Influence of Cold Environments on Growth, Antioxidant Status, Immunity and Expression of Related Genes in Lambs. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12192535. [PMID: 36230276 PMCID: PMC9559294 DOI: 10.3390/ani12192535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Cold climates may be a risk to the health and welfare of lambs during winter because cold environments alter the physiological processes of lambs, and we used cold environments with three different temperature gradients—an indoor heating control group (IHC) using electric heating; an indoor temperature group (IT) with intermittent and slight degrees of stimulation of coldness; an outdoor temperature group (OT) exposed to cold environments in an external natural environment. The results showed that the lambs in the OT group had a greater decrease in the average daily gain (ADG) and increase in the average daily feed intake (ADFI) and the feed-to-gain ratio (F:G) compared to the other two groups. The decrease in immunoglobulin A (IgA) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) contents and IL-2 gene expression, and the increase in tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) content and TNF-α and nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-κB p65) gene expressions in the OT group suggested that the lambs had a compromised immune status in cold environments. Moreover, the decrease in catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) levels, and CAT, GPx, SOD1, SOD2, and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene expressions, and the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) in the OT group suggested that the lambs had a lower antioxidant defense capacity in cold environments. Thus, in extreme cold, lambs kept outdoors could reduce growth, immune function and antioxidant status. However, shelter feeding in winter could relieve the stress of cold environments on lambs, and housing with heating equipment was more conducive to the improve growth, immune, and antioxidant function of the lambs.

The Effect of Climate Parameters on Sheep Preferences for Outdoors or Indoors at Low Ambient Temperatures. Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10061029. [PMID: 32545740 PMCID: PMC7341328 DOI: 10.3390/ani10061029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 06/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Sheep may be kept indoors over the winter period, especially in cool climates. There is currently a drive to keep sheep outside, especially on organic sheep farms. This paper examines the preferences that sheep have in cool conditions for outdoor or indoor housing to inform management practices. We found no evidence that mature sheep should be kept confined indoors throughout the winter period, even in normal winter weather conditions in northern Europe, with temperatures as low as −20 °C and where precipitation and relative humidity may be high. In all conditions, during this trial, the majority of ewes preferred to be outside. Access to the outdoor area should be managed to restrict outdoor access for lambs, ewes with unweaned lambs and recently shorn sheep. Conditions in which sheep did choose to move indoors were: low wind chill values (≤10 °C) and/or high air humidity (>90%). In such cases, sheep should have the opportunity to shelter indoors. Abstract Threshold temperatures for cold stress in sheep are not well understood, the available literature is somewhat dated and reports relate to winter temperatures that are relatively benign. Sheep’s preferences for outdoor versus indoor environments, when given free access to both, were investigated in the winter period at temperatures as low as −23 °C. Two sheep farms, one with access to a permanent uninsulated barn and one with a polytunnel shelter, both with free access to an outdoor area, were used. Observations were made with a camera positioned to register numbers of sheep outdoors and indoors, with one image taken hourly over twenty-four hours. The sheep clearly preferred to be outdoors; on all occasions the majority of the sheep were outdoors. There was, however, a significant decrease, albeit small, in the numbers of sheep choosing to be outdoors at lower temperatures (p < 0.001), higher relative humidity (p < 0.001) and greater wind chill (p < 0.001). Therefore, even at cooler temperatures than reported previously, sheep are motivated to be outdoors rather than indoors. It is not implicitly good for their welfare, and may not be true for lambs and shorn sheep, but accessing an outdoor area appears to be what they choose to do when given the choice.

Abstract
SUMMARYTwenty-eight female and 26 uncastrated male Scottish Blackface sheep were shorn and subjected to two acute cold exposures one week apart. Between exposures and for one week before the first exposure the sheep were kept either at +30°C (thermoneutral), or at +8°C (subcriticai), or at + 30°C with daily short cold shocks. Food intakes were restricted.Females showed significantly greater resistance to body cooling than males during both acute exposures.Both males and females showed acclimatization (increased resistance to body cooling) as a result of the first acute exposure.Exposure to +8°C for one week did not produce significant acclimatization. Exposure to +8°C for two weeks tended, in females only, to increase acclimatization above that resulting from the first acute exposure.Daily short cold shocks reduced cold resistance and inhibited acclimatization in females, but had little effect in males.The male sheep lost significantly more weight during treatment and became thinner than the females. It was suggested that this, and their low cold resistance, might be related to a lesser ability of males to store fat as a subsequent source of energy.

Abstract
AbstractThe effect of insulated (IN) and uninsulated (UN) buildings on food intake, performance and body temperature of sheep was studied over 4 years. The lowest average monthly temperature was -13·1°C. In the UN the temperature was on average 6-6°C higher than outside but the temperature in the IN remained fairly constant and was close to 10°C. Summarized for all 4 years the roughage intake was proportionately 0·02 higher in the UN than in IN (P > 0·05). There was no effect of treatment on weight gain, but the weight of the fleece was higher in IN than in UN (1·74 kg v. 1·66 kg per sheep). The mean age at first oestrus was 222 days. There was no difference in the length of pregnancy and lambing percentage was 185% in both treatments. The average birth weight was higher for lambs born in UN than IN (5·10 v. 4·95 kg), but the weight at weaning was the same. On only one occasion was the rectal temperature lower for ewes in UN than IN before shearing (38·7°C v. 39·2°C). After shearing no effect of treatment was found except for the 1st year, but in year 2 there was an interaction between plane of nutrition and housing. Results clearly indicated that uninsulated buildings are well suited for sheep.

Abstract
SUMMARYShorn Southdown and Welsh Mountain sheep on high or maintenance levels of nutrition were subjected to two acute (−20°C; 4 mph wind) cold exposures in climate chambers. Before and between exposures the sheep were kept in either a cold (+8°C) or a thermoneutral (+30°C) environment.1. At +8°C, all the sheep shivered and showed sustained vasoconstriction and elevated heart rates.2. At + 30°C, heart rates, skin temperatures on the extremities and muscular tone were all consistently higher in sheep which had previously been kept at +8°C.3. During cooling, the onset of vasoconstriction and increase in heart rate were both delayed in sheep previously kept at + 8°C.4. These effects (2, 3) were retained for at least 2 days but less than 12 days after the sheep returned to thermoneutrality. They decayed faster than the increased resistance to body cooling produced simultaneously in the same sheep (Sykes and Slee, 1969), since this was still detectable after 2 weeks.5. Breed differences were mainly small.6. It was concluded that acclimatization induced by chronic cold exposure was associated with a temporary increase in basal metabolic rate.

Abstract
1. Scottish Blackface and Tasmanian Merino one-year-old males were exposed to cold in climate chambers. The environmental temperature fell slowly from +10°C to −15°C in the first experiment when the sheep were in full fleece and from +30°C to −5°C in the second experiment when the same sheep were closely shorn. In the second experiment each sheep received two identical exposures separated by one day spent in a cool environment. Rectal temperatures and skin temperatures on the body and the extremities were recorded.2. In experiment 1 skin temperatures on the feet and ears generally fell sharply due to vasoconstriction, especially in the Blackface sheep. The Blackface sheep showed earlier and more intense vasoconstriction than the Merinos.3. In experiment 2 foot and ear skin temperatures fell smoothly with gradual vasoconstriction. In contrast to experiment 1, both breeds were similar in the time of onset of vasoconstriction. Foot temperatures, however, were significantly higher and vasoconstriction correspondingly later during the second exposure of experiment 2 than during the first exposure.4. The skin temperature at which vasoconstriction occurred remained similar irrespective of breed, shearing or exposure occasion. But the ambient temperature at vasoconstriction was significantly influenced by all these variables.5. Cold-induced vasodilatations were more frequent in experiment 1 than in experiment 2.6. Retarded vasoconstriction among the Merinos in experiment 1 could, except for two sheep, be accounted for by their superior fleece cover. In experiment 2, the delayed foot vasoconstriction on second exposure was attributed to increased blood flow resulting from acclimatization.

Abstract
ABSTRACTDifferent procedures for measuring cold resistance and metabolic rate of newborn lambs were evaluated by varying the extent of induced hypothermia, the rate of cooling and the method of rewarming. Relatively fast cooling followed by a simple self-rewarming procedure proved harmless and satisfactory.The effect of age, from birth up to 2 weeks, on thermoregulation was studied. There was no difference in cold resistance between 0·5 h and 30 h after birth, and between 1 day and 2 weeks after birth, despite a large increase in insulation, body weight and coat depth over this period. Weight-specific resting metabolic rate and cold-induced peak metabolic rate similarly did not change significantly in the first 30 h, although resting metabolic rate tended to be lower at birth than at 30 h of age. Peak metabolic rate decreased significantly between 1 day and 2 weeks of age.The effect of fasting, for 3 to 4 h after birth, on thermoregulation was also studied. Cold resistance and peak metabolic rate were not significantly affected by fasting. Recovery from hypothermia was slightly slower in fasted lambs.These results may reflect the newborn lamb's initial reliance on heat production derived from brown fat and non-shivering thermogenesis. Older lambs, which benefit from better insulation, rely more upon shivering. Fasted lambs showed a tendency to rely more on insulation and slightly less on heat production than suckled lambs.

Abstract
SUMMARY1. Twenty-four Southdown and 24 Welsh Mountain year-old female sheep, half on high plane and half on low plane nutrition, were closely shorn and given two short acute cold exposures (−20°C, 4 mph wind) in climate chambers. For two weeks before the first acute exposure half the sheep were kept at a moderately cold temperature (+8°C) and the remainder at a thermoneutral temperature (+30°C). During the next two weeks between acute exposures these temperatures were reversed for each group of sheep.2. Resistance to body cooling during acute cold exposure was significantly greater after exposure to + 8°C. This was attributed to acclimatization. No further acclimatization resulted from acute cold exposure in addition to chronic moderate cold exposure.3. Sheep which had been kept at +8°C cooled 33% more slowly than those which had been at + 30°C. High plane sheep cooled 34 % more slowly than low plane sheep. Southdowns cooled 32 % more slowly than Welsh sheep, but the Welsh sheep showed relatively greater acclimatization on low plane nutrition.4. Compared with Scottish Blackface sheep given similar temperature treatment in an earlier experiment, the Southdowns and Welsh showed less initial cold resistance and less capacity for acclimatization.

Abstract
SUMMARYAn experiment was undertaken to examine the possibility that progressive adjustments in tissue insulation on the trunk might occur following repeated wind cooling. Two sheep were exposed at right angles to an air flow of 12 mph for 6 hr daily on each of 7 consecutive days.When first exposed to the wind the heat loss from the fleece-covered surfaces increased due to a reduction in insulation and apparently increased vaso-dilatation. After the first day there was a progressive increase in surface vaso-constriction before exposure and a gradual decrease in the extent of the vaso-dilatation during exposure. The results indicate the possibility of centrally-induced peripheral adjustments in blood flow occurring on the trunk of the sheep in response to repeated wind cooling.

A comparison of inbred and outbred sheep on two planes of nutrition 2. Responses to acute cold and heat exposure. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010.

Abstract
AbstractFour groups each of 14 sheep aged 11 to 13 months comprising outbred (O) and inbred (I, inbreeding coefficient 0·37 or 0·5) sheep reared on either a low plane (L, maintenance) or on a high plane (H, ad libitum) of nutrition from the age of 6 months were exposed first to acute cold and 1 week later to heat. Exposures in climate chambers ended for each sheep when rectal temperature decreased to 36°C (in the cold) or increased to 42·5°C (in the heat) subject to a limit of 8 h. Throughout the experiment, sheep were kept in matched quartets comprising one sheep of each type.The average cold resistance times (min) were 161, 267, 348 and 381 for the LI, LO, HI and HO groups respectively, showing a significant effect of both inbreeding and plane of nutrition (P < 0·01). Five sheep in the HO group lasted the full 8 h in the cold chamber with little or no reduction in rectal temperature. Skin temperature at the mid side was significantly higher in L than in H sheep throughout cold exposure, but there was no effect of inbreeding.Respiration rates were much higher before and during cold exposure in the H sheep, but there was no effect of inbreeding.The residual correlation of cold resistance with live weight was 0·58, but differences in live weight do not explain all the differences in cold resistance and particularly do not explain the rapid decrease in rectal temperature of the LI sheep. It was concluded that under cold exposure a high level of nutrition was able to compensate partly for the disadvantages of inbreeding, and that outbreeding was able to compensate partly for the adverse effects of poor nutrition.With heat exposure, there were no significant differences among the four groups in heat tolerance time, but within the 1st h, H sheep had slightly higher rectal temperatures and much higher respiration rates than L sheep. Inbreeding affected only the time taken to reach a respiration rate > 200 per min, which was longer in I (131 min) than in O sheep (113 min) and longer in L (149 min) than in H animals (96 min).

Abstract
AbstractTwenty-four pregnant Scottish Blackface ewes were divided into three temperature-treatment groups 14 days before expected lambing: closely shorn and kept at 6°C (cold treatment, CD); in full fleece at 26°C (warm treatment, WM); and in full fleece at 6°C (controls, CL). Food allocation and intakes were similar for each group. Their lambs were tested for cold-induced summit metabolic rate capability (SMR) on the day of birth at a mean age of 12 h using water immersion to provide cooling. On the following day, the calorigenic response to subcutaneous injections of noradrenaline (NA) was measured to assess non-shivering thermogenesis capability. The ewes were blood-sampled during pregnancy and the lambs before and after the SMR test.In the ewes, blood glucose and free fatty acid levels were higher during cold treatment, but not significantly so. Blood glucose was lower in lambs from CD ewes (CD lambs) before SMR tests; other differences were not significant.During the cold test, SMR was highest in CD lambs, but not significantly so. Rectal temperature declined least during test in the CD lambs (P < 0·05).The peak metabolic response (PMR) following NA injection was about 1·5 times greater in CD lambs than in the CL and WM lambs (P < 0·05). The mean elevation of PMR over thermoneutral metabolic rate was respectively: 2·8, 1·8 and 1·7 times in the CD, CL and WM lambs (P < 0·05), and this elevation was sustained for longer in the CD lambs (P < 0·01). Thus, the total metabolic response to NA was markedly greater in CD lambs.It was concluded that cold exposure during late pregnancy favoured the deposition of (or checked the normal decline in) foetal brown adipose tissue, so raising the neonatal capacity for non-shivering thermogenesis.

Abstract
SUMMARYTwenty-four Southdown and 24 Welsh Mountain year-old female sheep, half on high-plane and half on low-plane nutrition, were shorn and given two acute cold exposures in climate chambers. For 2 weeks before and 2 weeks between exposures the sheep were kept in a subcritical (+ 8°C) or a thermoneutral (+30°C) environment. Before the temperature treatment each sheep received an injection of Brucella abortus vaccine. Blood samples were taken during exposure to + 8°C and + 30°C and during the acute cold exposures for estimation of free fatty acid (FFA), protein-bound iodine (PBI), glucose, acetone, serum protein and antibody levels. FFA and glucose levels alone were measured in 32 similarly treated Scottish Blackface sheep.1. Low plane sheep had higher PBI levels at all temperatures, and higher glucose levels during acute cold exposure than high plane sheep. Otherwise most major effects were attributable to ambient temperature.2. At +8°C the PBI, FFA, glucose, serum protein and acetone levels were higher than at + 30°C.3. Blackface sheep had lower FFA and glucose levels than Southdown and Welsh sheep at both temperatures.4. During acute cold exposure, PBI, acetone and FFA levels increased further. PBI levels were highest in sheep previously at + 30°C, and acetone highest in sheep previously at + 8°C. Very high FFA levels were recorded, especially in sheep not previously cold-acclimatized.5. Glucose levels increased initially, but fell towards the end of acute exposure, suggesting that relatively less carbohydrate and more fat was utilized for energy metabolism during this period.6. Serum protein levels fell during acute exposure, possibly because protein catabolism increased. The proportions of albumin and γ-globulin increased and decreased respectively.7. No effects of temperature on antibody levels were detected.

Abstract
Closely shorn Scottish Blackface female sheep aged 9–14 months, half on high plane and half on low plane nutrition, were subjected, in climate chambers, to two short acute cold exposures down to −20°C. The acute exposures were separated by two weeks chronic exposure to a moderately subcriticai temperature (+8°C) or to a thermoneutral temperature (+30°C). Most of the sheep showed a greater resistance to body cooling at the second acute exposure (Slee and Sykes, 1967). This increased resistance to hypothermia, defined as acclimatization, was apparently influenced more by acute than by chronic cold exposure. The present paper deals with changes in skin temperature, heart rate, shivering intensity and skinfold thickness which also resulted from cold exposure, and accompanied acclimatization.After acute cold exposure followed by chronic exposure to +8°C the following changes in these parameters were observed:1. Extremity skin temperatures and heart rates were consistently increased at thermoneutral ambient temperatures.2. Vasoconstriction of the extremities and increased heart rate, both of which normally occur during the early stages of cold exposure, were delayed.3. Heart rates at sub-zero ambient temperatures were increased.4. Cold-induced vasodilatation at sub-zero ambient temperatures was increased.After acute cold treatment alone the intensity of shivering during the second acute exposure was reduced. Also the onset of foot vasoconstriction was slightly delayed.A highly significant relationship was observed between shivering intensity and heart rate during cold exposure.Plane of nutrition had less effect on the physiological responses to cooling than did previous cold experience.It was suggested in discussion that the physiological responses associated with acclimatization were: elevated basal metabolic rate, delayed onset of vasoconstriction and delayed metabolic response to cold, and consequent lowering of the critical temperature. Summit metabolism was also increased and shivering intensity reduced during acute cold exposure. Some of these responses could have resulted from either acute or chronic moderate cold exposure. However their persistence, once induced, appeared to depend upon continued exposure to moderate cold.

Abstract
SUMMARYHerbage intake and grazing times were measured in four experiments in which adult sheep grazed short and long pastures. The digestible organic matter (DOM) intake of adult wooled Merino and Corriedale wethers was higher, both absolutely and per kg live weight, when they were lower in live weight due to prior under-nutrition. The relative differences were similar on both abundant and scant pasture and were proportional to the relative differences in live weight. The higher intakes were achieved by differences in the time spent grazing and in the rate of intake per hour of grazing. DOM intake of shorn sheep was increased by up to 44% per kg live weight within 5 weeks of shearing in two experiments when the mean temperature was 8°C but no increase in DOM intake was observed in four other experiments when the mean temperature was 11°C. Shorn sheep achieved higher intakes on both abundant and scant pastures by increasing intake per hour of grazing.
