Níveis de carboidratos em dietas extrusadas para tilápias-do-nilo revertidas ou não sexualmente

A exigência por produtos de melhor qualidade é cada vez maior por parte dos consumidores. Produzir um alimento sem qualquer resíduo de hormônios como os utilizados na reversão sexual de tilápias e, além disso, conseguir cultivar um peixe capaz de utilizar adequadamente os carboidratos de uma dieta sem deficiências nem excessos, pode significar um maior retorno econômico para o produtor e maior aceitação no mercado, garantindo a compra de um produto mais saudável e seguro ao meio ambiente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os aspectos produtivos, econômicos e de composição corporal de juvenis de tilápia-do-nilo, revertidos ou não sexualmente, originados de recria utilizando-se dois tipos de alimentos (alimento natural, através de fertilização orgânica com esterco suíno ou dieta extrusada comercial) e alimentados com dietas extrusadas contendo três teores de extrativo não nitrogenado. Utilizaram-se 432 juvenis, estocados em 36 tanques e que receberam dietas contendo três teores de extrativo não nitrogenado (34, 38 ou 42 %), durante 123 dias de experimento. Foram calculados os principais parâmetros de desempenho, eficiência de utilização de nutrientes, variáveis morfo-somáticas e realizada uma avaliação econômica, utilizando-se a metodologia dos orçamentos parciais, estimando-se os efeitos das alterações nas despesas e receitas entre os tratamentos. O consumo diário de dieta foi significativamente maior para os juvenis que receberam alimento natural. No entanto, os juvenis alimentados com dieta comercial durante a fase de recria apresentaram maior eficiência de retenção de proteína. A inclusão de 42 % de ENN na dieta resultou em valores médios estatisticamente maiores para o ganho em peso e consumo diário de dieta em relação ao nível de 38 %. O teor de 42 % de ENN melhorou o crescimento dos peixes, mas levou a um aumento no índice...The demand for better quality products is increasing among consumers. Produce a product without any residue of hormones such as those used in the sex reversal of tilapia and, besides, to grow a fish able to properly utilize the carbohydrates from a diet without deficiencies or excesses, may mean a higher economic return for the producer and largest market acceptance, assuring the purchase of a product healthier and safer for the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive and economic aspects and body composition of juvenile nile tilapia, sex reversed or mixed sex, which was previously produced with two types of food (natural food through organic fertilization with swine manure or extruded commercial diet) and fed with extruded diets containing three levels of non-nitrogenous extract (NNE). It was used 432 juveniles stocked in 36 tanks and fed with diets containing three levels of non-nitrogenous extract (34, 38 or 42 %) during 123 days of experiment. It was calculated the main parameters of performance, efficiency of nutrient use, morphological and somatic variables and performed an economic evaluation, using the methodology of the partial budgets, estimating the effects of changes in costs and revenues among the treatments. The food intake was significantly greater for the juveniles who received natural food. However, fishes fed with commercial diet during the growing phase showed higher efficiency of protein retention. The inclusion of 42% of NNE in the diet resulted in statistically higher mean values for weight gain and food intake in relation to the level of 38%. The content of 42% NNE improved fish growth, but led to an increase in the hepatosomatic index, which may mean fat accumulation in the liver. The diet with 34% of NNE has the lowest production cost, however, any change in the level of NNE in the diet from 42 to 34 or 38 % worse economic...

Dietary supplementation of lysine and/or methionine on performance, nitrogen retention and excretion in pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus reared in cages

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of lysine and/or methionine on growth performance, nitrogen retention and excretion in pacu juveniles reared in cages. Five diets were prepared; four diets based on plant ingredients containing 23% digestible protein (DP), basal: Lys-and Met-deficient, 23L: basal supplemented with lysine only, 23M: basal supplemented with methionine only, and 23LM: basal supplemented with both amino acids and a protein-bound AAs diet based on fish and soybean meal, containing 30% DP. Survival, specific growth rate, protein efficiency rate and feeding cost were not influenced by the dietary treatments (P>0.05). Fish fed basal diet showed the lowest mean of N retention. Fish fed 30DP diet showed the best results of weight gain(WG) and apparent food conversion rate (FCR) among the dietary treatments. on the other hand, WG in the 23LM group and FCR in the 23LM and 23M groups were not significantly different from the group fed 30DP diet, and showed the highest mean of N retention. There was higher N excretion (P<0.05) when the fish were fed 30DP and 23L diets than the other dietary treatments. Fish fed plant protein-based diets containing 23% DP supplemented with both amino acids or methionine alone showed satisfactory growth and N retention results when compared with fish fed 30DP diet, with the advantage of lower N emissions into water. The results also evidence the pacu's great potential to be reared in cages. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Zootechnical Performance and Some Physiological Indices of Tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum Juveniles during Biofloc Maturation and in Different Feed Regimes

The objective was to evaluate the hematological and biochemical blood parameters and performance of Colossoma macropomum submitted to BFT maturation and under different feeding regimes. BFT maturation was carried out for 60 days (Phase 1). Feeding on six or seven days a week and feeding rates of 4% or 6% of biomass were tested (Phase 2). The water quality parameters were monitored throughout the experimental period. At the end of Phases 1 and 2, blood samples and zootechnical performance were evaluated. In Phase 1, total ammonia was higher on the 17th day (1.25 mg TAN L&minus;1) and stabilized from the 21st day onwards. Nitrite reached a peak (9.67 mg L&minus;1) on the 26th day. There was an increase in nitrate between the 25th and 60th day (1.79 &plusmn; 0.01 vs. 5.45 &plusmn; 0.01 mg N-NO3&minus; L&minus;1, respectively). FCR (1.90 &plusmn; 0.21), weight gain (9.81 &plusmn; 1.08 g), and SGR (1.26 &plusmn; 0.12%) were highest at 30 days of phase 1. The glucose level (118.23 &plusmn; 26.30 mg dL&minus;1) was highest on the 30th day. The plasmatic protein (5.36 &plusmn; 0.30 g dL&minus;1) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (27.58 &plusmn; 6.58 UI mL&minus;1) were highest after 60 days. The hemoglobin level (5.77 &plusmn; 0.74 g dL&minus;1) was lowest after 30 days. In Phase 2, the triglycerides, ALT, and hematocrit levels were different at the end of the experiment under all feeding regimes. Histological analysis of gills showed a normal condition for fish under BFT. It was possible to apply a feeding regime of six days a week and 4% biomass for juveniles, with 43 g on average

Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US $92 492 million using approach 1 and$73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was $95 004 million using approach 1 and$75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
