Control of Temperature and Humidity in Porpoise Culture

Temperature

The black dolphin is a thermostatic animal with an average body temperature of 37.8-39 degrees. In order to maintain a normal body temperature, the black dolphin must adjust its heat dissipation with the environment and its own heat production at any time. The higher the temperature, the more difficult it is for the body to produce heat. At this time, the black dolphin has to reduce its heat production, causing loss of appetite, indigestion, decreased libido and reproductive difficulties. And the lower the temperature, but also to increase their own heat production, which will not only consume more nutrients, but also may reduce the resistance of black dolphins, easy to get sick. The suitable ambient temperature for black dolphins is 30 murmur32 degrees for newborn dolphins, 25 degrees for adult dolphins, and 32 degrees for adult dolphins. Beyond this range, it will have adverse effects on black dolphins.

Humidity

Humidity is often accompanied by temperature to have an impact on the black dolphin, high temperature and humidity and low temperature and low humidity have adverse effects on the black dolphin. High temperature and humidity will inhibit the heat dissipation of black dolphins and easily cause heatstroke. Low temperature and low humidity will increase heat dissipation and make black dolphins feel cold, especially the cubs. At the same time, in the case of suitable and humid temperature, it is conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and parasites, leading to diseases in black dolphins and an increase in harmful gases in the air.

The suitable relative humidity of the black dolphin is 60% Murray 70%. If it is less than 50%, it will cause the black dolphin's nasal cavity to be dry.
