1. FUZZY LOGIC MODELING OF THE OCULAR TEMPERATURE OF CATTLE IN THERMAL STRESS CONDITIONS
ABSTRACT This study proposes a fuzzy logic model capable of predicting the ocular temperature (OT) of beef cattle by means of infrared thermography. The goal of this study is to establish a methodology for making decisions related to animal welfare. The experiment was carried out at a commercial beef production farm, located in the south of Minas Gerais stat

2. AN AUTOMATIC DETECTION METHOD FOR ABNORMAL LAYING HEN ACTIVITIES USING A 3D DEPTH CAMERA
ABSTRACT With the increasing scale of farms and the correspondingly higher number of laying hens, it is increasingly difficult for farmers to monitor their animals in a traditional way. Early warning of abnormal animal activities is helpful for farmers’ fast response to the negative impact on animal health, animal welfare and daily management. This study i

3. NEURO-FUZZY MODELING OF EYEBALL AND CREST TEMPERATURES IN EGG-LAYING HENS
ABSTRACT Considering the challenges faced by poultry farming, this study aimed to develop a neuro-fuzzy model to predict eyeball and crest temperatures of egg-laying hens based on environmental conditions (dry bulb temperature and relative humidity). To develop the models and simulations, Matlab’s Fuzzy Toolbox® (Anfisedit) was used. Different configurati

4. PERFORMANCE AND WELFARE OF FINISHING PIGS SUBJECTED TO CLIMATECONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY LIGHTING
ABSTRACT An adequate thermal environment in pig farming facilities is essential to ensure productivity and animal welfare. The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior and performance of finishing pigs, subjected to climate-controlled environments and supplementary lighting. Twenty-seven pigs (3/4 Duroc, 1/4 Pietrain) were kept in pens with no cl

5. Welfare and locomotor system disorders in active draft horses (cart horses)
RESUMO: Cavalos desempenhando tarefas para o homem é ainda uma cena marcante nos centros urbanos, evidenciada pela grande quantidade de animais que tracionam carroças pelas ruas (carroceiros). Apesar da crescente preocupação da população com o bem estar animal, assim como a criação de leis que proíbem a atividade de tração em diversos municípios

6. Determining Factors Affecting Consumer’s Decision to Purchase Organic Chicken Meat
ABSTRACT In the present study, the effect of consumers’ perception levels (product, price, and benefit perception), consciousness levels (health, environment, and animal welfare), and sociodemographic characteristics on the purchase decision of organic chicken meat were examined.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between th

7. Evaluation of the Relationship Between the Breeder’s Age, Breed and the Incubator Types on Quality and Animal Welfare in the Hatchery
ABSTRACT About 33.3% of chicken life is conditioned by the result of embryonic development. Therefore, understanding and improving the early phase of the broiler’s life is critical to guarantee their well-being. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the relationship between the breeder’s age, breed and the incubator types on quality and an

8. Diagnosis of Gallibacterium Anatis in Layers: First Report in Turkey
ABSTRACT Gallibacterium anatis, a member of the Pasteurellaceae family, leads to decrease in egg-production, animal welfare and increase in mortality. This study aimed to diagnose G. Anatis, which caused economic losses in laying hens by using conventional and molecular techniques. In this study, G. anatis was examined from a total of 200 dead chicken tissue

9. Morphofunctional characteristics of working mules in mountain areas of the Colombian Central Andes
ABSTRACT. The application of morphofunctional measurements allows the selection of suitable animals to perform working activities and ensure that animal maximum capacities are not exceeded. Mules are commonly used by small farmers for agricultural work in mountain areas where the access is extremely difficult. We aimed to estimate the functionality indexes o

11. O papel da bioética nas comissões de ética animal
Resumo As diretrizes para usar animais como modelos experimentais transpuseram o campo bioético e chegaram ao âmbito jurídico. Se por um lado isso favoreceu a normatização de parâmetros físicos e biológicos voltados ao bem-estar animal, por outro, acrescentou demandas burocráticas que ocuparam a reflexão anteriormente destinada à resolução de co
