Em várias regiões de Portugal, principalmente no interior, os pequenos ruminantes podem, com muita frequência, ficar expostos a condições de clima quente, temperaturas muito elevadas, ou ondas de calor. Os fenómenos de ondas de calor ou de temperaturas muito elevadas, causam prejuízos avultados e perdas significativas na produção animal. Da mesma forma, a produção dos pequenos ruminantes, pode ser afectada,...
In Portugal, animal production is of major significance, both economically and socially. Livestock are especially important to those regions in which agriculture is the main economic activity. Situated in Southwestern Europe, Portugal has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summer. Livestock farmers have to deal with high temperatures and with their effects on animal production. In most cases, breeders...

Na Europa do Sul ou nas regiões mediterrâneas, as temperaturas muito elevadas podem provocar dificuldades e danos na produção animal e aos produtores. Os fenómenos de ondas de calor ou de temperaturas muito elevadas, causam prejuízos avultados e perdas significativas na produção animal. Em Portugal, verificamos que são cada vez mais frequentes a ocorrência de situações com condições climáticas adversas, devid...
In some Portuguese inland regions, small ruminants can be subject to hot climate conditions, as high temperatures or heat waves. These conditions can affect animal production, mainly milk and its quality. In fact, data from revious years, shows that temperatures in Summer tend to be high, and several heat waves have occurred, with temperatures above 40 oC. To minimize the effects of these adverse climatic situa...
In Portugal, animal production (mainly meat and milk) represents 32% of the Agriculture Domestic Product and, in some regions, its socio-economic importance is quite relevant. Located in Southwestern Europe, Portugal has a mediterranean climate: Winter is cold and wet. Summer is hot and dry particularly in Alentejo and northeastern regions. Significantly high temperatures combined with dry air (or even wet air...
In the South of Europe or mediterranean regions, significant high temperatures combined with dry air (or even wet air) may produce serious problems or damages to livestock and to the farmer. To understand and minimize the effects of this situation in Portugal, we intend to carry out a work project aiming to identify the climatic factors that affect livestock in all portuguese regions; the climatic diversity of ...
