Water salinity and air temperature on quail production and organ characteristics
Furtado,Dermeval A.; Rodrigues,Ladyanne R.; Rodrigues,Valéria P.; Ribeiro,Neila L.; Silva,Rafael C.; Farias,Soahd A. R.ABSTRACT The supply of salt water in the semiarid region is a recurrent practice, as there is a severe shortage of water for use in animal consumption. Thus, most of the times the water offered to the birds can contain salts above the recommended amount. The present study aimed to evaluate the production performance and morphometry of the organs of Japanese quails as they were supplied with drinking water with ...
INGESTIVE BEHAVIOR OF SANTA INÊS SHEEP UNDER THERMONEUTRALITY AND THERMAL STRES...
Furtado,Dermeval A.; Carvalho Júnior,Sebastião B. de; Souza,Bonifácio B. de; Dantas,Nayanne L. B.; Rodrigues,Ladyanne R.ABSTRACT The consumption of saline water in semiarid regions is a recurrent situation that can affect the ingestive behavior of small ruminants. This study evaluated the ingestive behavior of Santa Inês sheep maintained in a climatic chamber under two air temperatures -25 °C within the thermal comfort zone (TCZ) and 32 °C above the TCZ - and consuming water with three levels of salinity - 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 dS m...
ESTIMATION OF RECTAL TEMPERATURE OF GOATS BASED ON SURFACE TEMPERATURE
Marques,Jordânio I.; Leite,Patrício G.; Lopes Neto,José P.; Furtado,Dermeval A.; Lopes,Fernanda F. de M.ABSTRACT Infrared thermography (IR) is a non-invasive tool with potential to indicate changes in the animal’s thermal conditions in response to the thermally stressful environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of IR to estimate the rectal temperature of crossbred goats of the Boer breed. Six male crossbred goats of the Boer breed were distributed in a completely randomized design ...
Diagnosis and validation by computational fluid dynamics of poultry house with ...
Cunha,Gisele C. de A.; Lopes Neto,José P.; Furtado,Dermeval A.; Borges,Valéria P.; Freire,Elias A.; Nascimento,José W. B. doABSTRACT Negative pressure ventilation in poultry houses has been used to enable the correction of their internal microclimates, and studies point to the heterogeneous distribution of air along the aviaries and the inadequacy of the environmental variables to the recommended ranges for thermal comfort of adult birds, especially in the hottest hours of the day. This study aimed to diagnose the facilities of a po...
PRODUCTION AND QUALITY OF JAPANESE QUAIL EGGS SUBMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTS WITH DI...
Furtado,Dermeval A.; Braz,José R. B.; Nascimento,Jose W. B. do; Lopes Neto,José P.; Oliveira,Daniele L.ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), with 94 (+49) days of age, through the production and quality of the eggs, with the birds kept in environments illuminated with LED lamps in the colors white, blue and red. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with three treatments (lamp colors) and seven replications. In the t...
AMBIENCE OF SHEEP SUBMITTED TO DIFFERENT BREEDING ENVIRONMENTS AND GLOBAL TEMPE...
Furtado,Dermeval A.; Santos,Luana de Fátima D. dos; Nascimento,José W. B. do; Lopes,Fernanda F. M.; Costa,José H. S.ABSTRACT The aim is to characterize and to compare the black (TBG) and gray (TGG) globe temperatures in the production of sheep in the Brazilian semi-arid, using Santa Inês and Doper breeds, distributed in two thermal environments (exposed to the sun and shaded), containing 10 animals in each picket. The experimental design was completely random, 2 x 2 factorial scheme (shaded environment and sun x black and gr...
Physical-mechanical properties of multinutrient blocks with different binders f...
Furtado,Dermeval A.; Castro,Thiago B. de S.; Lopes Neto,Jose P.; Constantino,Rodrigo A.; Cunha,Maria das G. G.; Nascimento,José W. B. doABSTRACT Feed supplementation with multinutrient blocks (MB) for sheep and goats can be a viable alternative in the Brazilian semiarid region, and it is necessary to set an ideal hardness to obtain maximum feed efficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the manufacture of MB using five binders: Portland cement, lime, kaolin, Portland cement + kaolin and lime + bentonite, at two percentages (7.5 and 10%...
Pupillary stress index: A new thermal comfort index for crossbred goats
Lopes Neto,José P.; Marques,Jordânio I.; Furtado,Dermeval A.; Lopes,Fernanda F. de M.; Borges,Valéria P.; Araújo,Tiago G. P.ABSTRACT Goats are homeothermic animals considered as rustic from the bioclimatic point of view, but the reduction of their productive efficiency may occur in unfavorable thermal conditions. The present study was carried out to evaluate pupil dilation as an indicator of thermal stress in Boer crossbred goats maintained under controlled environmental conditions. Six male crossbred goats of the Boer breed were di...
Thermal comfort index, physiological variables and performance of quails fed wi...
Rodrigues,Ladyanne R.; Furtado,Dermeval A.; Costa,Fernando G. P.; Nascimento,José W. B. do; Cardoso,Evaldo de A.ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the effects of environment and electrolyte balance on environmental, physiological and productive indices of Japanese quails. For the experiment, 288 quails were distributed in a randomized block design with six treatments and six replicates of eight birds per experimental unit. The treatments consisted of one basal feed with 20.0% of crude protein (CP) and ...
Termohigrometria no transporte e na qualidade de ovos destinados ao consumo humano
Silva,Rafael C.; Nascimento,José W. B. do; Oliveira,Daniele L. de; Furtado,Dermeval A.A produção de ovos de galinha acompanhando a evolução de pesquisas e o desenvolvimento de projetos inovadores vem ganhando espaço expressivo a cada ano, nos mercados nacional e internacional. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a influência da temperatura do ar e da umidade relativa na qualidade dos ovos de galinha para consumo humano durante o seu transporte entre a granja e o entreposto final. A pesquisa fo...
