Psychrometry in the thermal comfort diagnosis of production animals: a combination of the systematic review and methodological proposal

Sergio Luis de Castro Junior et al.

Summary: The study aims to develop and validate a methodology for classifying and diagnosing heat stress in production animals based on psychrometric air relations. By establishing a decision tree, the thermal comfort of animals can be diagnosed, and possible corrective actions can be recommended.

Machine intelligence applied to sustainability: A systematic methodological proposal to identify sustainable animals

Robson Mateus Freitas Silveira et al.

Summary: We developed a systematic methodological approach using machine learning techniques to identify sustainable animals through phenotypic biomarkers for livestock production. By collecting and analyzing data from 62 bulls, we identified a typology for sustainable animals, based on their resilience, adaptive capacity, productivity, and feed efficiency. We recommend using this method to identify sustainable animals, as it can potentially increase farm income and reduce water and carbon footprints.

Thermoregulatory responses, and acid-base and electrolytic balance of indigenous ewes of different coat colour in an equatorial semi-arid region

Debora Andrea Evangelista Facanha et al.

Summary: The study found that black ewes had higher respiratory rate and rectal temperature averages. White ewes were most affected by electrolytic parameters regarding time of day and season. Ewes of different coat colours were able to recover physiological equilibrium after heat stress challenges.

Adaptive profile of Saanen goats in tropical conditions

Angela Maria De Vasconcelos et al.

Summary: The study found that goats raised under tropical conditions showed differences in adaptive profile and thermoregulatory responses, with rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate being the most important variables. Goats exhibited similar thermoregulatory responses in the morning and afternoon shifts, but used different mechanisms between periods of the year to maintain homeostasis.

Simultaneity between nutrition and thermoregulatory responses in ruminants

Josiel Ferreira et al.

Summary: Recent studies on ruminant nutrition have been notable for their efficiency in providing useful information on maintaining or increasing the maximum growth rate and productive and reproductive performance of animals. The rumination process in ruminants, stimulated by the physical presence of food, generates heat that can affect animal performance.

Thermoregulatory capacity ofSanta Ineshair ewes of different genotypes associated with coat colors raised in a hot environment

Maria Samires Martins Castro et al.

Summary: The study found a relationship between hair color characteristics and thermoregulatory responses in ewes, with animals having darker coats showing stronger heat dissipation but similar thermoregulatory aspects in maintaining homeostasis compared to those with lighter coats. This suggests that sheep have adaptive mechanisms to regulate body temperature in hot environments regardless of coat color variations.

Relationship between thermal environment and morphophysiological, performance and carcass traits of Brahman bulls raised on tropical pasture: A canonical approach to a set of indicators

Robson Mateus Freitas Silveira et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between thermal environment, morphophysiological response, performance, and carcass traits of Brahman bulls from weaning at 18 months exposed to grazing conditions. The results showed that thermal environment, thermoregulatory responses, and hair coat morphology had significant influences on animal performance. Additionally, factors such as rectal temperature, sweating rate, coat morphology, and hormonal profile were found to be important in explaining the adaptation and characteristics of zebu cattle.

Sheep meat production in the Brazilian semi-arid region: crossing between indigenous breeds

Aline Vieira Landim et al.

Summary: Investigations in the Brazilian semi-arid region have shown that crossbreeding indigenous sheep breeds can lead to higher weight gain, better carcass and morphometric traits, and increased yield of commercial cuts. The study concluded that using crossbred indigenous breeds is a suitable alternative for sheep meat production systems in semi-arid regions, as it maintains quality traits while improving production indicators.

Evaluation of homeothermy, acid-base and electrolytic balance of black goats and ewes in an equatorial semi-arid environment

Josiel Ferreira et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of environmental conditions and species on thermoregulatory responses, acid-base, and electrolyte balance of black goats and ewes in an equatorial semi-arid environment. Results showed significant differences in physiological responses between the two species under different environmental conditions, with ewes exhibiting higher sweating rates. Additionally, differences in blood pH, base excess, and electrolyte balance were observed between goats and ewes.
