Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological responses and thermal gradients of goats Saanen and crossbred ? Saanen + ? Boer created in the semiarid, with the aid of infrared thermography. We used 18 goats, 9 pure Saanen and 9 crossbred distributed in a completely randomized design with factorial 2x2 (two races and two periods), with 18 repetitions. The analysis of variance revealed shift effect (P
