Effect of electrolyzed water on ruminal fermentation in vitro using inoculum from forage-fed animals

3 páginas, 1 tabla.-- Trabajo presentado a las XV Jornadas sobre Producción Animal AIDA (Zaragoza, 14 al 15 de mayo, 2013).The effects of alkaline (Catolyte, pH 11,5) and slightly acidic (Anolyte, pH 7,0) electrolyzed water substituting 25 or 50% of distilled water in the culture medium for in vitro gas production technique were evaluated when using inocula from fistulated ewes fed on alfalfa hay., Two diets (alfalfa and concentrate) were incubated., When alfalfa was used as substrate, gas and AGV production and butyrate proportion decreased (P<0.,001) and acetate proportion increased (P<0.,001). Anolyte at 25 or 50% rates and Catolyte at 50% rate decreased gas production., Anolyte at 50% rate also decreased final pH, Volatile fatty acids production was not affected, but acetate proportion increased and butyrate proportion decreased when either Anolyte or Catolyte were used at 50% rate (P<0.,05)., Using high doses of electrolyzed water affects ruminal fermentation in vitro by reducing gas production and increasing acetate proportion. Anolyte tends to reduce ruminal pH.Proyecto financiado por el Instituto Tecnológico Agrario de Castilla y León (Consejería de Agricultura y Ganadería, Junta de Castilla y León) (Proyecto 2010- 1284) y Fondos FEDER.Peer reviewe

Desenvolvimento e desigualdades na América Latina : dilemas de longo curso

No início da terceira década do século XXI, o leitor é agraciado com uma obra coletiva de fôlego, inovadora, e certamente paradigmática. Estamos diante de um livro util para compreender e agir em favor do Desenvolvimento e, inversamente, para continuar lutando de forma mais eficiente contra o excesso de Desigualdade. Resta agradecer ao organizador do livro e aos autores de cada um dos capítulos pelo brilhante trabalho realizado. Del Prefácio de Carlos Frederico Dominguez Ávil
