Authors: Castro Fernanda Regebe , Cruz Fábio Marques da
Published: January 2023

This article reports the experience of an intervention project designed to teach web information search strategies, to allow students to better satisfy their information needs. This intervention was divided into three phases: diagnosis of the search strategies used by the students; teaching Web information search strategies and indicating information sources for academic activities; evaluation of what the students learned by attending the course. At the end of the intervention, the students reported optimism regarding the advanced search tools on Google learned and envisioned more assertive and direct queries, causing them to spend less time with the disposal of useless results resulting from inaccurate and generalist queries. Regarding scientific journals, students eulogized the advantage of easy access to reliable scientific articles, which, in addition to offering quality content, eliminates the need to investigate the reliability of the content. Concerning Pergamum, the students highlighted the possibility of searching for titles without having to be present at the institution, in addition to the greater possibility of knowledge of the campus collection and other network campuses, in case of eventual future need. Finally, it is concluded that the more experience the students acquire with the search and use of information, the better their learning of school content may be and the better prepared they will be for the challenges life presents them.

Authors: Castro Henrique Guilhon de , Carvalho Larissa Marcia Zambom Bertoli de , Lopes Thais de Paula , Guimarães Hugo de Andrade , Estanislau Gabriel Gonçalves Di Giuseppe
Published: January 2023

The Sprouts are highly nutritious food and in their production no kind of fertilizer or pesticide is used, using only the reserves stored in the seeds for their growth. Thus, this study aimed to study the rate of accumulation of fresh biomass in the home production of sprouts of five species (Medicago sativa, Trigonella foenum graecum, Vigna radiata, Vigna angularis e Lens culinaris) in five evaluation times (1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 days after the start of the experiment). In the species M. sativa and T. foenum graecum, the method in the presence of light was used. In the species, V. radiata, V. angularis e L. culinaris, the method in the absence of light was used. In the method with the presence of light, the seeds after germination were transferred to a plastic tray where the sprouts were irrigated twice a day. In the method with no light, a glass pot with a capacity of 1 L was used for germination and growth of sprouts, and irrigation was performed once a day. In all species studied, it was observed that fresh biomass increased linearly with the adjustment of the linear regression model. It was found that M. sativa had the highest rate of biomass accumulation and L. culinaris showed the lowest rate of biomass accumulation. From the results obtained in the present study, it was found that the home production of sprouts has a high potential for the supply of quality food for the urban population and can be produced in consumers' residences with reduced transport costs.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as all aggression that can cause anatomical injury or functional involvement of the scalp, skull bones, meninges, brains. Traffic accidents, motorcycle accidents, falls and urban violence are among the main occurrences of trauma, more common in evils. The mechanism of trauma can be penetrating, or blunt and brain lesions can be classified as primary and secondary. Trauma is a preventable public health problem, with high morbidity rates in an economically and socially active age group. Objective: Identify, in the scientific literature, articles describing the epidemiological profile and factors related to traumatic brain injury. Methods: Narrative and descriptive bibliographic research, using specific health sciences descriptors: craniocerebral trauma; cerebrovascular trauma; traumatic brain injuries; closed head trauma; penetrating head trauma, which were crossed with the general descriptors: health profile, epidemiology. Complete scientific articles, available in full, free of charge, written in the Brazilian Portuguese (Brazil) and published from January 2017 to April 2022 were included. Results: the material this research of 11 articles, it is possible to identify that the highest frequency of TBI occurs in victims aged between 20 and 30 years, demonstrating to affect economically active young people on society. Males had the most frequent occurrence of TBI in all articles analyzed, ranging from 76.2% to 94.0%. Females, on the other hand, had a variation from 6.0% to 23.8%. With about to the severity of the TBI, the mild TBI ranged from 4.1% to 38.3%, the moderate TBI ranged from 4.1% to 92.7% and the severe TBI ranged from 1.6% to 91.8%.

Authors: Mattos Vicente Gabriel Winck , Freire Gabriel Henrique Ellwanger , Valladares Anna Letícia Coutinho Dos Santos , Wojciechowski Luana Raquel Karkow
Published: January 2023

Objective: To carry out a quick review of the literature on the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses, in order to identify the benefits and adverse effects of using this substance for this purpose. Methods: A search was carried out in the PubMed database with the descriptors: "mental disorders" OR "mental illness" OR "psychiatric disease" OR "psychiatric disorder" AND "treatment" AND "cannabidiol". Randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficiency of CBD in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses were included. The selection of titles, abstracts and articles read in full was performed in pairs and the Rayyan platform was used to manage the references. Result: 304 articles were identified in the PubMed database, after reading the titles, 87 abstracts were read and, of these, 21 articles were selected for full reading. Finally, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 4 studies were selected for this review. The articles did not prove the effectiveness of cannabidiol in the treatment of the diseases addressed, as there was no association between the use of CBD and the improvement of symptoms, with one of the studies even pointing to an increase in anxiety levels with the use of CBD. The observed side effects were mild, such as nausea, tiredness, sedation and increased appetite. Conclusions: This rapid literature review was not able to demonstrate that cannabidiol is an effective treatment for psychiatric illnesses, as further studies are needed to prove such benefits.

Authors: Morais António Duarte
Published: January 2023

This work aims to investigate and reflect on the foundation and history of the early days of existence of an amateur theater group: CETA, trying to bridge the gap with my own work in its boin and the meaning of it. This study is based on the consultation of various material (brochures, posters, programs, newspaper news) and, above all, the memories of some founders and historical associates, embodied in recorded interviews. It was recreated performatively, at CETA, and in a single show, some of the content of the audio conversations. It was intended to combine artistic creation with academic research of historiographical methodology, based on archive research and oral history. We sought to discover the importance of theater for the young people of this time, the technical and human training provided by the group to the associates and also the existing forms of censorship and their overcoming. This study is also intended to be a contribution to the construction of a story about CETA trying to remove from the invisibility the memory of this institution in an artistic way.

Published: January 2023

This work is located in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, during which time remote classes were instituted in public and private schools. We seek, through a qualitative research, to understand how the teachers of the cities of Juiz de Fora/MG and Petrópolis/RJ prepared their classes, adapting their pedagogical activities to the needs of the students, with the use of digital technologies. For data collection, we used the Form Google forms, sent to teachers from four municipalities - Juiz de Fora/MG, Magé/RJ, Petrópolis/RJ and Rio de Janeiro/RJ. Our studies were based on Moran (2008), Nóvoa (1995) and Tardif (2002). The results showed the need for adaptation by professionals and institutions to practices that allow students to use digital resources in the construction of knowledge; however, investments in public policies are needed for a better didactic use of network environments and appropriate use of digital technologies in educational institutions.

Published: January 2023

Brazil is a major consumer of milk, so there is a great consumption of its derivatives such as condensed milk, sour cream, milk powder, chocolate and other. The use of whey has been growing in the production of dairy products with the main objective of reducing production costs, so the creation of terms such as dairy drink, dairy compound and dairy mixture. Considering that the value of the product is often the main factor in decision making at the time of purchase, the lower cost of products with drink denomination or milk mixture has attracted many consumers. This research then brings a review on the subject, as well as the application of form to assess whether the population in general can read and interpret the labels of these products and to ascertain, therefore, their previous knowledge on the subject. It was possible to notice that the interviewees in general have a good knowledge about mixtures and dairy beverages, however, 100% of the correct answers were not obtained in any of the items presented in the questionnaire. Another point analyzed was the negative influence that whey-based products may have, as they had answers stating that the product presented was a mixture or milk drink and were actually of original prescription. Thus, aiming at an improvement in understanding and wanting to mitigate errors, it can be concluded that there are still people, even though the majority are not, who confuse the willing products and do not know how to differentiate the original recipe from the generic, it was suggested then that it is necessary a greater awareness or even a possible change in legislation in order to reduce the gaps in food labeling, making the difference between the products as clear as possible.
Perception about the 5S program: case study in a Mato-grossense rural property
Authors: Gonçalves Cristiane Paulino Gomes
Published: January 2023

Agribusiness belongs to the representative sectors of the Brazilian economy and rural properties are part of it and its activities require management to make better use of its resources. Although they adopt modern production technologies, the way they manage their business needs to improve. Among the alternatives to improve the management/ organization of this environment, the 5S program can be adopted, which, although simple to apply, brings benefits. The five senses are: use, organization, cleanliness, standardization and discipline. As a way to contextualize the use of the 5S program, a case study was carried out on a rural property in Mato Grosso that has adopted 5S since 2012 and presents its perception. Based on documents and through a questionnaire directed at all levels of rural property, the data collected revealed that, similar to the urban context, in rural properties the program is apt to be adopted and provides improvements. With this, the study contributes to encourage rural managers regarding the implementation of this program and thus collaborate with the management, which needs improvement in the rural area.

Given the current context of the strong use of agricultural pesticides, sustainable forms are sought so that plants can create defense mechanisms for pathogenic fungi and insect pests. For this, it is necessary that they are in excellent nutritional status, being fundamental a nutrition with macro and micronutrients, and also with beneficial nutrients, according to the demand of each plant. Silicon is classified as a beneficial nutrient, which can confer greater stiffness to plant cells, greater resistance to bed, better tolerance to water stresses, salinity and toxicity of heavy metals, greater resistance fungi and insectpests , in addition to increasing the production of various trees. The element is generally available in the soil, but if necessary, fertilization via incorporated soil, foliar or fertigation may occur. Therefore, the objective of this work is to perform a bibliographic review on the influence of silicon on plant production. Furthermore, it is desired to verify the importance of silicate fertilization for large crops, resulting in economic and management benefits in agriculture. In view of the above, techniques that seekan efficient management in the s and sustainable cultures to the environment, such as the case of fertilization in a conscious way, are necessary in the search for higher yield, given the growing demand for food.

Introduction: Laryngotracheal trauma is a rare condition to be found in hospital care and has high morbidity and mortality. Methodology: This study reports the case of a 48-year-old man, victim of a car-by-car accident, who was admitted to the emergency room hemodynamically stable, on spontaneous ventilation, with progressive dysphonia and no laryngeal stridor. Through computed tomography, a fracture of the thyroid cartilage's notch with lateral dislocation was identified. Due to this condition's benign evolution, a conservative approach was the chosen line of care. Results and discussions: At present, there is no universal algorithm for approaching laryngeal trauma, however, all cervical traumas require high suspicion of laryngeal fracture in order for early treatment to take place, improving prognosis and reducing the risk of severe complications. Conclusion: Thus, this report highlights the importance of proper management of this condition, in addition to the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach in diminishing future damage and endowing conservative treatment to laryngotracheal injuries.

Published: January 2023

The seedling production of gourd in protected environmental may be an alternative to the use of seed directly in crop system. Thus, the study aimed to verify if the production and transplanting of gourd seedlings in different types and sizes of containers may be agronomic alternative to gourd crop. Two experiments were conducted sequentially in time to assess the growth and response of the species to transplanting. In the first experiment with 6 replications, we compared for 38 days the biomasses of the plants grown in tray cells and in black plastic bags. Upon transplanting the seedlings to pots, they were grown for 37 days more in a 2 x 2 bifactorial arrangement with 4 replications. At 24 days after emergence (DAE), the emergence percentage was 50.7% and the seedlings were 8.9 cm high. Seedlings produced in the plastic bag exhibited 30% more biomass than seedlings produced in tray cells. At 61 DAE, the transplanted seedlings produced initially in the larger container exhibited a 100% survival rate and greater height. The viability of transplanting organic seedlings of gourd broadens their use as a multifunctional ornamental plant in sustainable landscaping, in addition to direct planting as a crop.

Authors: Dr. Shagufta Firdous  , Dr Yasmeen Kausar
Published: January 2023

Every artist reflects the culture and civilization in which he reaches the age of consciousness, in his writings. In Allama Iqbal's poetry, glimpses of the different nations living in India and the civilization born from their cooperation are seen consciously and unconsciously, sometimes he creates religious characters to express it, and sometimes he describes the social style and philosophy of the people living in his surroundings by using poetic figures. The beauty of his poetry is that he takes care of all the aspects related to a specific culture. He has also described this cultural diversity in his style of expression and choice of poetic vocabulary; thus, his poetry emerges as a representative of Indian civilization and culture. In this paper, Allama Iqbal's poetry has been examined in the background of Indian culture and civilization.

Open peer review
Open peer review (OPR) is a scientific-article-quality-evaluating process carried out by experts on the area of the article, the identity of the reviewers being public. This means that both the author and the reader can see who have reviewed the paper as well as their comments and suggestions.(1,2)
OPR provides more transparency in the peer review process as it allows authors and readers to see who have participated in the process and how they have influenced the paper. It can also help to avoid partiality and bias while reviewing.(1,2)
 
Post-publication peer review
Post-publication peer review (PPPR) is a scientific-article-quality-evaluating process carried out by experts on the area of the article after it has been published. Its goal is to guarantee that the scientific paper is both strict and high-quality and ethically and transparently carried out.(3,4)
PPPR is carried out in a similar way to the peer review conducted prior to publication, in which experts evaluate and give their opinion about the quality and contribution to scientific knowledge of the respective manuscript.
However, unlike the review prior to publication, the goal of PPPR is not to decide whether a paper should be published or not but to provide feedback and improvements to the already published paper.(3,4)
Due to the above, PPPR has increasingly gained more relevance in the last years because of the need to guarantee quality and integrity of scientific knowledge.
Previous editorial review makes it possible to evaluate some basic elements of the formal aspects of the article, the reality is that peer review is the one that makes it possible to guarantee the quality of publications (though it is not infallible). Since a rather large number of articles are published and then corrigenda or retractations are made for any reason, post-publication peer review leaves open the possibility of correcting and “reopening” the review process at any time as well as having as many review rounds as needed either close to the moment of sending or after its acceptation. This element is not possible in other kinds of review where, once the article is accepted, no further evaluations are made

A cotton gin, like any business, must make a reasonable profit for its investors. Profitability depends on a business supplying reliable and quality service to its customers. Good service depends on good management and good management has many facets and responsibilities. These responsibilities include carrying out the owners/board of directors’ business objectives, establishing and maintaining good customer relations, having a working knowledge of the entire cotton production and utilization chain, maintaining good employee relations, ensuring a safe working environment is provided, having a good equipment maintenance/replacement program, and always being aware of current crop and market conditions. A good gin manager wears many hats and this article reviews some of the best practices of a manager that enables a well-run cotton gin.
Glufosinate Rate and Timing for Control of Glyphosate-Resistant Rhizomatous Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) in Glufosinate-Resistant Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)
Authors: Landry Randall L. , Stephenson IV Daniel O. , Woolam Brandi C.
Published: January 2023

Johnsongrass was documented as resistant to glyphosate in 2010. Consequentially, strategies to mitigate and/or manage glyphosate-resistant (GR) johnsongrass in Louisiana cotton are needed. Field experiments were conducted in Louisiana from 2011 through 2013 to evaluate the number and timing of glufosinate applications for control of GR johnsongrass in glufosinate-resistant(GLR) cotton. Treatments included two or three glufosinate applications during the season with the initial application applied 2 or 4 wk after planting, and sequential applications applied 2 or 3 wk after the initial application. In treatments with two applications, 880 g ha-1 of glufosinate followed by (fb) 590 g ha-1 of glufosinate were applied. Glufosinate at 590 g ha-1 was sequentially applied for treatments with three applications. Following two applications, delaying the sequential application from 2 to 3 wk after the initial application reduced control from 95 to 85% 14 d after final glufosinate treatment (DAT), but no differences in control with sequential timings was observed following three applications. Similar results were observed 21 DAT, except with three applications separated by 3 wk, which controlled johnsongrass 97% compared to 86% when sequential applications were spaced 2 wk apart. In addition, three applications spaced 3 wk apart reduced johnsongrass heights to 22% of the nontreated. Cotton yield was increased following two applications that were initiated 4 wk after application (WAP) (1000 kg ha-1) compared to 2 WAP (620 kg ha-1). Data indicate three glufosinate applications separated by 3 wk will provide season-long GR johnsongrass control and maximize cotton yield in GLR cotton.

With the registration of pyraclostrobin (Headline) and azoxystrobin (Quadris) in the United States for protection of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) foliage and bolls against fungal diseases, there has been increased interest in efficacy of the fungicides on mid- to late-season diseases and whether there are non-fungicidal plant health benefits. A total of 15 field trials were conducted throughout cotton growing regions of the United States between the 2008 and 2010 growing seasons. Applications of azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin were made at the following rates and timings: 0.22 kg ai ha-1 at first bloom (FB); 0.11 kg ai ha-1 at FB with a sequential application being made 14-21 days later; and 0.11 kg ai ha-1 at FB with a second application (0.22 kg ai ha-1) 14-21 days later. Cotton height, total nodes, lint yield, and fiber quality parameters were used to compare treatments, which included a non-treated control. There were no significant treatment differences with respect to most parameters, including yield. Overall, disease pressure was low, but foliar symptoms, caused by Alternaria macrospora (3 tests in Jackson, TN), and Stemphylium solani + Cercospora gossypina (1 site in Statesboro, GA), were observed, as well as hardlock and boll rot in selected trials in Mississippi and Tennessee. It is concluded that application of fungicides in cotton should be based on disease risk and the potential of environmental conditions conducive for foliar disease development during the growing season.
Ozone Impacts on Carbon Dynamics in Cotton
Authors: Grantz David A.
Published: January 2023

Ozone (O3) is a secondary atmospheric pollutant that causes widespread damage to vegetation, including cotton. The high temperatures and abundant sunlight that lead to good cotton yields also lead to production of O3. The early crop loss experiments of the 1970s identified upland cotton as particularly sensitive to O3. Exposure to ambient concentrations of O3 resulted in a 10 to >15% loss in economic yield. More recent experiments with modern cultivars have confirmed damage to upland and Pima cultivars but have not assessed yield loss under agronomic conditions. It is likely that selection for yield in high O3 environments has led to inadvertent selection for tolerance to O3. Ozone reduces yield and fiber quality, mediated by O3-induced changes in gross photosynthesis, respiration, and translocation of current photosynthate out of source leaves. Ozone typically reduces root development and the root-to-shoot biomass ratio, which has secondary effects on plant growth and development and on water relations. Ozone also reduces stomatal conductance as a primary defense against entry of O3 into the plant, but this also restricts entry of CO2 and therefore photosynthesis. Ozone is clearly phytotoxic and impacts cotton as well as other species. Recent research has led to understanding many aspects of the mechanism of O3 damage and could lead to targeted approaches to improving O3 tolerance, and therefore, yield in O3-impacted production areas.
COTTON GINNERS HANDBOOK (2016 REVISED EDITION)
Authors: Hughs Sidney E.
Published: January 2023

The function of separating cotton fiber from the cottonseed (ginning) has been done mechanically since prehistoric times by simple wooden or metal rollers used to manually squeeze the seed apart from the fiber. Eli Whitney’s 1794 patent of the spiked tooth cotton gin and Henry Ogden Holmes’s 1796 patent of the saw tooth cotton gin significantly increased the ability of cotton producers to economically produce raw cotton fiber to be made into cotton textiles and were the predecessors of today’s modern cotton ginning plants. The separation of the cotton fiber from the seed and preservation of the cotton fiber quality is still the principal function of the modern cotton gin. However, the modern cotton ginning plant is a highly mechanized processing system that controls moisture and removes foreign materials while handling, transporting and packaging many tons per hour of bulk cottonseed and baled cotton fiber. Cotton gins must produce a raw ginned cotton fiber of a quality that maximizes its value for the producer while meeting the high demands of the textile industry and ultimately the consumer. Designing, operating and maintaining today’s cotton gin plant is a highly specialized field that continues to demand increasing technical knowledge and skills. This new Cotton Ginners Handbook addresses and updates changes over the past 20 years in ginning issues such as fiber quality, machinery maintenance and operation, moisture control, seed cotton and cotton fiber cleaning, energy use, waste handling and collection, and gin safety as well as gin management and state and federal air pollution regulatory requirements. The authors of the various chapters of this handbook hope that the information presented will help the U.S. cotton industry maintain its reputation of quality and service.

An experiment was conducted to remove seed coat fragments (SCF) with a saw-type lint cleaner using newly designed grid bars. The test consisted of one control and five experimental grid bar designs, and a treatment that contained no lint cleaning (No LC). Two types of cotton were used, a common upland cultivar and a cultivar known to have a fragile seed coat that breaks easily and contaminates lint with SCF. Results showed that fiber from the Acala cultivar was longer, more uniform, contained less short fiber, had fewer neps, and fewer seed coat neps (SCN) than the fragile cultivar. There were differences in fiber properties among lint cleaning treatments, but those differences were between the treatment that contained No LC and the grid bar treatments collectively. Visible foreign matter in ginned lint was not different among lint cleaning treatments. Both AFIS seed coat nep count and a manual count of SCF, which were used as indicators for SCF, were not different among lint cleaning treatments. As expected, fiber in the lint cleaner waste was shorter, and contained more short fiber and more neps than fiber in the bale, but SCN count in the lint cleaner waste also was not different among grid bar designs. High-speed videography showed that SCF were not removed by colliding with the grid bars, but were actually drawn back into the lint stream by attached fiber. Other means to separate SCF from ginned fiber are being investigated.

A large-plot study located in Halfway, TX, was conducted from 2007 to 2013 in an irrigated field infested with Verticillium wilt. Management options (crop rotation, irrigation amount, variety selection) and combinations of options that can reduce this disease were compared using returns above variable costs (RVC) analysis. A continuous cotton system was compared with a crop rotation system (2-yr cotton and 1-yr sorghum). Irrigation rates consisted of a base (1.0B), base + 50% (1.5B), and base - 50% (0.5B) rates. From 2007 to 2009, 1.0B targeted 80% of the evapotranspiration (ET) needs of cotton, and from 2010 to 2013, 1.0B targeted 60% ET. Varieties planted were tolerant or susceptible to Verticillium wilt. Data collected included wilt incidence, cotton lint yield, loan value for lint, sorghum yield, fertilizer types and amounts, and total irrigation applied. Cotton prices were approximately $1.15 and $1.54/kg lint ($0.52 to $0.70/lb) (adjusted up or down by actual loan value of cotton fiber), and sorghum was valued at $0.185/ kg ($8.40/cwt). Crop rotation generally resulted in higher RVC than continuous cotton, although higher cotton prices, and ET = 60% (drier conditions) could result in both systems having similar RVC. The 1.5B rate had higher RVC, but as irrigation increased above 80% of cotton needs, RVC was reduced compared with 1.0B. The 0.5B rate resulted in lower RVC than the 1.0B rate, except when ET = 80% and a susceptible variety was grown. The 1.5B rate combined with a tolerant variety always had higher RVC than growing a susceptible variety. The combinations of 1.5B rate and growing continuous cotton resulted in the most Verticillium wilt. Conditions that aggravated Verticillium wilt resulted in lower RVC.

Based on database information about the active existence of the Food and Nutrition Security Municipal Councils in the state of São Paulo in 2017, we suggest a territorial characterization focusing on two indicators: HDI (Human Development Index) and VPA (Value of Agricultural Production). The results indicate four possible scenarios to understand municipal diversity and priority actions. The intention is to offer an initial diagnosis that can guide public power, business sectors and civil society during the construction and management of government policies on food and nutritional security in the State of São Paulo.

The Ribeira Valley in the 1990s was the largest producer of freshwater fish from the state of São Paulo. Fish farming can once again be highlighted if the obstacles in the production chain are overcome. The objective of this study was to economically evaluate the production of Nile tilapia and pacu in nurseries excavated in rural properties in the Ribeira Valley, southern state of São Paulo. The mean values obtained on the properties were 0.5 kg of final weight for tilapia and 1.0 kg for pacu, apparent feed conversion of 2:1 for tilapia and 1.3:1 for pacu and survival of 76,6% for tilapia and 55.9% for pacu. The economic data, per cycle, also for the properties studied, showed an average disbursement of R$2,900.52, gross income of R$2,689.42, net negative income of R$211.10 and a total operating cost of R$5.75 per kilogram. The creation of Nile tilapia and pacu represented a profitable investment in some properties.

This study evaluates the economic outcome of a study on confined lamb crossings for meat production taking into account two weaning ages and two slaughter weights: weaning age of 60 days with two slaughter weights respectively of 32 and 38 kg, and weaning age of 90 days and 32 and 38 kg slaughter weights. The genetic groups used in the study were Dorper, Ille-de-France, Santa Inês, Texel crossed with the Brazilian Santa Inês breed. Economic performances expressed as average profit per head varied depending on genetic groups and slaughter ages and weights. The Dorper was more profitable at 60 days of weaning age and slaughter weight of 32 kg (profit R $ / head = 37.14). Under the experimental conditions prevailing in the study for the 60-day weaning age and 38 kg slaughter weight, Ille-de-Fance had the highest profit (R $ / head = 67.72). Santa Inês obtained the best economic result with weaning at 90 days and slaughter weight of 32 kg (profit R $ / head = 59.46). The highest average profit per head fell to the genetic group ½ Ille de France and ½ Santa Inês (profit R $ / head = 105.03), with 90 days of age at weaning and slaughter weight of 38 kg.
