Effects of heat-stress on production in dairy cattle.
The southeastern United States is characterized as humid subtropical and is subject to extended periods of high ambient temperature and relative humidity. Because the primary nonevaporative means of cooling for the cow (radiation, conduction, convection) become less effective with rising ambient temperature, the cow becomes increasingly reliant upon evaporative cooling in the form of sweating a...
متن کاملGenetic components of heat stress in finishing pigs: development of a heat load function.
The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of heat stress during the life of a pig on its final weight, as a first step toward a genetic evaluation for heat tolerance. Data included carcass weights of 23,556 crossbred pigs [Duroc x (Landrace x Large White)] raised on 2 farms in North Carolina and slaughtered from May 2005 through December 2006. Weather data were available from a nea...
متن کاملBalancing Diets for Dairy Cattle during Heat Stress Conditions
A well-known dairy scientist once wrote that "compared with an effective environmental management system, manipulation of the cow's diet specifically for heat stress will have a relatively small effect on productivity" (Beede and Shearer, 1992). Indeed many dietary adjustments made during heat stress feeding are to compensate for reduced feed intake or to maintain physiologic homeostasis in the...
متن کاملinterpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
