Resumo:
This study aimed to characterize the relationship of maternal-filial Santa Ines
ewes postpartum. The research was conducted at the Experimental Station Benjamin
Maranhão (MEPA) , which was accompanied by maternal behavior of 65 pregnant
females with a mean age of 150 days , average weight of 23 kg and 17 Pura Santa Ines
(SI) , 25 Half Blood St. Agnes x Dorper (MS) and 23 Bedroom Three Santa Ines Dorper
x (Tq). The observations were made directly with instantaneous recording and focal
sampling, adopting the five-minute interval in 12 hours. Initiating the monitoring from
the location of a female with features of pre-partum. The behavioral patterns of the
sheep were in touch with the lamb (CCO), cleaning the lamb (LCO), ingesting
membranes (IME), facilitating breastfeeding (FMA), making it difficult to breastfeed
(DMA), making it difficult to breastfeed (DM), away from the creates (AC), no apparent
activity (AS), creates stimulating (EC), other activities (OAT). Statistical analysis of the
data had the aid of software ASSISTAT 2.9 beta (Azevedo & Silva, 2009) version and
the Tukey test at 5 % probability. In the first experiment the data of physiological
variables and surface temperature of the animals in factorial (2 x 2 x 8), two systems
(Internal and External) two shifts (morning and afternoon) with eight replicates were
analyzed. For environmental variables, and the total gain, average daily weight used was
completely randomized design (CRD). In the second experiment were analyzed birth
weight and type of delivery, birth weight of females and males, day and night in a
factorial (3 x 2 x 8) scheme, with three genetic groups (Santa Ines Half Blood and Three
Bedroom), two shifts (morning and afternoon) with eight replications, and the behavior
of the sheep and neonates used a completely randomized design (CRD).
