Resumo
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do uso de isolante térmico de telhado instalado como forro sob a cobertura no desempenho de frangos alojados em diferentes densidades (10, 16 e 22 aves/m²) e nas características da cama de aviário em galpão convencional. O experimento foi realizado durante o verão, utilizando 3328 aves da linhagem Hubbard, distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em um esquema fatorial 3x2 (densidade e sexo), com quatro repetições dentro de cada ambiente. Para a comparação dos ambientes, utilizou-se a análise conjunta. Durante o período experimental, registraram-se dados de temperatura ambiente em vários pontos do galpão e em diversos horários, umidade relativa e carga térmica radiante. O teor de nitrogênio e matéria seca e a temperatura da cama foram determinados. No ambiente com isolante térmico, as temperaturas ambientais médias e a amplitude térmica diária foram menores e a umidade relativa do ar, maior. O desempenho das aves foi melhor no ambiente com isolante térmico, no qual as aves tiveram maior consumo de ração, maior ganho de peso, melhor conversão alimentar, menor mortalidade e maior produção por área. A temperatura retal das aves do ambiente sem isolante térmico foi mais elevada. À medida que se elevou a densidade, a mortalidade aumentou, porém a produção por área foi maior. O uso do isolante não influenciou a produção de cama, mas diminuiu a porcentagem de nitrogênio na cama. Com o aumento da densidade, a produção de cama elevou-se, pelo maior volume de excretas, mas não influenciou sua porcentagem de nitrogênio. O uso do isolante térmico permitiu aumento da densidade de criação dos frangos.
The work objective was to evaluate the effect of using a thermal insulating material installed as lining under the roof, on broiler performance, on environmental conditions of different broiler chickens stocking densities (10, 16 and 22 birds/m²) and on litter characteristics. The experiment was carried out during the summer, using 3328 chicks of Hubbard strain, distributed in a completely randomized design, in a factorial scheme 3x2 (density and sex), with four replicates for each environment. For the environment comparison a conjunct analysis was used. During the experimental period, registered temperature data were collected in several points and times, and also relative humidity and radiant thermal load were registered. Nitrogen content, dry matter and temperature of litter were determined. Daily average temperatures and temperature range were lower and the relative humidity was higher in the insulated environment. The broiler performance was better in the insulated environment, where the broilers had higher feed intake, higher weight gain, better feed: gain ratio, lower mortality and higher production per area. Rectal temperature of birds reared on the non insulated environment was higher than the birds reared on the insulated environment. As the rearing densities increased, the mortality increased, however the production per area was higher. The litter production was not affected by insulation, but it decreased the nitrogen percentage. Increasing stocking densities lead to an increase of litter production, but it did not affect the nitrogen percentage. The use of thermal insulation allowed increasing the broilers stocking density.
