Thermal behavior of metallic and fiber cement tiles with simple and double layers

This research was conducted aiming to evaluate the thermal behavior of metallic and fiber cement tiles installed in simple and double layers. The experiment was performed on prototypes of roofing in single layers and double-spaced from 1.0 to 5.0 cm. It was used temperature sensors, installed on the inner surface of the roofing and in the center of the model for data collection. Data were analyzed using Skott-Knott test, considering the time of day, and roof type. The results showed that the spacing between tiles has an important influence on temperature gradient inside the prototype, been observed that double-spaced roofs, with 5.0 cm, showed the best results for metallic and fiber cement tiles.(AU)

Effects of glutamine on performance and intestinal mucosa morphometry of broiler chickens vaccinated against coccidiosis

This study aimed to assess the effects of glutamine as feed additive on performance and intestinal mucosa morphometry of broiler chickens vaccinated against coccidiosis. A total of 400 day-old male chicks were randomly assigned to four treatments (NVNG no vaccination, no glutamine supplementation; NVG no vaccination, glutamine supplementation (10 g kg1); VNG vaccination, no glutamine supplementation; VG vaccination, glutamine supplementation) replicated four times with 25 birds per replicate. A commercial sprayed-on vaccine against coccidiosis containing Eimeria acervulina, E. maxima, E. mivati, and E. tenella was administered at the hatchery. Broiler performance was evaluated from 1-28 days, and morphometric parameters were analyzed at 14, 21, and 28 days of age. Body weight gain and feed intake were negatively affected by vaccination, but not by glutamine. Vaccination increased crypt depth in the duodenum and jejunum at 21 and 28 days. In conclusion, this study showed that glutamine was not able to increase weight gain of broiler chickens, irrespective of whether the animals were vaccinated or not against coccidiosis. Glutamine supplementation was able to improve feed conversion in vaccinated birds suggesting trophic effect on intestinal epithelium improving.

Inclinação e exposição de telhado e diferentes materiais de cobertura em modelos reduzidos de instalação zootécnica no outono e inverno / Roof pitch and exposure and different roofing materials in reduced models of animal production facilities in the fall and winter

The objective was to verify the influence of roof pitch, exposure and roofing material on the internal temperature of reduced models of animal production facilities. For the development of the research, 48 reduced models with dimensions 1.00 × 1.00 × 0.50m were used. The roof was shed-type, and models faced the North or South directions, with 24 models for each side of exposure. Ceramic, galvanized-steel and fibro tiles were used to build the roofs. Pitches varied between 20; 30; 40 and 50% for the ceramic tile and 10; 30; 40 and 50% for the other two. Inside the model, temperature readings were performed at every hour, for 12 months. The results were evaluated in a general linear model in a nested 3 × 4 × 2 factorial arrangement. As the roof pitch increased, the internal temperature within the model dropped, so utilizing sharper pitches (50%) for ceramic and fibro roofs with a larger area facing the South can provide lower temperatures within the animal production facilities. In regions where the cold is more stressful than the heat, having animal production facilities with larger roof exposure to the North may minimize the losses caused by cold stress.(AU)

Objetivou-se verificar a influencia da inclinação, exposição e tipo de material de cobertura sobre a temperatura interna de modelos reduzidos de instalação zootécnica, em condições ambientais das coordenadas geográficas “21°14´05 de latitude sul e 48°17´09´´ de longitude oeste. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram utilizados 48 modelos reduzidos nas dimensões de 1,00 x 1,00 x 0,50 metros. A cobertura foi de uma água, dispostos nas exposições Norte-Sul, sendo 24 modelos para cada face de exposição. Foram utilizadas na cobertura, telha de cerâmica, aço galvanizado e fibrocimento. Os níveis de inclinação foram de 20; 30; 40 e 50% para telha de cerâmica e de 10; 30; 40 e 50% para as demais. No interior dos modelos foram realizadas leituras de temperatura, a cada hora durante 12 meses. Os resultados obtidos foram avaliados num modelo linear geral no esquema fatorial aninhado 3 X 4 X 2. As médias obtidas foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Com o aumento da inclinação do telhado, a temperatura interna dentro do modelo reduziu, de modo que inclinações mais acentuadas (50%) para coberturas de cerâmica e fibrocimento, com uma maior exposição de cobertura para o sul, pode proporcionar temperaturas mais baixas dentro das instalações zootécnicas. Em regiões onde o frio é mais estressante do que o calor, as instalações com maior exposição de cobertura para o Norte pode minimizar as perdas causadas pelo estresse causado pelo frio.(AU)
