“…The authors evaluated the correlation and the agreement between the instruments using the same parameters provided in the present study (mean RR, pNN50, RMSSD, LF/HF, SampEn, SD1, SD2, stdRR), founding a higher correlation and agreement between the Polar ® device and the traditional ECG, as our study. Different results were found in cats in which Polar ® and ECG showed insufficient agreement ( 58 ).…”

Robust Animal-Based Measures (ABMs) are fundamental in order to assess animal welfare, however in semi-extensive sheep farming systems is not easy to collect ABMs without inducing additional stress in the animals. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive technique of assessing stress levels related to animal welfare. It is considered a sensitive indicator of the functional regulatory characteristics of the autonomic nervous system. Several studies investigated the use of HRV for welfare assessment in dairy cows while research on sheep is scarce. Moreover, assessing HRV in small ruminants at pasture is critical because of the lack of a solution adoptable for field conditions. This study aimed to evaluate if a smart textiles technology is comparable to a Standard base-apex electrocardiogram (ECG) for measuring HRV in small ruminants. Eight healthy Massese dairy sheep were recruited. Standard base-apex ECG and smart textiles technology (Smartex ECG) were simultaneously acquired for 5 min in the standing, unsedated, unclipped sheep. The ECG tracings were recorded when animals were standing quietly. The Bland-Altman test and the linear regression analysis were applied after parameter extraction in time, frequency, and non-linear methods to compare Smartex against standard base-apex ECG systems. The Bland-Altman test was applied to all HRV extracted parameters (Mean RR, pNN50, RMSSD, LF/HF, SampEn, SD1, SD2, stdRR) to evaluate the agreement between the two different instruments, and a linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between the two methods. The smart textiles biotechnology was simple to wear and clean. It can be worn without using glue and without shaving the sheep's wool, limiting animal handling and stress. Bland Altman test reported a robust agreement between the two systems. In fact, the regression analysis of HRV parameters showed that half of the parameters recorded had an R2 coefficient >0.75. Results also showed a very small reproducibility coefficient that indicated that the two methods were really close to each other. Smartex textiles technology can be used for HRV evaluation in sheep species as a potential ABM for animal welfare assessment.

“…Em estudo publicado na revista científica Frontiers in Veterinary Science (Fronteiras em Ciências Veterinárias, tradução própria) analisou oito gatos -quatro machos e quatro fêmeas. Neles, instalou-se uma Polar H10 e um sensor cardíaco de referência para medir dados confiáveis de eletrocardiograma (Grigg, 2021).…”

“…Além disso, o trabalho deixou claro que o uso da Polar H10 não seria ideal para felino, segundo os dados obtidos. Ainda assim, foi ressaltada a importância de ter acesso a um sensor que consiga análises cardíacas de gatos livres para se movimentarem, ao contrário do que foi feito no teste, que usou jaulas restritas (Grigg, 2021).…”

AgradecimentosÀ minha família por me apoiar na jornada de estudo durante todos esses anos, e ressaltar a importância da busca por constante aprimoramento.Ao meu orientador William de Souza Barbosa e minha coorientadora, Flávia de Miranda Gonçalves, por todo o suporte, incentivo e mentoria no processo de escrita deste documento. Obrigado pela paciência e por serem solícitos com tantas das minhas dúvidas ao longo do caminho.À minha namorada, Dafne Borges da Cunha, que me deu forças apesar de tudo, esteve do meu lado para todos os desafios e me ajudou a enfrentá-los de cabeça erguida. Me deu apoio e garra para não desistir de buscar soluções. Sem sua inspiração e determinação a me fazer acreditar, este trabalho não seria possível. Em todas as madrugadas de produção de texto, não poderia ter melhor companhia.Ao Dado Sutter, que me deu a certeza da minha vocação. Sem ele não passaria pela PUC. O que começou como um hobby está se tornando um diploma, e sou muito grato por tudo o que construímos ao longo de todos esses anos.À PUC-Rio por toda a extensa bagagem de aprendizado que levarei para a carreira.Ao Instituto Tecgraf por disponibilizar componentes para testar parte do que foi desenvolvido.Muito obrigado a todos os que me ajudaram nessa trajetória.
