概括
热应激显著降低了怀孕乳牛的干物质摄入量 (DMI). 蒸发式冷却系统减轻了这些减少,特别是随着怀孕的进展和热负荷的增加,有助于农场的利能力.
科学领域:
- 动物科学动物科学
- 乳制品营养 乳制品营养
- 环境生理学环境生理学
背景情况:
- 干旱期间的热应激 (HS) 对奶牛的福利,健康,干物摄入量 (DMI) 和随后的牛奶产量产生负面影响.
- 这些影响降低了奶牛场的利能力,强调了需要有效的管理策略.
研究的目的:
- 模拟孕妇,非哺乳乳乳母奶牛体验热应激的DMI变化.
- 为了评估蒸发式冷却系统在晚期干旱期间对DMI的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用了244只孕期,非哺乳乳乳母牛的数据库,记录了相对于分娩 (DRC) 的DMI从-42天到-1天.
- 采用了通用的添加混合效应模型来分析DMI与热应力 (温度湿度指数,THI) 和DRC的关系.
- 使用微分方程估计DMI变化,比较带有和没有蒸发冷却的奶牛.
主要成果:
- 与冷却的奶牛相比,未冷却的奶牛的DMI减少了1.30公斤/天,直肠温度增加了0.22°C.
- 随着THI的增加,DMI下降,非冷却奶牛的减少更为明显.
- 在未冷却的奶牛和冷却的奶牛 (-14 DRC) 中,DMI的下降较早开始 (-30 DRC),在使用冷却或在较冷的月份分娩的奶牛中强度降低.
结论:
- 蒸发式冷却系统有效地维持了热应激孕产奶牛的DMI.
- 结合环境变量和怀孕阶段的预测模型可以改善饮食配方的DMI估计.
- 这些模型可以指导乳制品营养学家实施及时的饮食策略,以减轻HS诱导的DMI减少.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
13.6K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Quantifying Heat
54.7K
Thermal Energy Microscopically, thermal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of “hot” or “cold”, which depends on the amount of thermal energy. When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE) (or higher thermal energy), and the object is perceived as “hot”, or it is described as being at a...

Body Temperature
361
Body temperature reflects the equilibrium between heat production and heat loss within the body. Most heat is generated by metabolically active tissues, particularly the liver, heart, brain, kidneys, and endocrine organs. At rest, skeletal muscles contribute 20–30% of total heat production, but during vigorous exercise, this can increase up to 30–40 times.
The average body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F) and typically ranges from 36.1–37.2°C...

Thermal Stress
2.5K
If the temperature of an object is changed while it is prevented from expanding or contracting, the object is subjected to stress. The stress is compressive if the object expands in the absence of constraint and tensile if it contracts. This stress resulting from temperature change is known as thermal stress. It can be quite large and can cause damage. To avoid this stress, engineers may design components so they can expand and contract freely. For instance, on highways, gaps are deliberately...
