In sheep farming, there is a lot of knowledge about the effects of heat stress on health, reproduction and performance. However, there are few studies on the adaptation of hair sheep to extreme weather events, especially heat, from a genomic point of view. The study is based on the hypothesis that an animal with greater thermotolerance has comparative advantages in the face of climatic ir…
The effects of climate changes are controversial. The uncertainty of climate changes and how these alterations will affect animal production on a global scale is largely unknown. Much is known about thermal effects of heat stress on health and reproductive performance. However, there are only a few studies about animal adaptation to extreme weather events or to faster climate changes. Thu…
The Prof. Alfredo Pereira will participate in discussions on methodologies and results of research projects to be initiated, in progress and finalized for publication. Within our research group we have Professor Evaldo Antonio Lencioni Titto, who has completed several grants and scholarships of IC, Master and Doctorate FAPESP, which will also be contemplated in the discussions (FAPESP fin…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of stress generated by LPS during the final third of gestation in sheep on maternal behavior at birth and at weaning, testicular development and sexual behavior of male lambs. The experiment will be carried out in the Annex of Biometeorology and Ethology Laboratory located at the Sheep sector of Administrative Campus of the University of …

The thermal environment can be a chronic stress factor for dairy cows, and selection of more thermotolerant animals is the main tool for mitigating the negative effects of stress. Coat color and cortisol accumulation in the coat can be useful in determining whether Holstein cows with predominantly dark coats are better adapted to high temperatures because they have greater pigmentation an…
There is much knowledge about the effects of heat stress on health, reproduction, and performance. However, studies on the adaptation of animals to extreme weather events or faster climate change and the role of genes in these responses are scarce. The general objective of the study is to evaluate the existing relationships between potential genes in the skin related to heat stress in San…
The current climate change scenario has accentuated the frequency of heat waves and raised the average temperature in different regions of the world, increasingly exposing animals to stressful environmental situations. Thus, it is important to study the animals' adaptation to extreme weather events or faster climate changes and how the animal is able to respond to these events and what wi…
Among the stages of animal development , weaning is considered one of the most stressful stage. In order to check the influence of the maternal-filial relationship and weaning on the performance of the lamb, the project will compare two ways of weaning: controlled weaning (Dc) and abrupt weaning (Da) in order to examine how the less aggressive management ensuring its best growth performan…

Climatic stress is a major limiting factor of production efficiency in beef cattle in tropical and subtropical environments and in dairy cattle throughout most of the world. Use of genomic tools to produce an animal with superior ability for both thermal adaptation and food production represents an energy-efficient sustainable approach to meet the challenge of global climate change. The a…
The production of beef cattle in the Mediterranean climate can run into problems related to heat stress, since very hot days are common in summers, with temperatures above 35°C. Also, when rearing intensively, the maintenance of male cattle in environments with restricted space lead to fights and decrease in performance and wellfare. The search for technological solutions is the way to im…
