Estimation of heat exchanges in Boer crossbred goats maintained in a climate chamber.

Exposure of goats to high air temperatures can induce physiological and behavioral adjustments, increasing the dissipation of excess body heat in the latent form, and intensification of the use of these thermoregulatory tools can result in physiological and productive damage to animals. With this, the objective of the research was to quantify the levels of thermal stress and the sensible and latent heat losses of Boer crossbred goats submitted to different air temperatures, in a climatic chamber. Six male crossbred goats of the Boer breed, with an average weight of 25.
