Efeitos do estresse térmico no gado leiteiro
O aquecimento global tornou-se uma grande preocupação nos últimos anos. A temperatura ambiental aumentou a uma taxa média de 0,18 °C por década nos últimos 30 anos e deve aumentar mais 0,8 – 2,6 °C até 2050, o que causa grandes consequências negativas na pecuária e na agricultura. Entre os animais produtores de alimentos, os bovinos leiteiros são uma das espécies mais suscetíveis ao estresse térmico (ET) devido à sua elevada produção de calor metabólico e pequena área de superfície corporal para dissipação de calor. O estresse térmico está associado a um impacto negativo no bem-estar animal e na produtividade (Figura 1).

HOT TOPIC – Heat stress in broiler chickens: Impact on gut health

Heat stress is a physiological response to the combined effect of high ambient temperature and relative humidity of the air. Increased air humidity at any temperature always impairs the animal’s welfare and is likely to promote heat stress. Heat stress occurs if an animal is outside its thermoneutral zone and struggles to regulate its body temperature. Consequently, animal health, well-being and performance are negatively affected.
