DESEMPENHO E CARCATRÍSTICAS DE CARCAÇA DE CORDEIOS ALIMENTADOS COM SILAGEM DE BAGAÇO DE LARANJA

Avaliou-se a substituição do milho pela silagem de bagaço de laranja (SBL) no desempenho e características de carcaça de cordeiros da raça Santa Inês. Vinte cordeiros não castrados, com média de PVI de 24,56 kg e aproximadamente cinco meses de idade, foram confinados até que atingissem 33 kg, alimentados com dietas contendo níveis crescentes de SBL em substituição ao milho (0, 33, 66 e 100% MS). A ingestão de matéria seca (IMS g/d) foi influenciada (P<0,05) pela substituição do milho pela SBL, os níveis de 66% e 100% apresentaram médias semelhantes, o nível de 33% foi semelhante ao nível 0% e aos demais níveis. Houve diferença significativa (P<0,05) para o PVF em relação aos níveis de substituição, o nível com 100% diferiu (30,12 kg) do nível sem a SBL, sendo semelhantes aos níveis de 33% e 66% de substituição. O peso vivo ao abate foi influenciado (P<0,05) pela dieta, o nível com 100% (28,90 kg) diferiu dos demais níveis. O peso de carcaça quente e fria foram influenciados (P<0,05) pela dieta, o nível com 100% apresentou menor peso diferindo dos demais níveis. Houve diferença significativa (P<0,05) para o peso da paleta, costela e lombo. A silagem de bagaço de laranja pode substituir o milho na porcentagem de até 66% nas dietas de cordeiros, sem afetar as características de carcaça

COMPOSIÇÃO QUÍMICA E ANÁLISE SENSORIAL DE QUIBE DE CARNE DE COELHO

The consumption of rabbit meat is still very low in Brazil. Thus, so the transformation of meat transformation into a processed meat product, such as kibbeh, can be an alternative to add value and increase the consumption of this food. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, sensory attributes, and acceptability of rabbit meat, in the form of kibbeh, in comparison to kibbeh produced with chicken or pork meat. For the preparation, the kibbehs were made of i) boned and ground rabbit meat; ii) chicken breast; iii) or pork loin; and kibbeh wheat with various spices. The kibbehs were molded and standardized to obtain an approximate weight of 7g. The rabbit meat kibbeh presented better nutritional composition (p&lt;0.05) than the other evaluated kibbehs, with 57.52% moisture; 2.16% lipids; 14.72% protein, 4.37% ash, and 3,768 kcal/kg of mass. For the sensory analysis, the participants were mostly men (60%), with different age ranges and family incomes similar to or less than the minimum wage (34.2%). All the sensory attributes of the rabbit kibbeh showed high acceptability, with values above 79%, with odor and taste being those of greater acceptance (90.0% and 86.7%, respectively). The tasters (75%) demonstrated a strong purchase intention. Thus, it was concluded that rabbit kibbeh has high acceptability and sensory attributes that are attractive to consumers, indicating that this product has high sales potential if inserted in the food market.O consumo de carne de coelho ainda é muito baixo no Brasil. Desta forma, a transformação da carne em um produto cárneo processado, tal como o quibe, pode ser uma alternativa para agregar valor e aumentar o consumo deste alimento. Neste contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a composição química, e os atributos sensoriais e a aceitabilidade da carne de coelho, na forma de quibe, em comparação a quibes produzidos com carne de frango ou suína. Para o preparo dos quibes foi utilizado i) carne desossada e moída de coelho; ii) peito de frango; iii) ou lombo suíno; trigo para quibe e temperos diversos. Os quibes foram moldados e padronizados para obtenção de um peso aproximado de 7g. O quibe de carne de coelho apresentou melhor composição nutricional (p&lt;0,05) em relação aos demais quibes avaliados, com 57,52% de umidade; 2,16% de lipídios; 14,72% de proteína, 4,37% de cinzas e 3.768kcal/kg de massa. Para a análise sensorial, os participantes foram majoritariamente homens (60%) com faixa etária diversificadas e renda familiar igual ou inferior à um salário mínimo (34,2%). Todos os atributos sensoriais do quibe de coelho apresentaram alta aceitabilidade, com valores acima de 79%, sendo odor e sabor aqueles de maior aceitação (90,0% e 86,7%, respectivamente). Os provadores (75%) demonstraram possuir grande intenção de compra do quibe. Desta forma, conclui-se que o quibe de coelho tem alta aceitabilidade e atributos sensoriais atraentes ao consumidor, indicando que este produto possui alto potencial de venda caso seja inserido no mercado alimentício

Avaliação da eficácia de produtos isoterápicos no controle de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

RESUMO O Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus é responsável por consideráveis perdas na pecuária brasileira. O controle desse parasita tem sido feito, principalmente, com o uso de carrapaticidas, sendo os isoterápicos uma alternativa para seu combate. Objetivou-se neste trabalho analisar a eficiência da utilização da isopatia como ferramenta de controle alternativo do carrapato-do-boi. Foram utilizadas 18 fêmeas bovinas de raça europeia, mantidas em sistema de pecuária extensiva, no município de Canguçu, Rio Grande do Sul. Os animais foram divididos em grupo controle (Lote A) e grupo tratado com isoterápico (Lote B). O sal mineral foi utilizado como veículo para a administração da isopatia, sendo que o Lote A recebeu sal mineral com placebo (açúcar) e o Lote B sal mineral com isopatia. Os animais foram infestados artificialmente com 10 mil larvas deR. (B.) microplus , e no 20º, 21º e 22º dias pós-infestação, foram realizadas contagem e coleta de fêmeas ingurgitadas. As teleóginas de cada lote foram divididas ao acaso em nove grupos de dez indivíduos para análise dos parâmetros biológicos e posterior cálculo do Índice Nutricional e Índice de Eficácia Reprodutiva. Para comparação da média de teleóginas de cada grupo, foi empregada análise de variância e Teste LSD. Os bovinos tratados com isopatia apresentaram uma redução de 53,4% do número médio de teleóginas, quando comparados com o grupo não tratado (p = 0,001). Quanto aos padrões biológicos, não houve diferença estatística. Conclui-se que o uso de isopatia foi capaz de reduzir a infestação de R.(B.) microplus , mostrando-se uma alternativa promissora para o controle deste ixodídeo

PCR-based identification of Neospora caninum in the umbilical cord of a newborn calf in Brazil

<div><p>ABSTRACT: This study was conducted at a beef cattle breeding farm in the far southern region of Brazil. The birth of a calf with unilateral corneal opacity was immediately reported to the Laboratory of Parasitology, in the Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; blood was collected from the cow and calf before colostrum intake. The umbilical cords from this calf and from six other healthy animals were collected. Serological examination, utilizing an indirect fluorescent antibody test, was done using a cut-off point of 1:100. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was also performed using the umbilical cord samples. Serological tests showed that the calf was positive for Neospora caninum at birth, with a titer of 1:1600; a titer of 1:3200 was reported in the dam. PCR, using umbilical cord tissue from the affected animal, was positive for the presence of this parasite, and the molecular identity of the amplified product was confirmed by sequencing. Therefore, the detection of N. caninum DNA in the umbilical cord represents a novel alternative test for the diagnosis of this parasitic infection in newborn calves that are clinically suspected to have neosporosis.</p></div

The relationship between the level of vitamin D and ruptured intracranial aneurysms among patients with high sun exposure

Abstract Non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 3–5% of acute strokes. Intracranial aneurysm is the most common cause of non-traumatic SAH. Vitamin D influences the cardiovascular system, including the formation and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. To evaluate the serum vitamin D level in patients living in the tropical zone who suffered aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and its correlation with demographic and neurological characteristics. This is an analytical cross-sectional study to assess the serum level of vitamin D in a study population of 99 patients treated and diagnosed with aSAH in a public hospital in Recife-PE over a period of 12 months. In the study sample, composed of individuals with high sun exposure due to the lifestyle they lead in a tropical region, we observed hypovitaminosis D (85.9%), with a median of 19.9 ng/ml, although the majority of individuals are skin with high concentration of melanin (Fitzpatrick skin type IV and V). In addition, rates of sun exposure are high to all patients (Solar Index 9.03 P50). Most individuals were female (79.8%); there was no statistical difference in solar exposure/solar index between genders. As for the neurological repercussions, there was no statistical relevance in the clinical prognostic scales evaluated. As the sample was composed mainly of individuals whose economic activity is agriculture, the values of solar index found are vastly higher than those of other studies conducted in high latitude regions. In line with the literature review, some aspects were raised with the objective of justifying such findings that go from the base of the poor diet of these individuals, the increase of melanin in the skin and genetic alterations that directs us to possible mechanisms of natural photoprotection to high sun exposure. Thus, we had a vast majority (85%) of hypovitaminosis D, which in fact makes us wonder if there is any influence of calcitriol on vitamin D receptors in vascular walls and in the cardiovascular system as a whole, which influence bleeding events of this nature. As for the neurological repercussions, measured using assessment scales (Glasgow coma scale, WFNS scale, Hunt–Hess and Fisher's tomographic scale) there was no significant difference in the results. As it is only a descriptive study, the causal relationship of the facts cannot be established. However, in a population exposed to high sun exposure and affected by aneurysmal SAH, there is a significant rate of hypovitaminosis D, which supports the hypothesis that vitamin D plays a role in vascular pathologies, such as cerebral aneurysms and SAH

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change.
