PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF

Poultry production has been characterized by a growing increase in the last ten years, the development of this sector is due to the high genetic potential of the animals, the productive and reproductive management techniques. Adequate control of environmental variables has contributed to increased production, European quail (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) has specificity for carcass yield. The project was developed at the Laboratory of Rural Constructions and Ambience, Federal University of Campina Grande, Campina Grande - PB, using 768 European quails, in two distinct phases, computing 384 birds in each phase, at two fixed temperatures (25, 5 and 30.8 °C), being raised in cages, measuring 1 m in length x 0.50 in width x 0.25 in height. Bioclimatic variables monitored relative air humidity, black globe temperature, wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature. The experimental design was completely randomized, with two treatments, two densities, three heights and four repetitions of the analyzes by battery cages in an interval of 32 days.
