Effects of Elevated Environmental Temperature on Passive Immunity in Swine
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe effect of moderate heat stress on transference in swine has been investigated. The sows subjected to 31.6(DEGREES)C (treatment "H") in an environmental chamber, during last two weeks of gestation showed increased (P < 0.01) rectal temperature, respiratory rate and levels of cortisol compared to the control animals subjected to an environmental chamber (21.2(DEGREES)C treatment "CHC") and University farm (21.9(DEGREES)C, treatment "FC") during the same period.
