Summary: | The aim of this work was to evaluate physical aspects of heat tolerance in cattle. Sixty-four animals from five naturalized breeds were used, including Curraleiro (15 animals), Mocho Nacional (7), Crioulo Lageano (17), Pantaneira (14) and Junqueira (11), as well as twenty-six animals from two commercial breeds: Nellore (15) and Holstein (11). Measurements on shoulder height, girth, body length, cannon bone circumference, skin and hair thickness were analysed as well as hair density and hair and skin pigmentation. Girth in Curraleiro was significantly smaller than in other breeds, especially Mocho Nacional. Crioulo Lageano and Pantaneira had the thickest hair and Mocho Nacional the thickest skin. Curraleiro and Junqueira were shown to be the most heat tolerant of the naturalized breeds. |

Utilizaram-se 64 animais das raças naturalizadas Curraleiro (15), Mocho Nacional (7), Crioulo Lageano (7), Pantaneira (14) e Junqueira (11), e 26 animais de duas raças comerciais: Nelore (15) e Holandesa (11). Foram analisados dados sobre comprimento corporal, perímetro de canela, altura de cernelha, perímetro torácico, espessura da pele, espessura do pêlo, número de pêlos, comprimento de pêlos, pigmentação da epiderme e pelame. A raça Curraleiro apresentou menor perímetro torácico, tendo diferido das outras raças, principalmente da Mocho Nacional. As raças Crioulo Lageano e Pantaneira apresentaram maior espessura de pêlo; a raça Mocho Nacional apresentou maior espessura de pele. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as raças Curraleiro e Junqueira são mais tolerantes ao calor que as demais raças naturalizadas.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária BrasileiraBianchini, EliandraMcManus, ConceptaLucci, Carolina MadeiraFernandes, Marcos César BarbosaPrescott, ElianneMariante, Arthur da Silvado Egito, Andréa Alves2006-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/7301Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.41, n.9, set. 2006; 1443-1448Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.41, n.9, set. 2006; 1443-14481678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/7301/4346info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2014-10-01T16:38:56Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/7301Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2014-10-01T16:38:56Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false |
