escore de lesões, escore de diarreia e desempenho. Observou-se uma maior interação com o objeto enriquecedor com a intermitência no tempo. Observou-se efeito significativo (p<0,05) dos tratamentos com enriquecimento ambiental com a redução de comportamentos estereotipados (SOE: 7,62%; OEP: 6.21%; SOE24: 6,31%e SOE48: 6,59%). A variação do ITGU alterou o comportamento dos leitões. Não foram observados efeitos significativos (p<0,05) para os valores de escore de lesão, diarreia e desempenho entre os tratamentos avaliados. A maior frequência de interação com o objeto enriquecedor (pneu) foi observada nos leitões submetidos à intermitência de tempo, pois, esse manejo promoveu o aspecto novidade ao ser reintroduzido no ambiente. A intermitência de tempo diminuiu os comportamentos estereotipados favorecendo o bem-estar dos leitões. No entanto, a intermitência não melhorou o desempenho dos leitões

Full textEsta tese avaliou os efeitos do estresse tÃrmico nas respostas fisiolÃgicas, hematolÃgicas e hormonais de bÃfalas, criadas ao sol e à sombra, na Unidade de Pesquisa Animal âSenador Ãlvaro Adolphoâ (01Â.26â.03â S e 48Â.26â.03â W), Embrapa AmazÃnia Oriental, em BelÃm, ParÃ, em condiÃÃes tropicais quentes e Ãmidas. Foram utilizadas 20 bÃfalas da raÃa Murrah, distribuÃdas de modo inteiramente casualizado, em dois grupos (grupo Sem Sombra - SS e grupo Com Sombra - CS). Todos os animais permaneceram em pastejo rotacionado, sendo os do grupo CS (n=10) mantidos em piquetes de sistema silvipastoril, sombreados pela leguminosa Acacia mangium e os do grupo SS (n=10), mantidos em piquetes sem acesso à sombra. A alimentaÃÃo foi a pasto, com a gramÃnea quicuio-da-amazÃnia (Brachiaria humidicola), com acesso à Ãgua para beber e sal mineral ad libitum. As variÃveis climÃticas, temperatura do ar (TA), umidade relativa do ar (UR) e temperatura de globo negro, foram obtidas no microclima de cada tratamento. As variÃveis fisiolÃgicas estudadas foram: temperatura retal (TR), frequÃncia respiratÃria (FR), frequÃncia cardÃaca (FC) e temperatura da superfÃcie corporal (TSC), as quais foram aferidas nos turnos da manhà (7h00) e da tarde (13h00). As colheitas de sangue para realizaÃÃo do eritrograma, do nÃmero total de leucÃcitos e para determinaÃÃo quantitativa de cortisol, triiodotironina (T3) e tiroxina (T4) foram realizadas no horÃrio de pico de temperatura ambiente local (13h00). Foram considerados os perÃodos: mais chuvoso (janeiro a abril), de transiÃÃo (maio a julho) e menos chuvoso (agosto a dezembro). AtravÃs da anÃlise de variÃncia foram constatadas diferenÃas significativas (P<0,05) da TA, Ãndice de temperatura e umidade (ITU) e Ãndice de temperatura de globo e umidade (ITGU), entre os turnos e grupos, sendo mais elevados no perÃodo da tarde e no grupo SS. Os maiores valores de UR ocorreram no perÃodo mais chuvoso do ano, com diferenÃas estatÃsticas (P<0,05) entre os turnos, com valores superiores pela manhÃ. Resultados da anÃlise de variÃncia das variÃveis fisiolÃgicas TR, TSC, FR e FC revelaram diferenÃas significativas entre os turnos e grupos, com valores superiores no turno da tarde e grupo SS (P<0,05). No que se refere aos dados hematolÃgicos, o nÃmero de leucÃcitos sofreu influÃncia dos perÃodos do ano e tratamentos (P<0,05). No perÃodo mais chuvoso, o grupo CS apresentou valores superiores, enquanto nos perÃodos de transiÃÃo e menos chuvoso, os maiores valores foram do grupo SS. Os valores de hemÃcias sofreram influÃncia apenas dos tratamentos (P<0,05), com valores mais elevados no grupo SS, durante o perÃodo menos chuvoso do ano. O teor de hemoglobina sofreu influÃncia somente nos perÃodos de transiÃÃo e menos chuvoso, com nÃveis mais elevados (P<0,05). Em relaÃÃo aos resultados hormonais, o cortisol sofreu influÃncia dos tratamentos e perÃodos (P<0,05), com valores mais altos no grupo SS e perÃodos mais e menos chuvosos (P<0,05), enquanto que no perÃodo de transiÃÃo foram observados os menores valores. As mÃdias mais elevadas de T3 e T4 foram registradas no perÃodo mais chuvoso (P<0,05). A TR, TSC e FR apresentaram correlaÃÃes significativas (P<0,01) e positivas com a TA, ITU e ITGU, e negativas com a UR, as quais foram mais elevadas no perÃodo menos chuvoso. A FC, nos dois perÃodos do ano, apresentou correlaÃÃes baixas, porÃm altamente significativas (P<0,01) e positivas, com a TA, ITU e ITGU, e significativa e negativa (P<0,05), com a UR, somente no perÃodo mais chuvoso do ano. Os leucÃcitos, hemÃcias e o volume globular nÃo se correlacionaram com a TA, UR e ITGU. Somente a hemoglobina teve correlaÃÃo significativa e negativa (P<0,05), com a UR. O cortisol nÃo se correlacionou com a TA, UR e ITGU. O T3 e T4 se correlacionaram, negativamente, com a TA e ITGU, e positivamente, com a UR. Conclui-se que independente do perÃodo do ano, as bÃfalas Murrah estÃo sujeitas a ambiente hostil, com o perÃodo menos chuvoso considerado como o mais propÃcio a provocar estresse tÃrmico. O perÃodo de transiÃÃo à o que menos causou impacto sobre as variÃveis hormonais, e pode ser considerado de melhor conforto tÃrmico. A arborizaÃÃo da pastagem à eficiente para melhorar o conforto e, consequentemente, o desempenho produtivo dos animais, principalmente no turno da tarde.
This thesis aimed at evaluate the effects of heat stress on physiological, hematologic and hormonal responses of female buffaloes raised under full sun and shade at Embrapa Eastern Amazon, Belem, Para State, Brazil (01Â.26â.03â S e 48Â.26â.03â W). Twenty female Murrah buffaloes were used. They were randomly assigned into two groups (Non Shade Group â NS, and Shade Group â SG). All animals were kept under rotational grazing: the ones in the NS group (n=10) were maintained in paddocks under a silvopastoral system, shaded by the tree legume Acacia mangium, whereas the ones in the SG (n=10) were kept in paddocks with no shade access. All animals were grass fed with Brachiaria humidicola, and had free access to drinking water and mineral salt. The climate variables: air temperature (AT), relative humidity (RH) and black globe temperature (BGT) were measured on each treatment. The physiological variables studied were: rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and body surface temperature (BST). They were measured in the morning (7h00) and in the afternoon (13h00). Blood sampling, aiming erythrogram, leukocyte count, and the quantitative determination of cortisol, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), was carried out at the time of the highest temperature in the region (13h00). Three distinct climatic periods of the year were considered: rainy (January to April), transition (May to July) and less rainy (August to December). Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the AT, temperature humidity index (THI), and black globe humidity index (BGHI) between the distinct periods of the day and between groups. The highest rates were observed in the afternoon in the NS group. The highest RH values were observed during the rainy period. There were statistical differences (P<0.05) in RH between the periods of the day, and the highest values were measured in the morning. Results of analysis of variance for the physiological parameters RT, BST, RR and HR revealed that there were significant differences between the periods of the day and groups, and the values observed in group SS, during the afternoon, were higher (P<0.05) than the ones during the morning. Regarding the hematologic data, the leukocytes count was influenced by the periods of the year and treatments (P<0.05). During the rainy periods, the SG group presented the highest values. In the less rainy and transition periods, the highest values were observed in the NS group. The erythrocytes count was influenced (P<0.05) by the treatments, and the NS group showed the highest values in the less rainy period. Hemoglobin contents were not influenced by the treatments, however they were influenced by the periods of the year, and the highest levels (P <0.05) were observed during the transition and less rainy periods. Regarding the hormones, cortisol was influenced by the treatments (P<0.05), and the NS group showed the highest values. The highest mean rates of cortisol were reported during the rainy and less rainy periods of the year (P<0.05), and the transition period presented the lowest cortisol values. The highest average levels of T3 and T4 were recorded during the rainy period (P<0.05). RT, BST and RR presented a significant and positive (P<0.01) correlation with AT, THI and BGHI, and a negative correlation with RH. These correlations were higher during the less rainy period. HR showed low, but relevant and positive (P<0.01) correlations with AT, THI and BGHI during the two other periods, and significant and negative (P<0.05) correlation with RH only in the rainy period. Leukocytes, erythrocytes and the globular volume did not correlate with AT, RH and BGHI. Only hemoglobin presented a significant and negative (P<0.05) correlation with RH. Cortisol did not correlate with AT, RH and BGHI. T3 and T4 correlated negatively with AT and BGHI, and positively with RH. We concluded that regardless of the season, Murrah buffaloes are subject to a hostile environment, and that the less rainy period is the most conducive to cause heat stress. The transition period caused less impact on the hormonal variables. It can be considered as the period with the best thermal comfort. Forestation of pasture areas is sufficient to increase comfort and consequently improve the productive performance of the animals, especially during the afternoon.

Resumo : No presente trabalho se estuda a produção de rã touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802) em baias de fibrocimento dentro de estufas com cobertura de polietileno e em condições de temperatura mínima controlada em laboratório. São feitos estudos fisiológicos (dosagem de Hematócrito e de Triidotiroidina Total - T3 - e de Tiroxina Total - T4), e de alguns aspectos morfofisiológicos da musculatura estriada do músculo adutor magnum (morfologia, freqüência e diâmetro das fibras musculares). Foram construídas três estruturas, cada uma coberta com filme de PVC de 0,1 mm de espessura e de cores diferentes (Verde, Transparente e Branca). A construção das estruturas e das baias foi amplamente detalhada no trabalho. O ambiente interno das estruturas foi estudado através da medição de temperaturas de globo, do ar, do piso, da água e de bulbo molhado, das irradiâncias global e refletida e do saldo de irradiação infravermelha, sendo que, no meio externo, foram feitas medições de irradiância global, da temperatura e da umidade do ar. Foram calculados os índices bioclimáticos: Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (THI), Carga Térmica Radiante (CTR) e Índice de Termômetro de Globo (WBGT). Obtiveram-se correlações para estimativa de variáveis ambientais, no interior das estruturas, a partir de valores medidos no meio externo e a partir de outras, medidas no interior das estruturas. As variáveis que descrevem o ambiente interno das estufas foram correlacionadas com variáveis de desempenho animal (Peso Vivo, Ganho de Peso e Consumo) de forma descritiva, por inferência através de análise multivariada e por análises de regressão. Estas variáveis de desempenho e ambientais, também foram correlacionadas com o rendimento de carcaça,...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: Bull Frogs ((Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802) production in fibercement sheds located inside polyethylene covered structures and under laboratory conditions in a minimum temperature controlled environment, were studied in this work. Physiological analyses (levels of hematocrit, Total Triidothyronine -T3 and Total Thyroxine - T4) were conducted and some morphophysiological aspects of the adutor magnum muscle (morphology, frequency and diameter of the muscle fibers) were described. Three structures were built; each one covered with a 0.1-mm width PVC film with a specific color (green, transparent and white). Structures and shed construction details were fully described. The internal environment inside the structures and sheds was studied and the following environmental variables were measured, in (WBGT) were calculated. The environmental variables inside the structures and sheds were correlated with external ones and estimation equations were found by linear regression analyses. Animal performance (live weight, weight gain and feed intake) was correlated with environmental variables inside the sheds descriptively, and by multivariate and regression analyses. The same was made for carcass dressing, biometry and for diameters and frequencies of the adutor magnum muscle fibers. Conclusions about environmental modeling and about the relative importance of the environmental variables and bioclimatic indexes in the animal performance were presented. This was also made for the morphological and physiological aspects and their relation with the environmental variables and animal performance.

Full textThe mainly goal of this study was to compare the two most common breed groups of Girolando (ÂHol ÂGir vs. ÂHol ÂGir) through rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rates (RR), surface temperature (ST), hormonal profiles (T3, T4 and cortisol), milk production, number of inseminations (AI) per pregnancy and pregnancy rates (PR). We used 240 primiparous cows, 120 of each breed group. Physiological data were collected in March, April and May, and in September, October and November. The environmental parameters were: relative humidity (RH), ambient temperature (AT) and the temperature and humidity index (THI). The means of RH, AT and THI were 62.5%, 29.4 C and 71 in rainy period, and 37.4%, 37 C and 85 in the dry period, respectively. The RT means and frequencies for ÂHol cows remained within normal ranges in both periods and shifts with differences (p < 0.05) in means inside the rainy period between breed groups. The ÂHol cows had RT means above of normal ranges in both periods. The RR means and frequencies of ÂHol cows remained within the normal range in both periods and shifts with differences (p < 0.05) between periods. The ÂHol RR means were above normal ranges during the dry period and differed (p < 0.05) of another group and between periods. In relation to T3, both groups of animals showed higher concentrations in rainy period with differences (p < 0.05) between groups, and there were differences between periods (p < 0.05) in ÂHol group. With the T4 hormone, there were differences (p < 0.05) between the groups in the rainy period and between periods in the group of ÂHol. In relation to cortisol, there were differences (p < 0.05) in the dry period between the groups of animals and, between periods, for ÂHol animals. In relation to production, there were differences (p < 0.05) in the dry period and, differences between periods, in the other group. At lactation peaks there were differences (p < 0.05) only between periods. In the number of AI there were differences (p < 0.05) between the groups in the dry period and, between periods, in the animals of the group ÂHol. There were differences (p < 0.05) in PR during the dry season between the groups and, between periods, ÂHol group had a significant decrease in PR in the dry period. The animals best suited to the farm system without cooling are those of the breed group of ÂHolstein ÂGir.

Foram utilizadas 240 vacas primÃparas, sendo 120 de cada grupo racial. Os dados fisiolÃgicos foram coletados nos meses de MarÃo, Abril e Maio, e Setembro, Outubro e Novembro. Os parÃmetros ambientais foram: umidade relativa do ar (UR), temperatura ambiente (TA) e o Ãndice de temperatura e umidade (ITU). As mÃdias de UR, TA e ITU foram 62,5%, 29,4 C e 71 no perÃodo chuvoso, e 37,4%, 37 C e 85 no perÃodo seco, respectivamente. As mÃdias e frequÃncias de TR das vacas ÂHol mantiveram-se dentro do normal em ambos os turnos e perÃodos com diferenÃas (p < 0,05) nas mÃdias dentro do perÃodo chuvoso entre os grupos raciais. As vacas ÂHol apresentaram mÃdias de TR acima do normal nos dois perÃodos. As mÃdias e frequÃncias das FR das vacas ÂHol mantiveram-se dentro da normalidade em ambos os perÃodos e turnos com diferenÃas (p < 0,05) entre os perÃodos. As mÃdias de FR dos animais ÂHol ficaram acima do normal durante o perÃodo seco e diferiram (p < 0,05) do outro grupo e entre perÃodos. No que diz respeito ao hormÃnio T3, ambos os grupos de animais apresentaram maiores concentraÃÃes mÃdias no perÃodo chuvoso com diferenÃas (p < 0,05) entre os grupos, e entre os perÃodos houve diferenÃas (p < 0,05) no grupo ÂHol. Com o hormÃnio T4, houve diferenÃas (p < 0,05) entre os grupos no perÃodo chuvoso e entre perÃodos no grupo ÂHol. Com relaÃÃo ao cortisol, houve diferenÃas (p < 0,05) no perÃodo seco entre os grupos de animais e, entre os perÃodos, para os animais ÂHol. Com relaÃÃo à produÃÃo houve diferenÃa (p < 0,05) apenas no perÃodo seco e, entre os perÃodos, no outro grupo. Nos picos de lactaÃÃo houve diferenÃas (p < 0,05) apenas entre os perÃodos.

This study was realized to evaluate the effect of cooling the cage floor under the lactating sows on productive performance receiving different amounts of feed in the summer. Forty two sows with different parturition orders were used (1º to 5º), distributed in three treatments (floor not cooled and free intake; floor cooled and 5,5 kg/day of intake; floor cooled and free intake), in a completely randomized experimental block design, with 14 repetitions, being each animal considered an experimental unit. The animals were distributed in treatments considering the order of parturition and body weight. The sows were in experiment during 21 days. Duringthis period received the same food and the water ad libitum. The data of the temperature of dry bulb, humidity bulb and black globe were registered in the experimental period and converted in to the index of temperature of black globe and humidity (ITGU), which was used to characterize the thermal environment in which the sows were maintained. The sows were maintained in cage with cooled floor and received food ad libitum showed larger feed intake, metabolizable energy and digestible lysine. The animals maintained in cooled floor and received restricted food showed larger mobilization of body reserves. The period to return estrus to was larger in the same animals. The piglets of sows that maintained in cooled floor showed larger weight at weaning and weight gain per day. Cooling floor too affect the physiologic parameters, with the animals submitted to the cooled floor presenting smaller values in respiratory frequency, rectal temperature and superficial temperatures. The cooling the cage floor under the lactating sows, favors the dissipation of heat, improves the thermal condition, the capacity of feed intake and productive performance of lactating sows in the summer.
Este estudo foi realizado para avaliar o efeito do resfriamento do piso da gaiola de maternidade no desempenho produtivo de porcas em lactação recebendo diferentes quantidades de ração no período de verão. Foram utilizadas 42 porcas de 1o a 5o partos, distribuídas em três tratamentos (piso não resfriado e consumo à vontade; piso resfriado e consumo de 5,5 kg/dia; e piso resfriado e consumo à vontade), em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com 14 repetições, no qual cada porca foi considerada uma unidade experimental. Na distribuição dos animais nos tratamentos, a fim de garantir maior uniformidade, foram considerados o peso corporal e a ordem de parto das porcas. As porcas foram mantidas no experimento do parto até o desmame, realizado aos 21 dias de lactação. Os animais foram alimentados com a mesma ração de lactação e receberam água à vontade. O ambiente térmico no interior das maternidades foi monitorado por meio de termômetros de máxima e mínima, de bulbo seco e bulbo úmido e de globo negro. Os dados de temperatura foram posteriormente convertidos no índice de temperatura de globo e umidade (ITGU) para caracterizar o ambiente térmico em que estes animais foram alojados. As porcas mantidas em gaiola com piso resfriado e que receberam ração à vontade apresentaram maiores consumos de ração, de energia metabolizável e de lisina digestível. Maior mobilização de reservas corporais foi verificada nos animais mantidos em piso resfriado com restrição do consumo de ração. O intervalo desmame-estro também foi maior nestes animais. Os leitões das porcas mantidas em piso resfriado tiveram maior peso ao desmame e maior ganho de peso diário. O resfriamento do piso também influenciou as variáveis fisiológicas determinadas, uma vez que os animais apresentaram menor freqüência respiratória e mais baixas temperatura retal e temperaturas superficiais da nuca, pernil e peito. O resfriamento do piso da gaiola de maternidade favorece a dissipação de calor corporal, melhorando a condição térmica, a capacidade de consumo e o desempenho produtivo das porcas em lactação durante o verão.

The increase in livestock production demand has required that animals are increasingly adverse weather conditions more suited to express the maximum of genetics, nutrition and management received. So, identify, and evaluate mensure animals more adapted breeds is an aspect to be explored. The Senepol breed was formed by British breeds (Red Poll) and African (N'Dama) to obtain a suitable animal. This study aimed to measure the climate and physiological variables to determine the index of tolerance Steers heat of Senepol race. The animals were submitted to thermolytic capacity test checking the most suitable hot weather. The experiment was conducted in Genetic Alge plantation in Nerópolis - GO, during the summer months. 17 steers average age of 12 months analyzed the sun and the shade durnte 3 nonconsecutive days of spring and summer were used. completely randomized design and and analyzed by Tukey's test at 5% and the average for simple correlation was used. The meteorological variables indicated that the animals could present stress by ITU bands that recorded values between 78 and 80 and the shade 99 and 106 to the sun. However, the physiological conditions results showed no significant differences (P> 0.05). Significant differences (P> 0.05) between the means of the animals were observed when the animals in the shade and then returned to the sun. The animals showed significant results (P> 0.05) to return to thermal comfort when, after sun returned to the shadow as verified by TSC with averages of 37ºC in the shade and the sun 39ºC. In addition, correlations between means showed that when the animal featured most TSC and ICT also had higher TR and FR. In most ICT average was 10.17 and 9.7 indicating the lowest adapted to heat. It was concluded from this work that the Senepol breed showed good tolerance to heat and can be a tool for selecting programs as well as in industrial intersections prove adapted to the climatic conditions in Goiás.
aumento na demanda da produção pecuária tem exigido que os animais sejam cada vez mais adaptados as condições adversas do clima para expressar o máximo da genética, nutrição e manejo recebidos. Assim, identificar, mensurar e avaliar animais de raças mais adaptadas é uma vertente a ser explorada. A raça Senepolfoi formada pelas raças britânicas (Red Poll) e africana (N´Dama) com a obtenção de um animal adaptado. Esse trabalho objetivou-se mensurar as variáveis climáticas e fisiológicas para determinar o índice de tolerância ao calor de Novilhos da raça Senepol. Os animais foram submetidos ao teste de capacidade termolítica verificando os mais adaptados ao clima quente. O experimento foi realizado na fazenda Alge Genética no município de Nerópolis – GO, durante meses de verão. Foram utilizados 17 novilhos de idade média de 12 meses analisados ao sol e à sombra durnte 3 dias não consecutivos de primavera e verão. Foi utilizado delineamento inteiramente casualisado e e os dados analisados pelo teste de Tukey a 5% e as médias por correlação simples. As variáveis meteorológicas indicaram que os animais poderiam apresentar estresse pelas faixas de ITU que registraram valores entre 78 e 80 a sombra e 99 e 106 ao sol. No entanto, as condições fisiológicas não apresentaram resultados com diferenças significativas (P>0,05). As diferenças significativas (P>0,05) entre as médias dos animais foram constatadas quando os animais à sombra e depois de retornaram ao Sol. Os animais apresentaram resultados significativos (P>0,05) de retorno ao conforto térmico quando, depois do Sol retornaram à sombra como foi verificado pela TSC com médias à sombra de 37ºC e ao sol de 39ºC. Além disso, as correlações entre as médias mostraram que quando o animal apresetava maior TSC e TIC também apresentava maior TR e FR. No ICT a maior média foi 10,17 e o menor 9,7 indicando adaptação ao calor. Concluiu-se com esse trabalho que a raça Senepol apresentou boa tolerância ao calor e pode ser uma ferramenta para os programas de seleção bem como nos cruzamentos industriais por se mostrarem adaptados as condições climáticas em Goiás.

Full textThe production of broiler chickens is one of the biggest segments in growth in the world. It is an important protein supplier for human consumption, due to its easiness and velocity of production. Owed to this demand, some handling problems occurred and cause the appearance of physiological problems. The most important problems are related with stress, in such a way physicist as psychological. In chapter 1 the alterations in the structures of myofibril and the water distribution in the muscle of broilers caused by acute heat stress in climatic chamber are described. Acute heat stress can change birds physiology and leads to alterations in the colour, water holding capacity and tenderness of meat products, factors that affect consumers purchase decision. The following parameters had been evaluated: hematocrit, plasmatic creatine kinase, weight and yield of carcass, visceras, breast, legs, wings, back and percentage of free water in the breast. It is concluded that the hematocrit and creatine kinase can change due to acute heat stress. The weight of carcass and its parts is not altered. The percentage of free and bound water can change due to acute heat stress.In chapter 2, the structural modifications of the muscular proteins are described. The proteins are responsible for the structure of myofibrils and are related with the physical and biochemists processes which determine the characteristics of the meat product. Acute heat stress (AHS) causes alterations in the properties of myofibrils affecting functional characteristics of the meat, mainly the water holding capacity. The present experiment aimed to identify changes in myofibrillar proteolysis and migration between the myofibrillar and sarcoplasmatic fractions due to pre-slaughter heat stress. The myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), SDS-PAGE of the muscle protein fractions and western blot of vinculin were used. Its concluded that that AHS can be harmful in the process myofibrillar proteolysis. In the SDS-PAGE we observed modifications in sarcoplasmatic fraction, in pale meat, independent of the environmental condition.

Abstract: Com a crise energética na década de 60, varias discussões foram levantadas com o propósito de estimular as edificações a estarem inseridas em um contexto sustentável. As edificações, por serem grandes consumidoras dos recursos naturais, buscam ser mais eficientes energeticamente que outras quando estas proporcionam as mesmas condições ambientais com menor consumo energético. Para tal, a bioclimatologia que relaciona o estudo do clima aplicado à arquitetura, quando focada nas decisões arquitetônicas, torna-se uma excelente ferramenta para se obter valores de consumo energéticos mais baixos. Nas regiões de clima quente úmido, a utilização do peitoril ventilado como estratégia de projeto bioclimático, é uma ferramenta de projeto muito bem aplicada dentro deste conceito. O peitoril ventilado é um dispositivo geralmente executado em concreto, em formato geralmente em "L" invertido, sobreposto a uma abertura localizada no peitoril abaixo das janelas, que tem por finalidade atuar como fonte complementar do movimento de ar proporcionado pelas aberturas. A presença deste elemento nas aberturas das edificações pode proporcionar uma redução do consumo de energia, uma vez que estimula a climatização natural, mas ao mesmo tempo permite a passagem de ruído para o interior das edificações. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar o desempenho acústico de diversos protótipos de peitoril ventilado, utilizados em fachadas como estratégia passiva de projeto bioclimático. Como método de avaliação acústica foi medido o grau de isolamento acústico dos peitoris ventilados através da diferença de nível sonoro padronizado mantendo-se fixa a área de abertura e variando as características construtivas do elemento de fachada investigado. Diante dos diversos materiais construtivos utilizados nos protótipos foi possível verificar significativas alterações na atenuação acústica dos diferentes modelos investigados. Com isto, registra-se que a utilização de uma estratégia passiva de projeto bem aplicada poderá propiciar em melhora nas condições acústica no interior das edificações, estimulando assim a utilização da climatização natural e consequentemente contribuindo para um menor consumo energético.
Abstract: With the energy crisis in the 60s, several discussions have been raised with the intention of stimulating the buildings to be included in a sustainable context. The buildings, being large consumers of natural resources, seek to be more energy efficient than others when they provide the same environmental conditions with lower energy consumption. To this end, the bioclimatology that connects the study of climate applied to architecture, when focused on architectural decisions, it is an excellent tool to obtain values of lower energy consumption. In regions of warm humid climate, the use of ventilated window sill as bioclimatic design strategy is a very well implemented project tool in this concept. The ventilated window sill is a device generally in "L" inverted, made on concrete, overlaid with a sill opening located below the window, mainly act as a supplementary movement of air source provided by openings. The presence of this element in the openings of buildings can provide a reduction in energy consumption since it stimulates the natural climatization, but at the same time allows the passage of noise to the interior of buildings. This work aims to investigate the sound insulation of a wall containing different prototypes of ventilated windows sill commonly used in walls as a passive bioclimatic design. The presence of this element in the openings of buildings can provide a reduction in energy consumption since it stimulates the natural air conditioning, but at the same time allows the passage of noise to the interior of buildings. This work aims to investigate the sound insulation of a wall containing different prototypes of ventilated windows sill commonly used in walls as a passive bioclimatic design. As methodology, different settings of ventilated window sill were inserted in façade of flat opening building but made of different materials. The sound insulation performance of each element used in a façade were compared and analyzed. In preliminary results it was possible to verify changes in acoustic attenuation of different types of ventilated windows sill investigated. That is, records that the use of a passive strategy and implemented the project could offer in improving thermal and acoustic conditions inside the buildings with lower energy consumption.

Full textThe main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of simulated conditions of transport of day-old chicks in the productive and physiological responses. This work was divided into three parts. In the first part, the different thermal conditions compared to the different positions of stacked boxes were studied, and the exposure time was fixed on research. 360 day-old chicks were used in two replicated experiments each. These animals were subjected to three thermal conditions during one hour in a climatic chamber. The animals were kept in transport crates of day-old chicks, totaling 40 animals per box and three boxes stacked all over. For the physiological and productive assessment, it was measured body weight of chicks, respiratory rate, mean surface and cloacal temperature and the mortality was recorded during the experiment. The treatment design was a factorial 3 × 3 (three thermal ranges and 3 crate placement) and the design plot was a randomized block design, with each experiment replicated a block. An analysis of variance was performed followed by Tukey test. In the second part, thermal conditions were compared with the exposure time intervals, also on simulated condition of transportation in a climatic chamber, evaluating physiological responses (respiratory rate, surface and cloacal temperature, and gene expression of HSP70) and productive responses (loss weight and mortality during transport and the day after). For this purpose, 900 day-old chickens were used in this study. Three thermal ranges and three exposure time intervals was assessed. The plot structure adopted in the present study was a randomized design and the treatment structure was a 3 × 3 factorial (three thermal ranges and three time intervals). Statistical analysis was performed using a ANOVA followed by Tukey test. The third part concerns the evaluation of production performance in an experimental poultry facility in the first week of chickens, subjected to different thermal conditions evaluated earlier in the part 2. The animals were housed in an experimental farm for 7 days in 9 experimental boxes, and the distribution followed a sequence of the studied crates placement and heat treatments. To evaluate the performance of the animals it was measured daily in 10 animals per pen the animals\' body weight and mortality was recorded. The plot structure adopted in the present study was a randomized design, using a general linear model with interactions of second order. As results, no significant changes were observed in the placement of the crates. Regarding the duration of exposure to different thermal environments, there was a marked variation in the parameters evaluated after 3 hours. About the influence of simulated transport conditions on growth performance of broiler chicks in first week, there was no clear evidence about this influence on body weight of animals.

Full textAn experiment was realized with the objective of evaluating the effects of cooling the cage floor under the lactating sow on its productive and reproductive performance in conditions of high temperature. Forty crossbred sows (Landrace x Large White) with different parturition orders were used. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized experimental block design, in agreement with the parturition order (1º, 2º, 3º to the 5º and 6º to the 7º) and body weight in two treatments with 20 repetitions, being each animal considered the experimental unit. Treatment 1 corresponded to the cooled floor that was under the sow and the Treatment 2, the witness group (without cooling). The data of the temperature of dry bulb, humidity bulb and black globe were registered in the experimental period and converted in to the index of temperature of black globe and humidity (ITGU), which was used to characterize the thermal environment in which the sows were maintained. The duration of the lactation was of 21 days, and during this period the sows were fed ad libitum with a same diet. It was observed effect (P<0.01) of the treatments on the performance of the sows. The sows submitted to Treatment 1 showed larger (P<0.01) feed intake (6.474 x 5.605 kg/day). Although the females maintained on the cooled floor showed a larger feed intake they also showed a larger loss (P<0.01) of body weight and of corporal protein during the lactation, this fact can probably be attributed to the increase on the milk production capacity. The intake of 61.5 and 53.2 g of daily lysine by the sows fed with the experimental diet, attended to the minimum value of 46 g/day necessary for sows to show minimum of weight loss during the lactation without compromising its performance and the litter s performance. It was also observed difference (P<0.01) among the treatments for the physiologic parameters, with the animals submitted to the cooled floor presenting smaller values in all the evaluated variables (rectal temperature, superficial temperatures and respiratory frequency). The sows maintained on the cooled floor had an increase (P<0.01) on there milk production, consequently, this increase influenced the larger weight gain of the piglets and the litter, as also it was observed smallest (P<0.01) number of days to return to estrus after weaning. It was concluded that cooling the floor under the lactating sow, improves its productive and reproductive performance as well as the performance of its litter.
Foi realizado um experimento com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos do resfriamento do piso da maternidade sobre o desempenho produtivo e reprodutivo da porca lactante durante o verão. Utilizaram-se 40 porcas mestiças Landrace x Large White de diferentes ordens de parto. Os animais foram distribuídos em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, de acordo com a ordem de parto (1º, 2º, 3º ao 5º e 6º ao 7º) e o peso corporal, em dois tratamentos com 20 repetições, sendo cada animal considerado a unidade experimental. O Tratamento 1 correspondeu ao resfriamento do piso da maternidade que fica sob a porca e o Tratamento 2, ao grupo-testemunha (sem resfriamento). Os valores de temperatura de bulbo seco, bulbo úmido e globo negro foram registrados durante o período experimental e convertidos no índice de temperatura de globo negro e umidade (ITGU), que foi usado para caracterizar o ambiente térmico em que as porcas foram mantidas. A duração da lactação foi de 21 dias, e durante esse período as porcas foram alimentadas ad libitum com uma mesma ração. Observou-se efeito (P<0,01) dos tratamentos sobre o desempenho das porcas, em que aquelas mantidas no piso resfriado apresentaram maior (P<0,01) consumo de ração (6,474 x 5,605 kg/dia). Apesar do maior consumo de ração, as fêmeas mantidas em piso resfriado sofreram maior perda (P<0,01) de peso e de proteína corporal durante a lactação, fato atribuído provavelmente ao aumento da capacidade de produção de leite. Os consumos de 61,5 e 53,2 g de lisina diários pelas porcas alimentadas com a ração experimental atenderam ao valor mínimo de 46 g/dia para que porcas apresentem mínima perda de peso durante a lactação, sem comprometimento do seu desempenho e de sua leitegada. Os tratamentos influenciaram (P<0,01), também, os parâmetros fisiológicos dos animais submetidos ao piso resfriado, exibindo menores valores em todas as variáveis avaliadas (temperatura retal, temperaturas superficiais e freqüência respiratória). As porcas mantidas em piso resfriado apresentaram aumento (P<0,01) da produção de leite e, conseqüentemente, maior ganho de peso dos leitões e da leitegada, bem como menor (P<0,01) número de dias para o retorno do cio fértil após a desmama. Concluiu-se que o resfriamento do piso da maternidade melhora o desempenho produtivo e reprodutivo da porca em lactação, bem como o desempenho de sua leitegada.

Full textObjetivou-se, por meio desta pesquisa, avaliar os aspectos de ambiência, o comportamento e o bem-estar de vacas leiteiras em sistema compost barn nas diferentes estações do ano. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em um compost barn de propriedade particular, no interior do município de Dois Vizinhos, Paraná. A pesquisa foi realizada em dois períodos distintos nos quais foram registradas as mesmas variáveis. Os meses quentes (setembro 2015 a fevereiro 2016) correspondem ao capítulo I e os meses frios (abril a junho de 2016) ao capítulo II. Foram utilizadas vacas mestiças (holandês x Jersey) em lactação, distribuídas em dois tratamentos de acordo com a ordem de lactação: primíparas e multíparas. Foram aferidas as seguintes variáveis microclimáticas: temperaturas do ar, superficial da cama e do interior da cama, umidade relativa do ar e velocidade do vento. Para avaliar a termorregulação das vacas, aferiu-se a temperatura superficial (TMS) e a frequência respiratória (FR). As variáveis microclimáticas e a termorregulação animal foram avaliadas em faixas de horários. O comportamento diurno foi avaliado entre os horários das ordenhas a partir de um etograma composto por comportamentos distintos. O bem-estar animal foi avaliado por meio de escores de higiene e claudicação. No que se referem à análise estatística, os dados microclimáticos foram analisados descritivamente. Para as variáveis termorregulatórias, ajustou-se um modelo misto e, posteriormente, foram submetidas à análise de variância e teste de Tukey ao nível de significância de 5%. O comportamento animal foi analisado por meio de inferência bayesiana, com modelo de efeitos mistos. Para análise dos dados do bem-estar animal utilizou-se o teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon. O processamento de dados e as análises estatísticas foram realizados por meio do software estatístico R. A temperatura do ar no ambiente no compost barn apresentou valores acima do ambiente externo em todas as estações. A temperatura interna da cama variou de 36 a 36,7 °C nos meses quentes e 23,6 a 25 °C nos meses frios. Nos meses quentes houve diferença entre as faixas de horário e tratamentos, em relação à FR e TMS. A FR foi de 54 e 58 mov./min., para primíparas e multíparas, respectivamente. O comportamento foi influenciado pelo manejo da propriedade, horas do dia e condições climáticas em todas as estações do ano. Nos meses quentes, os comportamentos de ofego e cabeçada diferiram entre os tratamentos e nos meses frios apenas o comportamento de andar. Os escores de higiene e claudicação apresentaram frequência absoluta mais elevada para os escores 1 e 2, para todas as estações. Os resultados encontrados nesta pesquisa indicam os aspectos de ambiência relacionados com o conforto térmico ficaram acima da zona de conforto de bovinos no período da tarde nos meses quentes e nos meses frios permaneceram dentro da zona de conforto. O comportamento das vacas primíparas e multíparas foi semelhante, apresentando diferença apenas na atividade ofego e empurrar, e andar. O compost barn proporcionou condições de conforto em relação aos aspectos da cama, possibilitando que as vacas demonstrassem um elevado nível de bem-estar animal.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the environment aspects, behavior and welfare of dairy cows in the compost bedded pack barns system in different seasons of the year. The research was conducted in a compost barn private property, at Dois Vizinhos city, Paraná state, Brazil. The research was carried out in two different periods in which the same variables were recorded. The warm months (September 2015 to February 2016) correspond to Chapter I and the cold months (April to June 2016), Chapter II. Crossbreed (Holstein x Jersey) and lactating cows were distributed into two treatments according to the order of lactation: primiparous and multiparous. The following microclimatic variables were measured: air, bed surface and bed interior temperature, air relative humidity and wind speed. To evaluate the thermoregulation of cows, the mean surface temperature (MST) and the respiratory rate (RR) were measured. The microclimatic variables and the animal thermoregulation were evaluated in specific hours. The diurnal behavior was evaluated between milking schedules from an etogram composed of different behaviors. Animal welfare was analyzed by means of hygiene scores and claudication. Regarding the statistical analysis, the microclimatic data were analyzed descriptively. For the thermoregulatory variables, a mixed model was fitted and, afterwards, they were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey's test at a significance level of 5%. Animal behavior was analyzed using Bayesian inference, with a mixed effects model. Wilcoxon's non-parametric test was used to analyze the animal welfare data. Data processing and statistical analyzes were performed using statistical software R. The ambient air temperature in the compost bedded pack barns presented values above the external environment in all seasons. The internal temperature of bed varied from 36 to 36,7 °C during hot months and 23,6 to 25 °C in cold months. Regarding hot months there was a difference between hours and treatments, in relation to the RR and MST. The RR was 54 and 58 mov./min. for primiparous and multiparous, respectively. The behavior was influenced by property management, times of day and climatic conditions in all seasons. In hot months, breathing and butt behaviors differed between treatments and in cold months only walking behavior. The hygiene scores and claudication presented higher absolute frequency for scores 1 and 2, for all seasons. The results found in this research indicate the environment aspects related to thermal comfort were above the comfort zone of cattle in the afternoon in hot months and in cold months remained within the comfort zone. The behavior of the primiparous and multiparous cows was similar, presenting only difference in the activity of breath and push, and gait. Compost bedded pack barns system provided comfort conditions in relation to the aspects of the bed, allowing the cows to demonstrate a high level of animal welfare.

Buscou-se a partir do monitoramento de varáveis ambientais avaliar o conforto térmico no interior de habitações em função do padrão construtivo e de suas disposições no espaço físico geográfico e urbano. A metodologia seguida na proposta de pesquisa permitiu que a favela selecionada para tal estudo fosse a Favela de Lona, situada no Bairro Eustáquio Gomes, no Município de Maceió, no Estado de Alagoas, por apresentar particularidades no arranjo de suas habitações e também no perfil construtivo destas, além de suas disposições no espaço urbano improvisado, vindo a se mostrar como cenário urbano segregado quando comparado com seu entorno imediato. Foram selecionadas duas habitações de lona preta e uma de alvenaria de padrão construtiva convencional, situada próxima as habitações de favela, não sendo esta terceira considerada típica de favela. Nelas foram instaladas em seus interiores dataloggers, que permitiram no período de 01 a 31/03/2007, coletar dados de temperaturas e umidade relativa do ar internas que permitissem entender a dinâmica evolutiva de seus microclimas internos, sendo complementado a esse estudo as temperaturas coletadas no exterior destas, dados meteorológicos relativos à cidade de Maceió oriundos da Estação Meteorológica do Aeroporto Zumbi dos Palmares, em Maceió. E também do abrigo instalado no exterior das habitações analisadas. Segundo os dados conclusivos: todas as habitações se apresentaram níveis de conforto num patamar que indicavam inexistência de qualquer tipo de conforto, a habitação de alvenaria apresentou um isolamento térmico maior comparado com as habitações totalmente de lona plástica preta e a de lona preta e coberta por telhas de amianto, isto é, menos vulnerável à variação térmica externa, devido a maior resistência térmica dos materiais constituintes desta tipologia, em contrapartida, a habitação constituída totalmente de lona preta apresentou níveis críticos de muito desconforto e intolerável a habitabilidade em mais de 75% das horas analisadas devido a ineficiência do arranjo e configuração arquitetônica, baixa inércia e resistência térmica e forma de uso que tornava a habitação com o perfil de estufa, por confinar o ar quente em seu interior. A habitação 2, de lona preta e coberta por telhas de amianto, apresentou-se desconfortável, mas, menos desconfortável se comparada com a revestida totalmente de lona preta, visto que a mesma tirou proveito da orientação geográfica, do uso de vegetação em seu entorno, da inexistência de paredes internas proporcionando a existência da ventilação cruzada, uso de papelão sobreposto as faces internas das paredes vindo a conferir uma inércia térmica maior se comparado com a habitação 1 e um retardo térmico de seus materiais construtivos, sendo esta edificação mais tolerável a habitabilidade. Espera-se que em pesquisas posterior a esta, possa-se utilizar outros parâmetros meteorológicos e outras diversidades de habitações constituídas de materiais construtivos com características distintas e a utilização de instrumentos de coletas mais sofisticados, que permitam representar fielmente e interpretar a situação real das dinâmicas evolutivas dos microclimas internos e externos das habitações alvo da pesquisa, a ponto de poder intervir no espaço construído e habitado de forma a garantir níveis de conforto aos seus usuários.

Full textCordeirópolis é uma cidade com aproximadamente 20.000, localizada em meio a Depressão Periférica Paulista, uma das regiões com umidade relativa do ar mais baixas do estado de São Paulo durante a estação de inverno. Por outro lado, a cidade também conta com uma série de problemas socioambientais, como a exploração indiscriminada dos recursos naturais e os baixos níveis educacionais apresentados pela população local, colocando em risco a qualidade de vida dos habitantes. Diante dos fatos, buscou-se estabelecer relações entre os diferentes tipos de tempo atmosférico e as doenças cardiorrespiratórias, considerando que as variações do tempo atmosférico tendem a desencadear uma série de reações no organismo humano, causando ou agravando um emaranhado de sintomas, enfermidades e mudanças no quadro clínico de saúde da população. Também foi possível identificar os grupos de risco e mapear as áreas mais vulneráveis e o local de residência dos pacientes portadores de enfermidades ligadas ao sistema circulatório e respiratório atendidos pelo Programa Saúde da Família, servindo de contribuição para que o poder público possa pensar novas diretrizes que sejam ecologicamente, social e economicamente mais viáveis e justas
Cordeirópolis is a small town with approximately 20,000 inhabitants and is located in the midst of the Depressão Periférica Paulista, one of the driest regions of the state of São Paulo during the winter season. On the other hand, the city is among the largest and most important deposits of clay, which explains its economic vocation, aimed mainly to the production of ceramic artifacts and agriculture of sugar cane. Despite being part of the largest ceramic center in Latin America,and although the ceramic industries as well as the sugar industry are the main sources of income of the municipality, the city has a number of socio-environmental problems, such as the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources and low levels of education provided by the local population, threatening the quality of life for residents. Given the above facts, we sought to establish relationships between different types of weather and cardiopulmonary diseases, considering that variations in the weather tend to trigger a series of reactions in the human body, causing or exacerbating a tangle of symptoms, diseases changes in clinical and population health. By the way, were collected, processed and organized weather data on precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and air quality standard, and was then correlated with the information collected by the Hospital Health System (SIH-SUS), referring to the monthly number of patients hospitalized for some kind of cardiopulmonary disease. Through the questionnaires it was possible to identify risk groups and map the area’s most vulnerable and place of residence of patients with diseases related to circulatory and respiratory system served by the Family Health Program, serving as a contribution to the local government can think of new guidelines that are environmentally, socially and economically more viable and fair

Resumo: O aumento de produção que levou o Brasil a ocupar a posição de segundo maior produtor de frangos de corte do mundo se deve a intensificação de criação. Essa intensificação teve como base vários aspectos que foram cuidadosamente controlados, dentre eles a nutrição e o manejo (sistemas de criação, ambiência, sanidade etc). Atualmente o que se observa em várias partes do mundo é a tendência em produzir frangos de corte, com bem estar animal. Paralelamente no Brasil, vem ressurgindo em nova versão a criação de frangos caipiras. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar índices zootécnicos obtidos durante a produção de dois sistemas de frango de corte em escala comercial (In situ), um intensivo, convencional (granja A) e outro semi-extensivo, caipira (granja B), para verificar as inter-relações entre bem-estar animal, manejo, saúde animal e qualidade da carne. Na granja A foram alojados 14000 pintos enquanto que na granja B foram 7150. Observou-se que frangos da granja A apresentaram mais problemas locomotores: calos de pés, discondroplasia tibial quando comparados com frangos provenientes da granja B. Os frangos da granja A apresentaram alta prevalência de necrose da cabeça do fêmur, melhor conversão alimentar e ganho de peso, embora tenham apresentado maior mortalidade A e B, foram respectivamente 5,32 e 1,34%. Quanto a Salmonella sp. e Mycoplasma sp. não houve presença de frangos reagentes nas duas granjas. Quanto à qualidade da carne em termos físico-químicos, o pH do peito apresentou-se menor significativamente para carcaças de frangos provenientes da granja A, enquanto o pH da coxa não apresentou diferença significativa. A força de cisalhamento da carne de frango proveniente da granja A apresentou-se menor, quando comparada à de carcaças de frangos da granja B (1,972 para carcaças de A e 2,462 para as de B). A capacidade de retenção de água não diferiu entre as carcaçaa provenientes das granjas. Em termos microbiológicos a Salmonella sp. não foi encontrada em nenhuma carcaça de frango, embora a Listeria sp. tenha sido encontrada em 50% das carcaças analisadas. Os frangos da granja B estiveram em melhores condições de bem-estar animal. Com base nesses resultados foi possível estimar que os índices zootécnicos da granja A foram melhores que os da granja B, entretanto os problemas locomotores foram maiores nos frangos provenientes da granja A
Abstract: The increase in production technology was the major factor that lead Brazil to be the second largest world poultry producer. This production technology had the basis several aspects that were carefully controlled, among them nutrition and management (environment, health and rearing systems). Nowadays it is observed a world¿s tendency to produce animal searching good welfare conditions. In parallel in Brazil is growing a new version of extensive produced broilers (free-range broiler). The objective of this study was to evaluate the production indexes from two distinct industrial scale broiler productions (in situ): one intensive (farm A) and other semi-extensive (farm B) for verifying the inter-relations among welfare, management, health and meat quality (14000 broilers in farm A and 7150 broilers in farm B). It was observed that birds from farm A showed more leg weakness (foot burn and tibial dyschondroplasia) when compared with broiler from farm B. The broilers from farm A presented high prevalence of femur necrosis, higher feed conversion, and higher gain weight, although they had presented higher mortality (5,32 in farm A and 1,34% in farm B.). Regarding Salmonella sp and Mycoplasma sp it was not found serological reagent birds in neither of the studied farms. Regarding meat quality (in the physical chemistry analysis) the breast meat pH from farm A¿s birds presented values significantly smaller than the bird¿s carcass from farm B. The shearing force on meat from broiler reared at farm A were smaller than the ones from birds reared at farm B (1,972 farm A e 2,462 farm B).. Water holding capacity did not differ from the carcasses from both farms. In microbiological terms Samonella sp was not found the studied carcasses, however Listeria sp was found in 50% of the analyzed carcasses. About welfare conditions broilers from farm B were better. Based on these results it was possible to estimate that production index was better in farm A than in farm B, however leg weakness problems were higher in broilers from farm B

Full textEste trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de verificar o desempenho bioeconÃmico e adaptabilidade fisiolÃgica de ovinos alimentados com dietas contendo diferentes fontes protÃicas alternativas na raÃÃo concentrada em substituiÃÃo ao farelo de soja. Utilizaram-se trÃs diferentes fontes protÃicas alternativas na raÃÃo concentrada em substituiÃÃo ao farelo de soja: feno do folÃolo da leucena (FFL), urÃia (ambas substituindo 100% do farelo de soja) e torta de algodÃo (substituindo em 51,8%, com base na matÃria seca). Foi avaliado o peso final (kg), o ganho de peso total (GPT), ganho mÃdio diÃrio (GMD) e o nÃmero de dias para os borregos ganharem 12 kg (D12). Para uma avaliaÃÃo detalhada do desenvolvimento corporal dos ovinos, semanalmente foram feitas mediÃÃes morfomÃtricas nos animais, nas diferentes partes do corpo, como perÃmetro torÃcico (PT), altura da cernelha (AC), altura da garupa (AG), comprimento corpÃreo (CC), comprimento da garupa (CG) e escore de condiÃÃo corporal (ECC). A avaliaÃÃo comportamental foi realizada de modo instantÃneo a intervalos de 10 minutos (ingestÃo de raÃÃo, ruminaÃÃo, outras atividades, Ãcio acordado ou dormindo, durante as 24 horas). AlÃm disso, no intervalo entre duas observaÃÃes, foi acompanhada a freqÃÃncia de defecaÃÃo, micÃÃo e ingestÃo de Ãgua. Para a anÃlise das variÃveis bioclimatolÃgicas, durante o perÃodo experimental foram coletadas a cada hora, no intervalo de 7h Ãs 19h, temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, utilizando-se data logger. O consumo de matÃria natural do lote (CMN) foi calculado como sendo a diferenÃa entre o alimento fornecido e as sobras coletadas no dia seguinte para cada baia, o consumo de matÃria seca (CMS) foi obtido multiplicando o CMN pela respectiva matÃria seca da raÃÃo fornecida. A temperatura da superfÃcie do pelame dos borregos foi coletada em dois dias da semana, no perÃodo da manhà (07:30) e tarde (14:00), com auxÃlio de um termÃmetro de infravermelho. As anÃlises econÃmicas dos diferentes sistemas foram realizadas com base em simulaÃÃes utilizando um nÃmero de duzentos borregos por lote. Ao analisar a variÃvel peso final (kg), pode-se verificar que os borregos alimentados com a raÃÃo que utilizava a torta de algodÃo em substituiÃÃo parcial ao farelo de soja (51,8% da matÃria seca) foram os que obtiveram maiores peso final, ganhos de peso total e ganhos mÃdios diÃrios (g/d), aliado a um menor nÃmero de dias para um ganho de 12 kg (D12). No tocante as medidas morfomÃtricas, os borregos alimentados com a dieta que utilizava a torta de algodÃo obtiveram as melhores medidas tanto no perÃmetro torÃcico quanto no escore de condiÃÃo corporal. No que diz respeito ao comportamento animal, ao analisar as variÃveis contÃnuas em % total do dia, pode-se observar nas variÃveis ingerindo raÃÃo e Ãcio dormindo, que nÃo existiu diferenÃa (P>0,05) entre as diferentes fontes protÃicas alternativas analisadas, entretanto nas demais variÃveis houve diferenÃa (P<0,05) entre as diferentes fontes protÃicas. No que diz respeito Ãs atividades pontuais, pode-se verificar diferenÃa (P<0,05) entre as diferentes fontes protÃicas analisadas, nas atividades urinando e defecando, sendo as maiores frequÃncias observadas nos borregos alimentados com o farelo de soja e feno do folÃolo da leucena para as respectivas atividades. O CMN e CMS foram diretamente influenciados pela temperatura e umidade relativa da manhÃ, umidade relativa da tarde e do dia. O consumo de Ãgua foi influenciado pelas temperaturas da manhÃ, do perÃodo crÃtico, do perÃodo da tarde e da temperatura diÃria, bem como pelas umidades relativas do perÃodo crÃtico, do perÃodo da tarde e da umidade relativa diÃria. No tocante as temperaturas da superfÃcie do pelame, as mesmas foram influenciadas diretamente por todas as variÃveis climÃticas analisadas. A temperatura retal foi influenciada somente pelas temperaturas e umidades relativas do ar no perÃodo de mediÃÃo. A temperatura da bolsa escrotal nÃo foi influenciada pelas variÃveis climÃticas. O maior valor de manutenÃÃo da atividade foi observado no sistema onde os borregos foram alimentados com dieta contendo torta de algodÃo. No que diz respeito aos indicadores econÃmicos, o lucro da atividade em R$/kg PV foi maior no confinamento que utilizou a torta de algodÃo como fonte protÃica na raÃÃo concentrada (R$ 0,76/kg PV), seguido pelos que utilizaram farelo de soja (R$ 0,64/kg PV), urÃia (R$ 0,33/kg PV) e feno do folÃolo da leucena (R$ 0,21/kg PV). De acordo com as diferentes anÃlises econÃmicas e de investimentos realizadas, pode-se concluir que a torta de algodÃo substituindo o farelo de soja em 51,8% à a alternativa alimentar mais atrativa, pois permite uma maior oscilaÃÃo do preÃo de venda do quilograma do peso vivo do borrego em relaÃÃo Ãs demais fontes protÃicas analisadas, o que permite ao produtor se adequar a uma maior elasticidade do preÃo de venda deste produto no mercado sem causar prejuÃzos ao produtor
To verify the bioeconomic performance and physiological adaptability of sheep fed diets containing alternative protein sources in the concentrate as a replacement for soybean meal, this study was conducted. Were used three different alternative protein sources in concentrate in replacement of soybean meal: Leucaena leucocephala leaflet hay (HLL), urea (replacing both 100% of soybean meal) and cottonseed cake, replacing in 51.8% (on a dry matter basis). Was evaluated the finale weight (kg), the total weight gain, average daily gain and the number of days for the lamb gain 12 kg. For a detailed assessment of body development of sheep, weekly morphometric measurements were made in animals, in different parts of the body, as thoracic perimeter, back height, height of the croup, body length, length of the croup and body condition score. The behavioral assessment was conducted instantaneously at intervals of ten minutes (feed intake, rumination, other activities, leisure awake or sleeping, during 24 hours). Besides this, in the interval between two observations, was accompanied the frequency of defecation, urination and water intake. For the analysis of variables bioclimatology, during the experimental period were collected each hour, in the range of 7 a.m until 7 p.m, ambient temperature and relative humidity, using data logger. The natural matter intake of the lot (NMI) was calculated as the difference between the provided and collected the remains the next day for each bay, the dry matter intake (DMI) was obtained multiplying the NMI by their dry matter of feed. The surface temperature of the coat of lambs was collected in two days of the week, in the morning (07:30 a.m) and afternoon (02:00 p.m), with the aid of an infrared thermometer. The economic analyses of the different systems were conducted based on simulations using a number of two hundred animals per batch. When analyzing the finale weight (kg), can verify that the lambs that were fed with the ration which used cottonseed cake in partial replacement to soybean meal (51.8% of dry matter) were who obtained a higher finale weight, total weight gain and average daily gain, combined with a smaller number of days to gain total of 12 kg. Regarding the morphometric measurements, the lambs fed with the diet which used cottonseed cake obtained the best measures both the thoracic perimeter as body condition score. With regard to animal behavior, when looking at continuous variables in % of total days, can observe the variables ingesting food and leisure sleeping, that there was no difference (P>0.05) between different alternative protein sources analyzed, however there was a difference (P<0.05) in other variables between different protein sources. Regarding to punctual activities, can be verified difference (P<0.05) between different protein sources analyzed, in the activities urinating and defecating, and the higher frequency observed in lambs fed with soybean meal and hay of the leaflet of Leucaena for their respective activities. The NMI and DMI were directly influenced by temperature and relative humidity in the morning, and relative humidity in the afternoon and the day. Water consumption was influenced by temperatures in the morning, the critical period, in the afternoon and the daily temperature, as well as the relative humidity of critical period, of the afternoon and the daily relative humidity. Regarding the coat surface temperature, they were influenced directly for all climatic variables analyzed. Rectal temperature was influenced only by temperature and relative humidity in the measurement period. The temperature of the scrotum was not influenced by climatic variables. Regarding to economic indicators, the profit activity in R$/kg PV was higher in the confinement that used cottonseed meal showed as protein source in the concentrate (R$ 0.76/kg PV), followed by those who used soybean meal (R$ 0.64/kg PV), urea (R$ 0.33/kg PV) and hay of leaves of leucaena (R$ 0.21/kg PV). According to the different economic analysis and of investments conducted, can conclude that the cottonseed meal replacing soybean meal in 51.8% was the production system which was more attractive, it allows a greater swing of the selling price of kilograms of live weight of lamb compared to other protein sources studied, which allows the producer to suit a greater elasticity of sales price this product in the market without causing damages to producer.

This research aimed to investigate the influence of sheep’s coat color on heat toleranceftorage, intake during the and performance of Santa Inês breed. The experiment was conducted in summer season at the Agreste region of Pernambuco State, Brazil.It was used a split-plot amangement in a complete randomized experimental design for the following response variables: retal temperature, respiration rate, body surface and skyn temperature. These measurements were performed both during the morning and afternoon. Sweating rate was measured in the afternoon. Heat tolerance index of the animals was avaliated weekely in a completel randomized design. Forage intake was estimated. The environment was monitorated daily by a meteorological station installed close to the experimental paddock and the thermal confort index was calculated. White sheeps showed a small superiority their heat tolerance than the others but his performance did not differ from sheep with chestnut and black hair coat colors.
Os objetivos deste trabalho foram verificar a influência da cor do pelame na tolerância ao calor, consumo a pasto e ganho de peso de ovinos da raça Santa Inês de três diferentes cores de pelame (branca, castanha e preta). O experimento foi conduzido de janeiro a março de 2008 na Fazenda Riachão, localizada no município de Sairé, região agreste de Pernambuco. Os parâmetros fisiológicos temperatura retal (TR), frequência respiratória (FR), temperatura de pele (TPL) e temperatura da superfície do pelame (TSP), foram avaliados duas vezes por semana nos períodos da manhã e tarde durante oito semanas em esquema de parcela sub-subdividida. A taxa de sudação foi mensurada à tarde, uma vez a cada semana em esquema de parcela subdividida. O índice de tolerância ao calor dos animais foi avaliado uma vez por semana durante oito semanas com três tratamentos e sete repetições. Estimou-se o consumo a pasto e o ganho de peso foi avaliado por intermédio de pesagens semanais durante todo o período experimental. O ambiente foi monitorado diariamente por intermédio de uma estação meteorológica instalada ao lado do piquete experimental e índices de conforto foram calculados. O delineamento experimental nos três estudos foi inteiramente casualizado. Ovinos brancos apresentaram pequena superioridade na tolerância ao calor que os castanhos e pretos, mas isso não se refletiu no desempenho produtivo dos animais.

Full textThe objectives of this study were: to review literature on the concepts of plant phenology, focusing on tree phenology work performed in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in chapter I follow the vegetative and reproductive phenology of 20 species native tree of the state of Rio Grande do Sul - RS existing at the Botanical Garden of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - UFSM and associating the phenological events observed with the astronomical and meteorological variables (day length) and Chapter II, set up a schedule using phenological phenophases of twenty different native species of Rio Grande do Sul - RS. The plant phenology is an ecological study that accompanies the repetitive events of plants for a minimum period of one year. Generally, the data are divided into vegetative growth stages: mature leaves, leaf fall and flushing, and reproduction: flowering (flower buds and flowering) and fruit (green fruit / immature and mature fruit), and gain more importance when related to meteorological variables and climatic conditions. The twenty species selected were: Lithraea molleoides (Vell.) Engler, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos, Cordia americana (L.) Gottschling & J.S.Mill., Sebastiania commersoniana (Baill.) L.B. SM. & Downs, Albizia niopoides (Benth) Killip ex, Enterolobium contortisiliquun (Vell.) Morong, Inga uruguensis Hook. & Arn., Parapiptadenia rigida (Benth.) Brenan, Luehea divaricata Mart., Myrsine coriacea (Sw.) R.Br. ex Roem. & Schult., Blepharocalyx salicifolius (Kunth) O. Berg, Eugenia uniflora L., Myrciaria tenella (DC.) O.Berg., Prunus myrtifolia (L.) Urb., Zanthoxylum rhoifolium Lam., Helietta apiculata Benth., Casearia sylvestris Sw., Allophylus edulis (A. St.-Hil., Cambess. & A. Juss.) Radlk. e Cupania vernalis Cambess. The methodology was based on direct observations and biweekly during the period of the August/2010 agosto/2011. The stages of budding, leaf fall, flowering (anthesis and button) and fruit (green fruit / immature and mature fruit) were observed in 4-10 randomly selected individuals for each species. The stages were associated with meteorological variables (precipitation and air temperature) and variable astronomical (day length) obtained from the Meteorological Station of UFSM. Data analysis was performed using the phenological activity index (presence / absence) and the Index of Fournier. Based on the results, schedules were developed vegetative and reproductive phenology (flowering and fruiting). In vegetative phenology was observed that the budding was constant throughout the observation period, the leaf fall, more pronounced in autumn and winter, and mature leaves with full photosynthetic capacity peaked in spring and summer and in winter with a reduction of almost 50%. In the largest reproductive phenology of flowering peaks were observed in spring and early summer and fruiting occurred mainly in summer and early fall. The length of day and air temperature correlated significantly with both clones, however, these were not significant with the rainfall. Thus, the results of the vegetative and reproductive phenological calendars of tree species were similar to those mentioned in the literature.
Os objetivos, neste trabalho, foram: realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os conceitos da fenologia vegetal, com enfoque em trabalhos de fenologia arbórea realizados no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil; no capítulo I, acompanhar a fenologia vegetativa e reprodutiva de 20 espécies arbóreas nativas do estado do Rio Grande do Sul RS existentes no Jardim Botânico da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - UFSM e associar os eventos fenológicos observados com as variáveis meteorológicos e astronômica (comprimento do dia); e capítulo II, montar um calendário fenológico utilizando as fenofases das vinte diferentes espécies arbóreas nativas do estado do Rio Grande do Sul - RS. A fenologia vegetal é um estudo ecológico que acompanha os eventos repetitivos das plantas por um tempo mínimo de um ano. Geralmente, os dados fenológicos são divididos em vegetativos: folhas maduras, queda foliar e brotamento; e reprodutivos: floração (botão floral e antese) e frutificação (fruto verde/imaturo e fruto maduro), e ganham mais importância, quando relacionados com variáveis meteorológicas e climatológicas. A vinte espécies selecionadas, foram: Lithraea molleoides (Vell.) Engler, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos, Cordia americana (L.) Gottschling & J.S.Mill., Sebastiania commersoniana (Baill.) L.B. SM. & Downs, Albizia niopoides (Benth) Killip ex, Enterolobium contortisiliquun (Vell.) Morong, Inga uruguensis Hook. & Arn., Parapiptadenia rigida (Benth.) Brenan, Luehea divaricata Mart., Myrsine coriacea (Sw.) R.Br. ex Roem. & Schult., Blepharocalyx salicifolius (Kunth) O.

St.-Hil., Cambess. & A. Juss.) Radlk. e Cupania vernalis Cambess. A metodologia utilizada foi a de observações diretas e quinzenais, no período de agosto/2010 a agosto/2011. As fenofases de brotamento, queda foliar, floração (botão e antese) e frutificação (fruto verde/imaturo e fruto maduro) foram observadas em 4-10 indivíduos selecionados aleatoriamente para cada espécie. As fenofases foram associadas com variáveis meteorológicas (precipitação pluviométrica e temperatura do ar) e variável astronômica (comprimento do dia) obtidos na Estação Meteorológica da UFSM. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do índice de atividade fenológica (ausência/presença) e do Índice de Fournier. Com base nos resultados, foram elaborados calendários fenológicos vegetativo e reprodutivo (floração e frutificação). Na fenologia vegetativa observou-se que o brotamento foi constante em todo tempo de observação; a queda foliar, mais acentuada no outono e inverno; e as folhas maduras com plena capacidade fotossintética apresentaram picos na primavera e verão e com uma redução no inverno de quase 50%. Na fenologia reprodutiva os maiores picos de floração foram observados na primavera e início do verão e a frutificação ocorreu principalmente no verão e início do outono. O comprimento do dia e a temperatura do ar correlacionam-se significativamente com as fenofases, entretanto, estas não foram significativas com a precipitação pluviométrica. Assim, os resultados dos calendários fenológicos vegetativo e reprodutivo das espécies arbóreas foram semelhantes àqueles mencionados na literatura.

Heat stress is one of the most important factors with negative impact on the animal productivity in tropical countries. This longitudinal study was designed to describe the physiological response and the metabolic profile of Girolando (Holsteins X Gir, 3/4, 5/8 and 7/8) cows raised in a tropical region during the transition and voluntary waiting period (VWP). Twenty cows were selected using the following criteria: well distributed black and white coat, parity between two and seven, milk yeld between 18 and 22 L / day. The temperature-humidity index (THI) and black globe temperature and humidity index (BGT) of the micro environment were measured daily. Cows were clinically evaluated and submitted to blood collection in intervals distributed between three weeks before parturition until 60 days after calving (12 evaluations / cow). Physical examination included rectal temperature (RT), heart and respiratory rate (HR and RR) measured in the morning (6-8h) and afternoon (14-16h). RT and RR were used to calculate the Benezra Comfort Index (BCI). Metabolic profile was assessed by measurement of glucose, non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), βhydroxybutyrate (βHBA), triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, total serum protein, albumin, immune globulin, urea, creatinine, AST, GGT, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. From 8-16h, throughout all the evaluation period, the average values of THI ranged from 73.5 and 78.7 and BGHI between 81.8 and 88.2. The variables HR, RR, RT and BCI differ (P <0.05) between morning and afternoon throughout the study period. Means glucose concentrations were similar in antepartum, decreased on the day of calving, reaching the lowest concentration on the 5th day postpartum. NEFA’s highest value was found on the day of parturition, and decreased, while βHBA decreased until the week before calving and increased on the calving day and after. The concentrations of triglycerides decreased, but cholesterol and HDL increased from the calving day. Total protein concentrations and immunoglobulin decreased from the second antepartum week and increased from the 2nd day postpartum. Urea increased on the week close to calving, but creatinine decreased postpartum. AST and GGT reached the highest value in the beginning of the postpartum period. Ca and P showed lower values on the calving day and Mg decreased during the early postpartum period, returning to the previous levels on the 10th day postpartum. In conclusion, thermal conditions and physiological differences during transition and VWP influence the evaluation of physical and metabolic variables.
O estresse térmico é um dos mais importantes fatores que influenciam negativamente a produtividade animal, em países de clima tropical. Esse estudo observacional longitudinal foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de descrever a resposta fisiológica e o perfil metabólico de vacas Girolando, criadas em região de clima tropical, durante os períodos de transição e espera voluntário. Foram avaliadas 20 vacas da raça Girolando, com grau de sangue 3/4, 5/8 e 7/8, pelagem preta e branca, entre duas e sete lactações e produção de 18 a 22 L/dia. O índice de temperatura e umidade (THI) e o índice de temperatura de globo e umidade (ITGU) do microclima da propriedade foram mensurados diariamente. As vacas foram avaliadas clinicamente e submetidas a colheita de sangue em intervalos de tempo distribuídos entre as três semanas antes do parto até o 60º dia pós-parto, perfazendo o total de 12 avaliações/vaca. Nos dias de avaliação, a Temperatura Retal, Frequência Cardíaca e Frequência Respiratória (TR, FC e FR) eram aferidas de manhã (6-8h) e a tarde (14-16h). A TR e FR foram utilizadas para cálculo do Índice de Conforto de Benezra (ICB) e o perfil metabólico foi avaliado pela mensuração das concentrações de glicose, ácido graxos não esterificado (AGNE), β hidroxibutirato (βHB), triglicerídeos, colesterol, HDL, proteína sérica total, albumina, imunoglobulina, ureia, creatinina, AST, GGT, cálcio, fósforo e magnésio. No período de 8 as 16h, durante todo o período de avaliação, os valores médios de THI variaram de 73,5 e 78,7 e de ITGU entre 81,8 e 88,2. As variáveis FC, FR e TR, e o ICB diferiram (P < 0,05) entre manhã e tarde, durante todo o período de estudo. As concentrações médias de glicose foram semelhantes no pré-parto, com queda no dia do parto e menor concentração no 5° dia pós-parto. Para AGNE o maior valor foi verificado no dia do parto, com posterior decréscimo, enquanto o βHB decresceu até a semana anterior ao parto e aumentou tanto no dia do parto quanto após. A partir do dia do parto, a concentração de triglicerídeos decresceu, mas as de colesterol e HDL aumentaram. As concentrações de proteína total e imunoglobulina caíram a partir da segunda semana pré-parto e aumentaram a partir do 2º dia pós-parto. A ureia aumentou com a proximidade do parto, e a creatinina houve decréscimo no pós-parto. O AST e GGT tiveram maiores concentrações no período pós-parto. O Ca e P tiveram menores valores no dia do parto; para Mg verificou-se queda no pós-parto imediato com retorno das concentrações anteriores no 10º dia pósparto. Portanto, conclui-se que os índices térmicos e o período fisiológico influenciam na avaliação das variáveis físicas e metabólicas.

This study aimed to evaluate the reduction of crude protein ration on nitrogen balance, blood parameters, and physiological urinary pH of barrows in the initial phase in stress condition (28,77 ˚C) and thermal comfort (18,13 ˚C). For the experiment we used 32 barrows in the initial phase, with initial mean body mass of 18,5 ± 0,73 kg. The animals were divided into two experiments in two environmental conditions (stress and thermal comfort) in a randomized complete block with four decreasing levels of crude protein (20,5; 19,4; 18,3 and 17,2%) with four replications, totaling 16 plots in each experiment. Each plot consisted of an animal, totaling 32 animals. The parameters analyzed were ingested nitrogen, excreted in feces and urine, absorbed, retained, retained/absorbed, total excretion, net protein utilization (ULP), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, urea, creatinine in blood plasma, urine pH, respiratory rate, rectal temperature and body. In heat stress condition, reducing the crude protein content of the diet decreased the nitrogen excreted in the urine, the total excretion and plasma triglyceride in growing pigs. For thermal comfort condition in growing pigs had higher nitrogen ingested, absorbed, retained and, of plasma urea. The response surface for rectal temperature, body temperature and respiratory rate increased, in function to ITGU and different times of observation, being more evident in thermal comfort condition

Para o experimento foram utilizados 32 suínos machos castrados em fase inicial, com massa corporal média inicial de 18,5 ± 0,73kg. Os animais foram distribuídos em dois experimentos em duas condições de ambiente (estresse e conforto térmico) em um delineamento experimental de blocos com quatro níveis decrescentes de proteína bruta (20,5, 19,4, 18,3 e 17,2%) com quatro repetições, totalizando 16 parcelas em cada experimento. Cada parcela experimental constou de um animal, totalizando 32 animais. Os parâmetros analisados foram nitrogênio ingerido, excretado nas fezes e na urina, absorvido, retido, retido/absorvido, excreção total, utilização líquida de proteína (ULP), colesterol, triglicerídeos, glicose, uréia, creatinina no plasma sanguíneo, pH da urina, frequência respiratória, temperatura retal e corporal. Em condição de estresse térmico, a redução do teor de proteína bruta da ração diminuiu o nitrogênio excretado na urina, a excreção total e o triglicerídeo plasmático de suínos em crescimento. Para condição de conforto térmico os suínos em crescimento apresentaram maiores valores de nitrogênio ingerido, absorvido, retido, bem como, de uréia plasmática. A superfície de resposta para temperatura retal, temperatura corporal e frequência respiratória aumentaram em função do ITGU e diferentes horários de observação, sendo mais evidente em condição de conforto térmico

This work aimed to study the electrolyte balance of diets on the metabolism of nitrogen balance, blood parameters, urinary pH and physiological response of barrows in the initial phase, in condition of stress and thermal comfort.. For the experiment were used 32 barrows in the early stages, with initial mean body mass of 18.5 ± 0.73. Distributed in experimental design of randomized blocks in a 2x4 factorial design with four replicates of 32 experimental units. The treatments consisted of four isonitrogenous diets with CP: 19.24% BE ration with 168 mEq/kg, R2: BE ration with 212 mEq/kg; R3: BE diet with 256 mEq/kg; R4: ration with EB 300 mEq/kg and two thermal conditions (comfort and stress). The parameters studied were nitrogen ingested, excreted in feces, urine excreted, absorbed, retained, retained/ingested, retained/absorbed, total excretion, protein intake (PBC), excreted in the feces (PBF) and urine (PBU) crude protein retained (PBR), net protein utilization (ULP), glucose, chloride, urea, creatinine, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in blood plasma, urine pH, environmental conditions of the room, respiratory rate and temperature rectal cancer. The use of feed containing levels of EB between 168 and 300 mEq/kg did not influenced nitrogen balance, protein metabolism and blood parameters of pigs. Pigs exposed to 21 °C have higher consumption, fecal excretion of nitrogen, protein, sodium and potassium plasma than pigs reared under average temperature of 30 °C. Nitrogen retained: intake (%), net protein utilization (%), had higher creatinine values in the condition of thermal stress. The rations containing levels of EB between 168 and 300 mEq/kg to promote linear increase urine pH. The hours of daily observations promoted a positive linear effect (p <0.05) on the physiological parameter (rectal temperature and respiratory rate). The rise in rectal temperature was directly proportional to temperature. The respiratory rate showed an increase (57% above normal) in the heat stress condition
Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar o balanço eletrolítico de rações sobre o metabolismo do balanço de nitrogênio, parâmetros sanguíneos, pH urinário e resposta fisiológica de suínos machos castrados na fase inicial, em condição de estresse e conforto térmico. Para o experimento foram utilizados 32 suínos machos castrados em fase inicial, com massa corporal média inicial de 18,5 ± 0,73. Distribuídos em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso em esquema fatorial 2x4 com quatro repetições totalizando 32 unidades experimentais. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de quatro rações isoprotéicas com 19,24% PB: R1: ração com BE 168 meq/kg; R2: ração com BE 212 meq/kg; R3: ração com BE 256 meq/kg; R4: ração com BE 300 meq/kg e duas condições térmica (conforto e estresse). Os parâmetros analisados foram Nitrogênio ingerido, excretado nas fezes, excretado na urina, absorvido, retido, retido/ingerido, retido/absorvido, excreção total, proteína bruta consumida (PBC), excretada nas fezes (PBF) e na urina (PBU), proteína bruta retida (PBR), utilização líquida de proteína (ULP), glicose, cloretos, uréia, creatinina, sódio (Na) e potássio (K), no plasma sanguíneo, pH da urina, condições ambientais da sala, frequência respiratória e temperatura retal. O uso de rações contendo níveis de BE entre 168 e 300 mEq/kg não influenciou o balanço de nitrogênio, metabolismo protéico e os parâmetros sanguíneos dos suínos. Os suínos expostos à temperatura de 21°C apresentam maiores consumo, excreção fecal de nitrogênio, proteína bruta, sódio e potássio plasmático do que suínos criados sob temperatura média de 30°C. O nitrogênio retido:ingerido (%), utilização líquida da proteína (%), Creatinina apresentaram maiores valores na condição de estresse térmico. As rações contendo níveis de BE entre 168 e 300 mEq/kg promovem aumento linear para o pH da urina. Os horários de observações diárias promoveram efeito linear positivo (p<0,05) sobre os parâmetros fisiológicos avaliados (temperatura retal e frequência respiratória). A elevação da temperatura retal foi diretamente proporcional a temperatura do ambiente. A frequência respiratória apresentou aumento (57% acima do considerado normal) na condição de estresse térmico

Full textSome public and private organizations that operate throughout Brazil have standardized their building projects. These projects have been developed to achieve a common approach to the implementation of technical, economic and service networks. Buildings are constructed by repeating the same standard design in different locations often without considering regional bioclimatic conditions. This study analyzed and rated the energy performance of a standard project undertaken by a bank to build new branches using the Prescriptive Method of RTQ-C in different bioclimatic zones in Brazil. In situations where the building presented opportunities for improvement, bioclimatic strategies were tested, such as shading fenestration areas or changing the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of the windows. In order to evaluate the potential of saving electricity, computer simulation software (EnergyPlus) was used. Simulations were run for the original standard design and the optimized design taking into consideration each bioclimatic zone. In only six cases the envelope of the original standard building design did not reach Level A (best) by Prescriptive Method of RTQ-C. For these cases, changes to the shading devices (overhangs and fins) were tested as well as the SHGC of windows. The equations for the Prescriptive Method were recalculated to obtain a value of the envelope’s consumption (ICEnv) below the maximum value for classification with Level A. For the original standard building design implemented in Bioclimatic Zone ZB-1 having its main façade to the West, the value of ICEnv for the Level A could only be achieved with the removal of all its windows vertical shading protections (reduced AHS), increasing the SHGC of some windows and increasing the width of the overhang at the entrance of the agency (increased AVS). This proposed amendment was simulated for the city of Curitiba/PR, indicating a potential energy saving of 25.97% over the original project. When the original project was deployed in Bioclimatic Zones ZB-4 and ZB-5 having the main façade to the West, the only viable alternative according to the equations of the Prescriptive Method was to reduce the value of the SHGC of some windows. In the case of the city of Brasilia/DF (located in ZB-4), the simulation showed savings of up to 30.53% when compared to the original standard project. There have been no simulations of the optimized project for the ZB-5 due to lack of climate data files for cities located in that zone. The original project did not attain Level A when deployed in Bioclimatic Zone ZB-7 having the main façade to the North, East and South. Changing values in the equation of Prescriptive Method for the ZB-7 indicated three possibilities for improving original project (increasing the average value of SHGC, increasing AVS or reducing AHS). Computer simulations validating the equations of ZB-7 were made for the city of Cuiabá/MT. With the amendment of the SHGC, the simulation showed that the savings potential is practically nil (0.04 to 0.50%). Increasing AVS gave savings of 0.68% for the Southern façade, 2.80% for the Eastern façade and 3.90% for the Northern façade. The reduction of AHS has not been confirmed by the simulation, due to there being an increase in energy consumption of 1.43% for the Northern façade, 1.74% for the Eastern façade and 3.23% for the Southern façade.

Resumo: Cordeirópolis é uma cidade com aproximadamente 20.000, localizada em meio a Depressão Periférica Paulista, uma das regiões com umidade relativa do ar mais baixas do estado de São Paulo durante a estação de inverno. Por outro lado, a cidade também conta com uma série de problemas socioambientais, como a exploração indiscriminada dos recursos naturais e os baixos níveis educacionais apresentados pela população local, colocando em risco a qualidade de vida dos habitantes. Diante dos fatos, buscou-se estabelecer relações entre os diferentes tipos de tempo atmosférico e as doenças cardiorrespiratórias, considerando que as variações do tempo atmosférico tendem a desencadear uma série de reações no organismo humano, causando ou agravando um emaranhado de sintomas, enfermidades e mudanças no quadro clínico de saúde da população. Também foi possível identificar os grupos de risco e mapear as áreas mais vulneráveis e o local de residência dos pacientes portadores de enfermidades ligadas ao sistema circulatório e respiratório atendidos pelo Programa Saúde da Família, servindo de contribuição para que o poder público possa pensar novas diretrizes que sejam ecologicamente, social e economicamente mais viáveis e justas
Abstract: Cordeirópolis is a small town with approximately 20,000 inhabitants and is located in the midst of the Depressão Periférica Paulista, one of the driest regions of the state of São Paulo during the winter season. On the other hand, the city is among the largest and most important deposits of clay, which explains its economic vocation, aimed mainly to the production of ceramic artifacts and agriculture of sugar cane. Despite being part of the largest ceramic center in Latin America,and although the ceramic industries as well as the sugar industry are the main sources of income of the municipality, the city has a number of socio-environmental problems, such as the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources and low levels of education provided by the local population, threatening the quality of life for residents. Given the above facts, we sought to establish relationships between different types of weather and cardiopulmonary diseases, considering that variations in the weather tend to trigger a series of reactions in the human body, causing or exacerbating a tangle of symptoms, diseases changes in clinical and population health. By the way, were collected, processed and organized weather data on precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and air quality standard, and was then correlated with the information collected by the Hospital Health System (SIH-SUS), referring to the monthly number of patients hospitalized for some kind of cardiopulmonary disease. Through the questionnaires it was possible to identify risk groups and map the area's most vulnerable and place of residence of patients with diseases related to circulatory and respiratory system served by the Family Health Program, serving as a contribution to the local government can think of new guidelines that are environmentally, socially and economically more viable and fair

Full textThis study presents and evaluates a few methodologies for scaling the water and energy balance processes at the surface of the continents. The main objectives are i) to evaluate the impact of partial surface vegetation cover and surface parameters variability on the Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) modelling and ii) to introduce some scaling methods to link the model formalism and parameters between the point scale and the regional scale ( upscaling). We first tried to find the appropriate representation of patchy vegetated surface functioning (small-scale heterogeneity). Partially vegetated surfaces are classically described by “dual source” SVAT models where standing vegetation and the underlying substrate are organised the one above the other. This proves to be unrealistic when large fractions of bare soil interact directly with the atmosphere. We investigated the threshold value of a roughness index for which the substrate and the vegetation have to be described as a “mosaic”, i. E. Side by side. On a larger scale, a Statistical Analysis has been performed to evaluate the impact of parameter variability on the seasonal and annual water balance for a medium size water catchment located in Australia. Aggregation rules aiming at deriving effective parameters representative of the regional scale have been verified or invalidated. Then the one-dimensional representation of the SiSPAT (Simple Soil Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer) SVAT model has been extended with the help of a stochastic and a deterministic distributions and compared with equivalent hydrological representations. As an alternative to the complexity of the SiSPAT SVAT model, a simple parameterisation of the main land surface processes has been developed and partially evaluated. This analytical scheme holds some promise for scaling applications

Full textSince the 1970’s and particularly through the works of Tüxen (1978) and Géhu & Rivas-Martínez (1981), the dynamico-catenal phytosociology allowed to better integrate vegetation dynamics, by describing more precisely the dynamic trajectories of vegetation series. If vegetations dynamic study methodologies have been developped over the recent decades in Europe, such works still remain scarce in France. A national program of habitat mapping (CarHAB), launched by the Ministry of Ecology, since 2011, aims to map the vegetation and vegetation series of metropolitan France at the scale of 1: 25 000 up to 2025. Within this context, Corsica has been chosen as a "pilot" region, due to its peculiarities regarding mediterranean and alticole vegetations. Beyond this singularity, the evolution of agropastoral society over the twentieth century caused main changes the landscape of Corsica and represents a major issue to understand the changes of dynamic trajectories of vegetation. Our methodology, based on an inductive and semi-deductive phytosociological approach, allows to describe vegetationsystems of Corsica.This study, firstly focused on bioclimatology, geomorphology and phytogeography, allows to typify and spatialize ecological units, in order to better understand ecological patterns that govern the layout and the zonation of vegetation and more widely vegetation series and geoseries. The principles of landscape phytosociology have been revised and adapted to the conservation management aims and spatial planning of the CarHAB program. 78 units, 34 series, 14 minoriseries and 30 geopermaseries are presented according to several descriptive criteria: ecology, chorology, serie head structure and nomenclature, dynamics trajectories and conservation.A mapping method was developed to spatialize sigmetal and geosigmetal units : the outcomes are presented in a mapping atlas concerning eight valleys and trays (Asco, Cap Corse, Niolu, Fium-Alto, Haut-Vénacais, Cuscione, Bonifacio) and 31 coastal sites.A few bioevaluation methods are tested and discussed to match the challenges of conservation series and vegetation géoséries, as well as evaluation protected sites (Biguglia, Haut-Vénacais)

Full textThis study evaluated different housing systems for pregnant sows aiming to describe quantitative and qualitative aspects of environment, as well as variables that have effect on production system. The optimal conditions for animal performance improvement have been determined analyzing behavioral data took in breeding environment. Trial was carried out from january 4th to march 11th 2005 in a farm specialized in industrial production of pork, located in Elias Fausto City, São Paulo State. In gestation facility 24 gilts were allocated:12 in individual stalls (T1) and 12 in group housing (T2). Further, in farrowing housing, piglets were evaluated in relation to their production variables. Basicaly, this study was divided in three steps in function of the way chose for data analysis: bioclimatic analysis; analysis of the production systems; evaluation of the available intelligent systems: fuzzy logic and artificial neural nets (ANNs) for studing environmental thermal confort patterns and prediction of produtive indexes, birth weights and number of mummifed piglets, based on data of environmental temperature and sow respiratory rates. Bioclimatic evaluation was realized by registering metheorological variables (environmental temperature, air humidity, dark globe temperature and wind velocity) and environmental variables (concentration of gases) inside of parturition room and in external environment, which permitted to characterize thermal efficiency by indexes of globe temperature and humidity (IGTH) and specific enthalpy (h) and salubrious condition of facility. The analysis of production system had as variables the answers to treatments, the behavioral relationships, physiological parameters and productive indexes. Experimental design was randomized blocks with two treatments and 67 blocks. Means were compared by Tukey test. Metheorological and environmental variables indicated the confinement system in group-houses as that permitted the better natural thermal monitoring for pregnant gilts. In relation to concentration of gases, mean levels did not exceed the concentrations considered limitating for sows. Physiological parameters and productive indexes were more adequate in T2, which reflected in performance during parturition. Behavior evaluation, realized by image monitoring using video cameras, showed lower incidence of behaviors related to environmental stress, stereotypies and agressive interactions caused by social organization establishment within group-housing system. The fuzzy set theory permitted to compare experimental data with those reported in cientific papers through rules created for proportionating well-fare of sows during gestation period. The success of neural nets was directly related to it high versatility, wich allowed aproximating productive indexes for predictions proposed in this work.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: During Holocene times a considerable deposit of barn owl pellet material accumulated in the Hot Pot Cave at De Hoop Nature Reserve on the southern coast of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. An excavation of this accumulation has yielded information on barn owl prey species over the past some two millennia. Four distinct layers were excavated and radiocarbon-dated to AD 381, AD 615, AD 991 and AD 1417. The micromammalian cranial contents of these layers were compared to material from two pellet collections that represent modem bam owl predation at De Hoop (AD 2000). Comparisons were made from three perspectives: (1) physical size measurements of certain cranial parameters, (2) micromammal community species composition and (3) community structure indices, such as the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Simpson's diversity index and the species equitability index. By extrapolating from known ecological distribution information of the relevant prey species, these data were used to recreate the local climate at the time of the accumulation of the layers. The results were compared to other palaeoclimate models for the region as a test of validity. It was found that the lower two layers of the sequence represented mild conditions with possibly more grass than in recent times, while the upper layers represented cool weather with a possible increase in scrub. AD 381 was found to be somewhat dry and mild, AD 615 to be the wettest level and possibly milder than AD 381, AD 991 to be the coolest of all the levels and dryest of the ancient levels, AD 1417 to be somewhat cool and probably drier than AD 615, but wetter than AD 381, and AD 2000 to be the mildest and dryest of all levels, with the artificial influence of nearby agricultural activities evident.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens die Holoseen tydperk het 'n relatief groot hoeveelheid nonnietjie-uil bolusmateriaal versamel in Hot Pot Grot in die De Hoop Natuurreservaat aan die Wes-Kaapse suidkus, Suid- Afrika. Opgrawings van hierdie bolusversameling het waardevolle en insiggewende inligting aandie lig gebring rakende nonnetjie-uil prooi tydens ongeveer die afgelope tweeduisend jaar. Vier defnitiewe lae is opgegrawe en deur radiodatering is die lae se datums vasgestelop 381, 615, 991 en 1417 n.e. Deur gebruik te maak van kraniale kriteria. is die mikrosoogdier inhoud van die opgrawings vergelyk met dié van twee bolusversamelings wat die huidige uilprooi (2000 n.Ci) in De Hoop verteenwoordig. Die vergelykings is op drie maniere getref: (1) fisiese grootternates van sekere kraniale parameters, (2) species-samestelling van die mikrosoogdiergemeenskap en (3) gemeenskap-struktuur indekse nl. die Shannon-Wiener diversiteitsindeks, Simpson se diversiteitsindeks en die species-gelykheid indeks. Deur ekstrapolasie vanaf bekende ekologiese verspreidingsinligting rakende die betrokke species, is hierdie data gebruik om die klimaat van daardie tydperke te herskep op 'n streeksbasis en vergelyk met ander paleoklimaat-modelle om die geldigheid daarvan te beproef. Die resultate het getoon dat die onderste (oudste) twee lae warmer toestande met moontlik meer gras verteenwoordig, terwyl die boonste twee lae koeler weer met moontlik meer bosse verteenwoordig. Daar is verder gevind dat 381 n.e. redelik droog en warm was, 615 n.e. die natste laag en moontlik warmer as 381 n.e., 991 n.e. die koudste van al die lae en droogste van die grot-lae, 1417 n.e. redelik koel en moontlik droëer as 615 n.e., maar natter as 381 n.e., en 2000 n.C. die warmste en droogste van al die lae, met kunsmatige invloed van nabygeleë landbou aktiwiteite.

Full textThis thesis studies the evolution of hatching of Aedes (Ochlerotatus) caspius (Pallas, 1771) (Culicidae) on the French Mediterranean coast in the context of climate change. Aedes caspius is a nuisance mosquito in natural salt to temporary submersion wetlands whose life cycle is regulated by a number of environmental parameters relatively limited. We tried to understand the determinants of temporal dynamics of current and future hatching of Aedes caspius. The study of the distribution area of Aedes caspius across the Mediterranean basin has led to the definition of present and future bioclimatic envelopes. The set of climatic anomalies such as envisaged by the scenarios A2 and B2 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (period 2020, 2050 and 2080) leads to an enlargement of the bioclimatic envelope to the north and west of France, and the potential extension of the present day intervention area of the Entente Interdépartementale pour la Démoustication Méditerranée (Interdepartmental Agreement for Mosquito Control Mediterranean (EID)). The temporal dynamics has been studied from the database of daily interventions of EID, over the period 2004-2009. At this local scale (3105 ha) and taking into account inter-and intra-annual meteorological variability, a binary logistic model of occurrences of daily outbreaks has been developed. The resulting model reports that the type of land use, minimum temperature, photoperiod, temperature amplitude and to a lesser extent precipitation and their variability are the main factors explaining the presence of Aedes caspius outbreaks

Full textThis research aims to evaluate and propose human thermal comfort indexes using environmental, individual and subjective variables in the local and regional climatic scales. For that, the hypothesis tested is that the comprehensive study of human thermal comfort, by means of interviews and in-situ weather analysis, provides the basis for the development of an index suitable to be applied also in the regional climatic scale. The first step in the research consisted of an experimental inductive method of field data collection of climatic, individual and subjective variables. Data was collected in the periods of August 2015, January and July of 2016, with questionnaires being applied to the population simultaneously to the collection of meteorological data. Results point to the influence of regional climatic characteristics over the thermal comfort of interviewed individuals, through the direct effects of regional climatic conditions. The influence of gender in thermal comfort responses was confirmed, as well as physiological aspects such as Body Mass Index and age group, in the thermal preference of interviewed individuals. This study also made it possible to calibrate different human thermal comfort classes for the different comfort indexes used in the area of study. Four human thermal comfort indexes were proposed based on environmental, subjective and individual local variables. One index was calculated for Summer, another for Winter, and a third index was developed for both seasons. A fourth index was also calculated for both seasons but using only air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed as variables. Lastly, the spatial representativeness and scale extrapolation of the results for one of the developed models were evaluated statistically in order to propose its validation to the regional climatic scale. Results present the evaluation of human thermal comfort and environmental, subjective and individual variables, as well as the development of an index suitable for both local and regional climatic scales, which provided an appropriate answer to the central hypothesis presented.
