The rearing environment of pigs can cause a high level stress due to the lack stimuli and impossibility carrying out natural behaviors. Music therapy is way enrich promote relief. Few studies in swine using environmental enrichers focus on functional benefits, such as resilience, improved biological functions, or mental status. effect enrichment neurobiological processes particularly poorly understood farm animals. Thus, our study sought elucidate influence music piglets exposed intrauterine...
This study is an observational that aimed to evaluate whether exposure music in the final third of sows' gestation and during farrowing/lactation would change behavior, reduce stress, improve reproductive rates. Forty-eight sows were used at 90 days until weaning their piglets. During gestation, divided into two treatments: control with enrichment. In farrowing/lactation, four - (without music); (music farrowing/lactation); pregnancy); both phases). Sows' eye temperature, performance...
When individual purchasing power increases in society, there is a trend toward quantitative and qualitative increase the consumption of products. Considering magnitude beef production Brazil, environmental impacts are important factors for domestic international markets. This study assessed Brazilian feedlot system characterized by high animal welfare standards that produces high-quality more marbled than produced grass-fed systems. We compared premium super-premium using partial Life Cycle...
Intensifying animal productivity in specific areas is recommended to reduce or mitigate greenhouse gas emissions associated with these production systems. This study evaluates the environmental and economic impacts of six dairy farm using an intensive Compost Bedding Pack Barns system Minas Gerais, Brazil. A Life Cycle Assessment grounded IPCC 2006 guidelines, was conducted as a valuable tool management, providing comprehensive understanding costs from feed cultivation milk distribution. The...
