Estimativa das condi??es de conforto térmico para avicultura de postura usando a teoria dos conjuntos Fuzzy

摘要

In this research a promising mathematical tool in system's analysis and/or process particularly in the area of Animal Production was used. Such tool was developed according to Fuzzy theory which in this specific case allows analyzing the composition of independent climatic variables, such as temperature and humidity that may influence the dependent variable named bird's thermal comfort. It was necessary to build up rules based on human intuition according to experts in this area, from which was possible to simulate distinct scenarios for supporting the decision of the construction of animal's housing. In this research thermal comfort for layer's housing in production were considered. The results were analyzed using the scientific computer environment of MATLAB 6.5, which could be done iteratively for each generated scenario. Based on the results it is possible to analyze thermal comfort conditions for several compositions of the input variables.
