1. Comparison of extensive and intensive pig production systems in Uruguay in terms of ethologic, physiologic and meat quality parameters
The objective of this work is to characterize two contrasting systems of fattening pigs in Uruguay. A total of 96 pigs (average 41.7 kg) were divided into eight groups of 12 animals, representing two production systems: (IN) pigs confined in pens of 12 m² or (OUT) kept in plots with field shelters and access to pasture. Behavioral observations were performe

3. Estudo do conforto termico, desempenho animal e racionalização de energia eletrica em uma instalação suinocola na região de Boituva-SP / Study of thermal comfort, animal perfomance and energy savings in a swine barn in Boituva - SP, Brazil
A great challenge in the swine production is the definition of a construction model capable of bringing a better thermal comfort to the animals. The greatest losses on production occur due very hot days and great thermal variation, which are the chief characteristics of the tropical weather. An alternative to minimize these losses is the use of diverse clima
