The aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between the reactivity during management, using three methods of evaluation, the level of stress and the performance of crossbred Angus Nellore. During weighing, the temperament will be recorded by the Crush Score Tests in squeeze chute (CS), Flight Speed (FS) and Qualitative Behavior Assessment (QBA), and the plasmatic cortisol concen…
The aim of the project is to compare the behaviour indicative of stress and meat quality in pigs housed in intensive confined system, according to the quality of treatment received. For this, 192 piglets will be separate in three groups with different treatments: 1) Aversive (TA): the person responsible for treatment will be rude with the animals, will use an aggressive tone of voice and …

This study aims to quantify the expression of HSP70 (heat shock protein) in lymphocytes of cows subjected to heat stress conditions, as well as to assess their thermolytic capacity, and compare them with each other. The experimental phase will be developed in Pirassununga and in Descalvado (in São Paulo state) with animals of Holstein Friesian and Brahman breeds, respectively. The animals…

This project aims to determine a composite score scale that may characterize the reactivity of the equine species altogether. To do this, will be assessed 100mares bred Brazilian Equestrian, from APTA, the Polo Regional da Alta Mogiana, located in the city of Colina, SP. The assessment of reactivity will be made by assigning scores to the following behaviors: drive intensity and presence/…

The pre-slaughter fasting is an important factor in animal welfare and carcass quality and meat resulting. Some farmers make fasting only in transport, which can cause travel sickness and death in animals. This project has aimed to compare the effects of on-farm vc at the plant fasting on animal welfare (physiology and behavior) and carcass and meat quality of pigs. To this, 840 animals (…
