The analysis of ceramic tile and aluminum covers, used in animal facilities for two different foot-right heights

摘要

This research had as objective the analysis of ceramic tiles and aluminum roof, commonly used in animal facilities, for two different heights, under Brazilian Winter conditions. The experiment used reduced models of poultry houses (scale 1:10) and the analysis was made by the values of Thermal Load of Radiation (TLR) and of Black Globe and Humidity Index (BGHI), at different times along the experiment. The trial was conducted in randomized complete block design. The statistical interpretation of the experimental data was made through the variance and regression analysis.
