Alexandre Garcia holds a BSc in Veterinary Medicine (1996), achieved his Masters (2000) and PhD degrees (2004) in Animal Reproduction from the University of São Paulo. Since 2005, he has been working as a Researcher at the Embrapa-Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste unit, Brazil. He currently also works as a permanent professor at the Animal Science Graduate Program at Federal University of Pará (UFPA/Embrapa/UFRA) and the Animal Reproduction Graduate Program of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the University of São Paulo (FMVZ/USP). For almost 25 years, he has pursued research in thermal biology of livestock, especially beef cattle, sheep and water buffalo. His interests lie in the effects of the thermal environment on different production systems, focusing on its consequences on reproductive efficiency, as well as strategies to mitigate the impact of heat stress on animals. Since 2016, he has been working on precision livestock farming projects. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Current international socioeconomic scenery has leaded food producing countries to be more efficient, associated to a concern with making the access to food more equitable and producing it in a safer and more sustainable manner. To this end, it is fundamental to develop digital technologies that allow farmers to perform real-time monitoring of grazing herds to favor the productivity and a…
In 2018 Brazil became the principal exporter of beef with an 11% growth in shipping and US$ 6.5 billion in revenues. However, as demand growths, the requirement for products of high quality, for ethical production and animal welfare also growths. Under stress, animals activate adaptative mechanisms which alter their physiology and behavior. In Brazil, thermal stress is a problem which red…
