Uma visao do ambiente de trabalho facilita a compreensao das dificuldades, desconforto, insatisfacao, a ocorrencia de acidentes e doencas ocupacionais. Neste contexto, um experimento foi realizado em Itaberai, Goias, Brasil, durante o periodo compreendido entre 20 de abril a 8 de maio de 2018, em dois galpoes climatizados para frangos de corte visando avaliar o ambiente luminoso. Os niveis de luminosidade media durante o periodo diurno estao acima dos valores considerados minimos para as aves, porem a iluminacao noturna, ou seja, proporcionadas pelas lâmpadas dos galpoes e considerada baixa. Para os trabalhadores desses galpoes, a luminosidade do ambiente esta bem abaixo do recomendado pela norma pertinente no pais.

Based on this, we aimed to assess the thermal, chemical and physical properties of bedding materials for compost-bedded pack (CBP) barns. The database for this study was registered from 42 CBP barns, distributed throughout the state of Kentucky (USA). The thermal conductivity showed a linear relationship with moisture content and bulk density, while thermal resistivity decreased with increasing particle size. The bedding moisture average was 46.8% (±11.5). The average finer index (p < 0.05) was the highest weight percentage (30.1%) in the samples studied. Water-holding capacity (WHC) increased with increasingly fine particle size. The higher bulk density value was 3.6 times that of the lowest bulk density value. The chemical characterization of the bedding material provided the following results: 42.7% (±3.8%) C, 1.6% (±0.4%) N, and 28.2 (±8.0) ...

Para isso, foi realizada uma análise de artigos relacionados ao tema, destacando-se os principais tópicos, além de dados secundários do Governo Federal. Por meio das informações coletadas, observou-se a existência de políticas públicas voltadas para a alimentação (escolar e da população) e comercialização, evidenciando-se canais institucionais para o escoamento dos alimentos produzidos por estes. A sustentabilidade nesses sistemas produtivos também denota ser uma característica diferenciadora, considerando os impactos positivos ao ambiente, pelo reaproveitamento de resíduos visando à fertilidade do solo e as possibilidades criadas em termos de geração de renda para as famílias agricultoras.

Para realizacao deste estudo, construiu-se um prototipo de aquecedor de agua solar utilizando materiais alternativos e comparou com um aquecedor de agua solar convencional. Neste estudo foram coletados dados da temperatura superficial de cada piso utilizando uma câmera termica e da temperatura e vazao da agua, na entrada e saida do piso, utilizando sensores registradores termopares e medidor de vazao, respectivamente. Com base nos resultados, os dados experimentais nao apresentaram diferencias significativas com os dados obtidos pelo modelo, concluindo-se que este e adequado para predizer o comportamento deste tipo de sistema de aquecimento.

Experimental peer-reviewed articles in English were searched in the Scopus (ScP) and Web of Science (WoS) databases. The resulting articles (n = 162) underwent an evaluation process in four stages, following the PRISMA methodology and, based on a priori-defined eligibility criteria, 12 were selected. Several indicators of bedding quality were used, emphasizing bedding temperature in the aerobically active layer, evaluated in all studies. The decomposition activity was less intense in winter due to mild environmental conditions. During this period, appropriate management practices should be used (more frequent bedding replacement and turning, use of aeration systems under the bedding, lateral closures in the facilities, etc.) to maintain the fully active composting process. In...

The study was conducted in July 2021, in the Zona da Mata region, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The bedding area (shavings and wood sawdust) was divided into a mesh with 44 equidistant points. At each point, the bedding temperature at the surface (tB-sur) and at a depth of 0.2 m (tB-20) and the air velocity at bedding level (vair,B) were measured, and bedding samples were collected. The bedding samples were used to determine the moisture level and pH at the surface (MB-sur e pHB-sur) and at a depth of 0.2 m (MB-20 and pHB-20). The spatial behavior of the variables was evaluated using geostatistics techniques. For all variables, the occurrence of strong spatial dependence was verified. Through the maps, it was observed that tB-sur, tB-20, MB-sur, MB-20, and vair,B s...

The inspiration of Biomimetics can raise awareness about the need to adopt new technologies, standards, and survival criteria, considering the environmental balance. In this sense, the objective of this study is to describe the use of Biomimetics as a promising agent for sustainable ideas to the problems identified in ambience in animal production. With a systematic analysis of the literature, proposals for solutions already used/designed to solve existing problems are presented, through analogies with natural systems. In this way, less widespread technologies or research are pointed out, such as fast and portable constructions, structures that favor the improvement of thermal and aco...

The experiment was conducted in April 2017, in farms located in Madre de Deus, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Three facilities were evaluated with different ventilation systems: natural (NV); mechanical of low volume and high speed (LVHS); and mechanical of high volume and low speed (HVLS). The interior of the premises was divided into 40 meshes equidistant points, in which air temperature, relative humidity and air speed were manually collected. Geostatistics technique was used to assess the spatial dependence of the variables. The results showed the occurrence of dependence and spatial variability of the variables evaluated. Based on thermal comfort indexes, it was concluded that dairy cows were under stress conditions during the hottest hours of the day in the three animal facilities e...
