摘 要:
采用先进的DSI动物生理无线遥测系统和动物环境自动检测系统研究了华东地区夏季高温高湿条件与育成猪体温调节的相关性,结果表明,猪舍环境温湿度指标THI对猪的体温变化影响极显著(P=0.0001),猪舍环境温湿度指标THI能充分反映猪舍环境的优劣及对猪热调节的影响,发现当温湿度指标THI高于28时育成猪将出现体温升高等明显的热应激反应。

摘 要:
The relationship between high humidity hot environment in summer and body temperature of growing pigs in east China was studied using an animal physiological parameters on-line telemetry system (DSI) and automatic animal environment detecting system. The effect of environmental temperature-humidity index (THI) on body temperature of pigs was highly significant (P=0.0001). It was shown that THI fully reflected the suitability of the environment in pig house, especially in its capability of thermoregulation of the pigs living there. The results also showed that pigs would suffer from heat stress (when body temperature rose beyond its normal level) when THI was higher than 28.
