Abstract

The influence of high temperatures and humidities on the energy expenditure of thirteen Friesian prerumiant calves was studied by means of two climatic chambers. The 76 determinations made, showed that stress (8 hours of duration) produced a significant 3% increase of the energy expediture of calves during the time of imposi­tion of stress and also during the day as a whole. The energy expendi­ture was more important when humidities were higher but the dif­ference wasn't significative. The energy expenditure percentage of the day as a whole produced during the time of imposition of stress was the same of that for the period corresponding to the control days. It would be interesting to determine the factors that provoke an increase of the energy expenditure during the 16 hours that follow the stress.
