Alterações fisiológicas causadas pelo estresse térmico em caprinos - revisão de literatura.

Abstract

This work aims to make a literature review on the physiological changes caused by thermal stress in goats. Many literature reviews and various authors at various locations were analyzed, the main one being the Northeast, as an area where the agricultural sector, and especially the goat culture, has great economic importance. The research allowed the confirmation of several amendments, such as in milk composition and on seminal characteristics, hormonal, respiratory rate, respiratory minute volume, respiratory evaporation, thermolysis, rectal temperature, sweat rate. Thus, conclude that the thermal stress influences the goat productive and reproductively, confirming the need to seek methods or actions that reduce the influence of these temperatures and enable the best productivity for these animals.
