The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance of crossbred cows ¾ and 7/8 Holstein x Zebu cows in early lactation reared in hot weather conditions, addressing aspects productive, physiological and metabolic. The paper is divided into three articles. Article 1: We evaluated the physiological parameter respiratory rate (RF), rectal temperature (RT) and body surface temperature (ST) during the first 90 days of lactation in 23 Holstein x Zebu these, 10 grade blood ¾ HZ and 13 grade blood 7/8HZ. The objective of this research was to estimate the upper critical levels of temperature and humidity index (THI) for blood groups mentioned above. We used analysis of multiple regression and correlation among the variables. . Considering the FR were estimated critical values of ITU equal to 80 and 90 for grades blood ¾ and 7/8 respectively. Based on the TR, the critical values superior to those of UTI genetic groups were 75 and 79, respectively. Considering the TS, the degree of blood showed the same pattern of response, with critical value higher than 81. Article 2: The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of crossbred cows ¾ and 7/8 Holstein x Zebu (HZ) created in hot weather conditions. For this we used 18 Hz cows divided into two groups: ¾ (n = 6) consist of female ¾ HZ and 7/8 (n = 12) composed of 7/8HZ females. The variávaeis production were evaluated milk production (PL), corrected milk (PLC), fat (Gkg), fat percentage (F%), protein (PT), lactose (LAC), body weight (BW) , body condition score (BCS), body condition score by ultrasound (ECCUS), of which the PL, PLC, PC and Gkg differ between groups (p <.05). Animals in group ¾ had higher milk production and production Gkg Group 7/8, although it had more negative energy balance during the first 90 days of lactation, featuring a better production. Artigo 3: The metabolic, physiological and environmental parameters were used in this experiment to evaluate the degree of blood of cows best adapted to warm climates. Metabolites used to define the metabolic profile of the animals were glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine of which HDL, triglycerides, albumin and urea showed differences between groups (p <0, 05). It is believed that due to metabolic changes suffered during the transition period and early lactation cows ¾ that is better adapted to the conditions of the experiment.
