Structure Design to Avoid Thermal Stress in Cattle

Abstract

The center of the province of Santa Fe, where the Rafaela Regional is located, is a dairy center. The yield in milk production of each cow can be diminished with high temperatures since a large part of the energy available in the animal is invested in lowering the body temperature.
The producer, knowing this inconvenience, develops homemade shadows, materialized with the available elements, without an analysis of the loads to which it will be subjected in its useful life. As a result, structures collapse under some ordinary external stresses.
The present work, in this first stage, focuses on developing a more efficient shade than the existing ones. On the other hand, analyzes the requests to which it is subjected.
