Request technical evaluationConcept of love Bem-Estar Animal (BEA) evolved from an ethical requirement to a competitive differentiator. PITRIO consultancy operates under the guidelines of Coordination of Good Practices and Animal Welfare (CBPA/MAPA) and REBEM, uniting science, management and economics.
We evaluate parameters environmental, physiological and behavioral to build action plans that reduce losses, increase productivity and ensure legal and market compliance.
The consultancy performs the integrated assessment of environmental and behavioral parameters that influence the welfare and productive performance of animals. Microclimatic conditions, ethological responses and thermal comfort indicators are analyzed for the preparation of technical reports and corrective management plans.
Environmental monitoring is carried out based on the measurement and analysis of climate variables fundamental to the thermal comfort and well-being of animals during all stages of management.
Ethological analysis observes and quantifies individual and collective behaviors, allowing to identify levels of stress, thermal discomfort and efficiency in animal management.
Consolidated reports include environmental and ethological indicators, thermal comfort analysis, structural adequacy recommendations and batch management. The consultancy proposes corrective and preventive actions based on standards of well-being and productive efficiency.
The correlation between environmental and ethological indicators allows to reduce productive losses and increase well-being rates in intensive and semi-intensive systems. Request a technical assessment →

ITU ITGU ZCT WBGT THI CRTWe used psychrometers and black globes to map the dew point (DEW) and the actual radiation over the batch.
We monitor Respiratory Rate and Cloacal Temperature as direct indicators of thermoregulation failure.
We transformed the field observation into statistical data of behavioral frequency.
Thermal assessment is a key part of diagnosing Bem-Estar Animal (BEA). We monitor temperature, humidity, radiation and ventilation according to the methodology of Portaria SDA/MAPA nº 1.295/2025 and recognized comfort indices: Thi, ITGU, WBGT and ZCT.
THI = T - ((0.55 - 0.0055 × UR) × (T - 14.5))
| Faixa THI | Ranking | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| < 68 | Total thermal comfort | Maintenance of environmental conditions. |
| 68 – 72 | Leve desconforto | Increase natural ventilation and review shading. |
| 73 – 79 | Moderate thermal stress | Activate evaporative cooling or sprinklers. |
| ≥ 80 | Critical | Discontinue handling and reduce animal density. |

REQUEST TECHNICAL EVALUATIONCharge density in animal transport is a determining factor for the welfare, physiological performance and carcass quality. The consultancy acts in accordance with the Normative Instruction No. 56/2008 xd Portaria SDA/MAPA nº 1.295/2025, which establish minimum area parameters, maximum travel time and thermal environment conditions during displacement. Compliance with the Portaria MAPA 1.295/2025 it's not just legal, it's economical. We optimize load occupancy to counteract thermal stress and preserve carcass pH, ensuring farm weight reaches the hook intact.
For adult cattle with an average weight of 300 a 450 kg, floor area of 1,2 a 1,6 m²/animal, considering the size, sex and duration of the journey. Transportation must be stopped after 8 continuous hours, with rest periods and access to water. Excessive density increases the risk of bruises, falls and heat stress, reflecting losses of up to 3% in carcass yield.
For pigs of 100 kg, the minimum recommended area is 0,55 a 0,60 m²/animal, depending on the type of vehicle, ambient temperature and distance. Temperatures above 27 °C require density reduction and use of side curtains and sprinklers. Fasting control (8–12h) and silent management reduce by up to 50% the occurrence of hematomas and post-mortem acidosis.
Chickens up to 2,0 kg must have a minimum area of 460 cm²/ave. Transport should preferably be carried out at night, avoiding temperatures above 28 °C and maintaining continuous cross ventilation. Adequate density preserves thermal comfort and reduces dehydration losses and transport mortality.
All parameters follow recommendations of the OIE (WOAH), REBEM/MAPA and recent animal environment studies, ensuring humanitarian transport, mortality reduction and improvement of final meat quality.
We don't just deliver spreadsheets; we deliver ** biological stability **. Our consultancy audits the friction points of the production chain, where animal stress converts into financial loss.
