Abstract:

【Objective】 This study was conducted to explore the effects of cross-ventilation system on cowshed thermal environment, physiological and biochemical indexes, and production performance of beef cattle under the high temperature and humidity climate in summer of southern China, to evaluate the technical and economic effects of the environment control system for beef cattle heatstroke prevention. 【Method】 One-factor completely randomized design was introduced in this study. Thirty healthy 8-month-old Simmental bulls with similar body weight ((290.05±7.60)kg) were randomly assigned into two adjacent sheds with the same structure. The experimental group was equipped with the cross-ventilation system, and natural ventilation was used in the control group. The experimental period was from June 30 to July 16, 2019, a total of 17 days, in which the pre-test period was the first 3 days, and the formal period was the last 14 days. The wind speed, dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb temperature were measured at 5:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00 and 22:00 every day in the first 7 days of the formal test period. The temperature-humidity index and sensible temperature were calculated. Meanwhile, the rectal temperature and respiratory rate of beef cattle were measured. During the whole formal period, the feeding amount was recorded every day, and the remaining materials were cleaned and weighed at 6 a.m of the next day to calculate the feed intake. From 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning on the first day and the fourteenth day of the formal test period, all cattle were weighed before feeding to calculate the average daily gain, feed weight ratio and other production performance indicators, and the economic benefit was evaluated. Simultaneously, the blood and fecal samples were collected for determination of inorganic ions, biochemical indexes and hormone levels in serum and cortisol levels in feces. 【Result】 The results showed that: (1) in the experimental group, the cross-ventilation system could significantly increase the wind speed in the shed (P < 0.01), thus significantly reduced the sensible temperature, the rectal temperature at 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00, and the respiratory rate of beef cattle at 10:00, 14:00, 18:00 (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, with the increase of ambient temperature, the increase of rectal temperature and respiratory rate in the experimental group decreased by 45% and 42%, respectively. There was no significant difference in dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity and temperature-humidity index between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). (2) At the end of the experiment, the serum calcium content in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while no difference was found concerning the contents of potassium ion, sodium ion, magnesium ion and chloride ion (P > 0.05). The results of serum biochemical indexes showed that the contents of heat stress protein 70, total protein, triglyceride and glucose in bovine of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and no significant difference was observed for the contents of serum albumin, globulin and total cholesterol (P > 0.05). The results of hormone levels showed that the levels of cortisol in feces and serum of the cattle in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05), and triiodothyronine and thyroxine had no significant difference in cattle between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). (3) The production performance test showed that there was no significant difference in initial body weight and end body weight between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05), while the average daily gain (P < 0.01) and average dry matter intake (P < 0.05) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group, the feed-to-weight ratio of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the profit in the experimental group was increased by 10.68%. 【Conclusion】 The cross-ventilation system could significantly increase the air velocity of the shed, reduce the sensible temperature, improve the metabolism of Simmental cattle, promote the production performance, and increase the economic benefits for beef cattle production in high temperature and humidity environment.
