Popis: This research aims to evaluate the physiological variables of native sheep raised in a controlled environment with different temperatures. Twenty-four entire male sheep of the Santa Inês (SI), Morada Nova (MN), no defined racial pattern (NDRP) and Soinga (SO) breeds were used. Rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and surface temperature (ST) were collected twice a day, during the last 5 days of each experimental phase. The HR (P = 0.001) showed a significant effect for the breed and temperature interaction. RT (P = 0.002) and HR (P
