摘要
The purpose of this research was to compare the efficiency of three different schedules using an adiabatic evaporative cooling with misting system (AEC) in a free-stall and its influence on the physiological parameters on lactating cows. A total of 28 Brown Swiss and Holstein multiparous cows were random allocated in four groups. The overall experimental period was of 56 days, starting from January 20th. Treatments were: control group (without AEC); Day (AEC turned on from 7 to 19 h); Night (AEC turned on from 19 to 7 h) and 24 h (AEC turned on during 24h). The dry bulb temperature (DBT), relative humidity (RH) and black globe temperature (BGT) were measuread hourly inside and outside of facilities through a period of 24 hours. The respiratory frequency (RF), rectal temperature (RT) and skin temperature (ST) were registered twice a week at 7, 13 e 21 h. It was observed a positive linear correlation between rectal temperature and ST. The free-stall cooling used in the day group kept the temperature under the thermoneutrality range till 12 h, however from 17 h in the day group the DBT was statistically higher than control and 24 h groups.
