Resumo: | Handling of pigs under hot weather conditions face a critical challenge in meeting thermal comfort and animal welfare standards. Moreover, climate variation affects production and pre-slaughter logistics. This study assesses the thermal comfort of pigs during pre-slaughter procedures under different weather conditions. The case study was conducted at two commercial pig farms in Southeastern Brazil. The bioclimatic index more accurately indicated the pigs' thermal comfort than the temperature-humidity index. The length of the transportation journey critically affected the pigs' thermal comfort, as shown by the rise in pigs' skin temperature (1.56 °C and 1.64 °C on pigs from Farm 2 and Farm 1, respectively). The pigs reached the critical upper limit of the thermoneutral zone under hot weather conditions. Adequate microclimate control during the pre-slaughter management procedures might improve pig welfare. To increase the animals' thermal comfort, both farms should reschedule their transportation to a cooler time of the day. Both farms should also improve their pre-slaughter management processes by training workers to comply with animal welfare requirements and reduce loss. |

También considerando los efectos de la variación climática en la producción y la logística pre-sacrificio. Este estudio evalúa el confort térmico de los cerdos durante el procedimiento pre-sacrificio en diferentes condiciones climáticas. El análisis de caso se llevó a cabo en dos granjas de cerdos comerciales ubicadas en la Región Sudeste de Brasil. Los resultados del confort térmico de los cerdos fueron más precisos con el uso del índice bioclimático que con el índice temperatura-humedad. La duración del viaje de transporte afectó críticamente el confort térmico de los cerdos, como lo demuestra el aumento de la temperatura de la piel de los cerdos (1,56 °C y 1,64 °C de los cerdos de Granja 2 y Granja 1, respectivamente). Los cerdos han alcanzado el límite superior de la zona de temperatura en condiciones de clima cálido. De esta forma, un control microclimático adecuado durante la gestión de los procedimientos pre-sacrificio puede mejorar el bienestar de los cerdos. Para mejorar el confort térmico de los animales, ambas granjas deben reprogramar las operaciones de transporte para las horas más frescas del día. Las granjas también deben mejorar los procesos de gestión pre-sacrificio a través de la capacitación de los empleados para cumplir con los requisitos de bienestar animal y reducir las pérdidas.O manejo de suínos sob condições de clima quente enfrenta o crítico desafio de atender o conforto térmico e os padrões de bem-estar animal. Considerando ainda, os efeitos da variação climática na produção e na logística pré-abate. Este estudo avalia o conforto térmico dos suínos durante os procedimento pré-abate sob as diferentes condições climáticas. O estudo de caso foi conduzido em duas fazendas comerciais de suínos localizadas na região Sudeste do Brasil. Os resultados do conforto térmico dos suínos foram mais precisos com a utilização do índice bioclimático do que com o índice de temperatura-umidade. A duração da viagem de transporte afetou criticamente o conforto térmico dos suínos, conforme demostrado pelo aumento da temperatura da pele dos suínos (1,56 °C e 1,64 °C dos suínos da Fazenda 2 e Fazenda 1, respectivamente). Os suínos alcançaram o limite superior da zona de temperatura em condições de clima quente. Dessa forma, o controle adequado do microclima durante o gerenciamento dos procedimentos pré-abate pode melhorar o bem-estar dos suínos. Para melhorar o conforto térmicos dos animais, ambas as fazendas devem reprogramar as operações de transporte para horários mais frescos do dia. Ambas as fazendas devem também melhorar os processos de gestão pré-abate por meio de treinamentos dos funcionários para cumprir os requisitos de bem-estar animal e reduzir as perdas.Research, Society and Development2021-10-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2107710.33448/rsd-v10i13.21077Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 13; e115101321077Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 13; e115101321077Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 13; e1151013210772525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21077/18726Copyright (c) 2021 Sivanilza Teixeira Machado; Irenilza de Alencar Nääs; João Gilberto Mendes dos Reis; Pedro Luiz de Oliveira Costa Neto; Rodrigo Carlo Toloi; Rodrigo Couto Santos; Oduvaldo Vendrametto; Arthur Carniato Sancheshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Sivanilza TeixeiraNääs, Irenilza de AlencarReis, João Gilberto Mendes dosCosta Neto, Pedro Luiz de OliveiraToloi, Rodrigo CarloSantos, Rodrigo CoutoVendrametto, OduvaldoSanches, Arthur Carniato2021-11-21T18:26:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21077Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:40:33.924139Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
