Background: Dengue fever (DF) is a viral infection carried by Aedesaegypti. Dengue is one of the major public health concerns and an emergent disease and contributes annual outbreaks in India. The aims and objectives of the study were to know the levels of knowledge regarding causation and modes of transmission Dengue fever in urban slums of Chittoor and to know the levels of awareness and practices regarding the prevention and control measures against dengue fever.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was done in urban slums of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh. The data from the family members residing in 100 households of urban slums were randomly selected from the list and interviewed individually. Apart from education and occupation of the participants, information on knowledge about Dengue fever, preventive practices are taken. The results were shown in proportions, percentage and association of the knowledge attitude and practices with the different factors.Results: Over all 100 (males 57 and females 43) people were interviewed with the mean age of 34.5 years. Almost 68% of the individuals knew mosquito causes vector borne diseases irrespective of their educational status and majority of them were daily wagers. Amongst them more than 70% of them were using protective measures. Majority of them responded the probable breeding sites were plastic pots, muddy pots and vessels (38%). The most commonly using protective measures were mosquito repellants (33%) and coils (19%). More than 90% of the individual visit the hospital for health seeking.Conclusions: The awareness regarding dengue and mosquito control measures was satisfactory to an extent. Surveillance along with periodic health education to the community and proper training of health personnel is required.

Authors: Dutt Rekha , Chaudhuri Susmita , Goswami Shweta
Published: July 2017

Background: Deaths in productive age group due to HIV/AIDS have damaging impact on families and communities, skills are lost, workforce shrinks & children's are orphaned. Our study reports the socio-demographic characteristics of HIV/ AIDS clients from one of the Integrated Counselling & Testing Centre (ICTC) situated at Amtala, West Bengal. This will give us an insight on the distribution of various epidemiological characteristics of the HIV positive clients in this region thus help in formulating strategies for effective implementation of its prevention. The objective was to study socio-demographic profile and risk behavior pattern of HIV positive clients attending ICTC.Methods: It was an observational study cross sectional in design. Records of last eight years of HIV positive clients were accessed from ICTC centre at Amtala hospital, rural training centre, Department of community medicine, ESI PGIMSR medical college, Joka, Kolkata. Data was entered in SPSS for Windows version 20 software. Data was presented in percentages, mean with standard deviation etc.Results: Retrospective record of 62 HIV positive clients was studied, of them 37 were males (5 pediatric cases) and 25 females (7 ANC).Excluding pediatric clients, mean age of clients was 32 years. It was observed that majority of clients were illiterate and were on daily wages. Except one male client who was homosexual rest were heterosexual. Majority of clients 71.9% males and 92% females were married, of them 45.3% males and 34.7% females were sero concordant with their spouse. Seventeen subjects were co infected with TB.Conclusions: HIV sero prevalence rate has inverse relation with literacy level. Majority of male clients were daily wagers who act as link between high risk populations to general population i.e. their spouse, which in turn can pass on the infection to her baby. Lack of knowledge on mode of spread and preventive measures against HIV infection devastate the families making many children orphaned. There is need to carry out intense IEC activities for behavior change at grass root level.
Prevalence and determinants of caesarean section in a rural community of Nalgonda District, Telangana
Authors: Karna Jahnavi , Malhotra Varun M.
Published: July 2017

Background: The rapid increase of caesarean section rates globally is a public health concern because rates higher than those recommended by WHO do not contribute to improved maternal health and pregnancy outcome. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of caesarean section, establish relationship of relevant variables with caesarean section, and identify temporal trends of c-sec rates in rural populace of Nalgonda. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional analytic study was undertaken in rural field practice area of Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences. Data were collected on structured questionnaire from selected and consenting women in reproductive age group who had delivered since 01 January 2000. Results: Our study included 224 study subjects who have undergone 389 deliveries. Of these 54% were by caesarean section and 46% were normal deliveries. Age of mother, type of family, educational status of mother, height of mother and place of delivery were identified as relevant variables. Their association with C-sec rates and time trend of c-sec rates are presented. Conclusions: Multi centre, large-sampled and ‘in depth’ studies are needed to analyze the problem of very high caesarean section rates. These would provide qualitative and quantitative data to plan strategies to reduce the prevalence of a surgical procedure that if carried out on ‘non-medical grounds’ has the potential to cause obstetrical and neonatal complications, and significant economical and health-planning implications.

Authors: Mendhe Harshal Gajanan , Burra Lavanya , Singh Daneshwar , Narni Hanumanth
Published: July 2017

Background: Cardiac arrest is a substantial public health problem estimated to account for 15–20% of all death. It is documented that a timely performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can largely prevent sudden death. Being important members of the health care delivery team, medical professionals and nursing staff are deemed to pass the basic skills and expertise which are needed to perform CPR. The principle objectives of the research project are to assess knowledge and attitude of CPR and to compare knowledge regarding CPR among medical and nursing students.Methods: It was a cross sectional study for duration of 2 month from March 2013 to April 2013, conducted among 100 nursing and medical interns of a tertiary care institute in Vijayawada (A.P). Pre tested structured questionnaire of 2010 American health association guidelines for CPR and basic life support (BLS) Practice Test of National Health Care Provider Solutions of 30 questions were used to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among study participants. Results: The median for knowledge score of MBBS interns was 6 with inter-quartile range 2 and the median for the knowledge score of nursing interns was 6 with inter-quartile range 1. The median for the practice score for MBBS interns was 5 with inter-quartile range of 2.25 and median for practice score in case of nursing interns was 4 with inter-quartile range 2. 36% of MBBS interns had poor knowledge score and 46% of nursing interns had poor knowledge score. Conclusions: The present study identified the knowledge and practice score of BLS or CPR which is poor in both medical and nursing students, even though they have positive and good attitude towards it. BLS training should be the part of the curriculum to solve this issue.

Service Quality in Public Hospitals in Gauteng Province, South Africa: an Ethical Approach to Translate Current Practices Into ‘People’ Strategy
Authors: Dr E Zigiriadis A Nicolaides,
Published: July 2017

It is not easy for all South Africans to access health services and it is often the case that public healthcare facilities are often undersupplied and offer poor quality service to outpatients. The expectations and experiences of outpatients vary considerably and the perception of many is that they would rather not bother to visit a facility. This in itself is highly problematic since those who keep away and who are afflicted with communicable diseases will in all likelihood spread their disease, with what could be dire outcomes. This paper is based on a literature exploratory overview and suggests an ethics paradigm infused with quality excellence, for public service hospitals which it is proposed, require greater moral intensity, leadership, design with strategic focus, effective change management and above all, a culture of engagement with all stakeholders especially outpatients. The postulations in this paper may serve as a basis for building better ethically driven quality into the provision of services in public hospitals in South Africa. The guidelines which are proposed could be used practically in health care provision so as to identify quality gaps and offer concrete solutions for quality improvement in public hospitals.

Authors: Dr. Juily Aher Dr. Vikrant Bhagvat , Dr. Tarun Shetty ,
Published: July 2017

Infections with Entamoeba histolytica are seen worldwide and are more prevalent in the tropics. About 90% of infections are asymptomatic, and the remaining 10% produce a spectrum of clinical syndromes, ranging from dysentery to abscesses of the liver or other organs. Extra-intestinal infection by Entamoeba histolytica most often involves liver. Pleuropulmonary involvement, seen as the second most common extra-intestinal pattern of infection, is frequently associated with amebic liver abscess. Pulmonary amebiasis occurs in about 2-3% of patients with invasive amebiasis. .

A contaminação de praças públicas por ovos de geohelmintos constitui um problema de saúde pública. Nesses locais, ovos ou larvas podem permanecer por muito tempo, até que a infecção ocorra. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a contaminação ambiental por ovos de Ancylostoma spp. e Toxocara spp. em amostras de solos coletadas de praças públicas de Valença, Rio de Janeiro. O trabalho englobou seis praças próximas ao centro da cidade. Foram colhidos 50g de solo de cinco pontos diferentes de cada praça, totalizando-se 30 amostras. Utilizou-se as técnicas de centrífugo-flutuaçãoem solução saturada de açúcar e de Hoffman. A contaminação somente por ovos de Ancylostoma spp. foi de 66,6% (4/6), sendo encontrados ovos em 30% (9/30) das amostras de solo analisadas. A ocorrência de ovos de Ancylostoma spp. nas praças públicas de Valença enfatiza a importância da adoção de medidas restritivas rígidas que impeçam a entrada de animais em locais de recreação para crianças, pois não apenas este, mas outros parasitas são capazes de comprometer a saúde humana e atuar como forma de infecção no ambiente para outros animais.

Published: July 2017

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento e a prática em Educação Ambiental (EA) dos discentes de escolas privadas e públicas (estaduais e federais) do ensino médio da cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ. A partir de um questionário contendo sete perguntas, foram analisados 2585 discentes vinculados a 1ª e 3ª série de doze escolas da cidade. Na análise dos dados foram usadas média, erro padrão, teste t de student e análise de variância. Na opinião dos discentes a EA não é abordada com frequência nas disciplinas, apesar de considerarem que seus professores são, na maioria dos casos, aptos para ensinar o tema. Os alunos das escolas privadas obtiveram as melhores notas (75% de acertos) e um avanço significativo de conhecimento em EA entre a 1ª e a 3ª série. O mesmo não ocorre nas escolas públicas, demonstrando uma estagnação de conhecimento nesta área ao longo do ensino médio. Os alunos das escolas estaduais acertaram, em média, 73% das questões, enquanto que na rede federal de ensino estes acertaram 67%. O avanço no conhecimento ambiental ao longo da permanência do discente no ensino médio deveria ser melhorado nas escolas, principalmente nas públicas, considerando o aspecto genérico das perguntas do questionário. O fato preocupante foi observar que nas escolas públicas não há avanço de conhecimento nesta área entre a 1ª e a 3ª série. Portanto, é necessária uma abordagem mais efetiva nas práticas desenvolvidas no ambiente escolar relativas as questões ambientais.

Há consenso sobre a importância da adoção de estratégias de atenção integral à saúde focadas na prevenção do aparecimento de comorbidades, dentre inúmeros fatores, tais como: envelhecimento da população, sobrevida das doenças infecciosas, sendo que uma parcela importante pode ser atribuída ao controle inadequado dos fatores associados ao desenvolvimento dessas doenças. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar e avaliar o perfil dos pacientes acompanhados em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), com a perspectiva de prevenção de sofrimento de um evento coronariano agudo, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos atores sociais do Noroeste Fluminense. O universo da pesquisa foi a UBS do bairro Horto Florestal, Itaperuna/RJ, onde foi realizado um estudo analítico observacional transversal compreendendo a aplicação da Escala de Framingham. Os critérios de inclusão foram pacientes em idade entre 30 e 74 anos, de forma randomizada, no período de agosto/2014, abril/2015. Dentre os preditores ressaltam-se LDL colesterol, HDL colesterol, pressão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus, tabagismo. Faz-se mister elucidar os resultados mais significativos: 44,8% dos indivíduos pontuaram risco através do HDL colesterol; quanto aos níveis de pressão arterial, mais de 50% somaram pontos no escore. Referindo-se ao diabetes, 16,2% apresentaram a doença e ao tabagismo, 20%, sendo que estes dois últimos agravam ainda mais o risco de evento cardiovascular. Estudos embasados na integração com a rede de serviços de saúde contribuem para a prevenção de agravos, constituindo-se estratégias significativas para a construção de um país mais justo, onde a saúde promove cidadania na sua integralidade.

Published: July 2017

A study was conducted in interspecific cotton hybrids (Gossypium hirsutum L. × Gossypium barbadense L.) to assess the extent of the heterosis for eight yield and yield attributing traits. Twelve lines of G. hirsutum and five testers of G. barbadense were crossed in line x tester manner to develop 60 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed the significant differences among the crosses for all traits. Heterosis was worked out over mid parent, better parent and two standard checks i.e. MRC 7918 and Varalaxmi. Crosses RAH1065 x SUJALA, PH1075 x SUJALA, PH348 x SUJALA and DHY286 x Suvin were the best heterotic combinations for seed cotton yield and could be utilized for hybrid development. These hybrids were shown desirable heterosis for seed cotton yield along with other yield components. These hybrids may be tested in large scale trial to confirm the superiority in heterosis.
ENTRE A PRAGMÁTICA LINGUÍSTICA E A HERMENÊUTICA FILOSÓFICA: HEGEL E OS DESAFIOS DE UMA ESTRUTURAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA DA EXPERIÊNCIA
Authors: Lima Erick
Published: July 2017

Resumo: Gostaria aqui de contribuir tanto à compreensão das concepções de Hegel acerca da linguagem, quanto para uma apreciação da interlocução entre estas concepções e alguns desenvolvimentos na filosofia pós-hegeliana. O tema mais geral consiste em evidenciar os esforços de Hegel para estabelecer uma relação intrínseca entre experiência e linguagem. Primeiramente, tomando como ponto de partida questões diretivas da epistemologia moderna, gostaria de compreender traços da concepção hegeliana de linguagem no contexto de uma tematização intersubjetivista da validade objetiva (1). Em segundo lugar, gostaria de refletir sobre a relação entre metafísica inferencial e cognição (2). Finalmente, depois de tentar respaldar a tese de que Hegel antecipa a questão de uma tensão entre o gramatical e a historicidade do léxico (3), mostro como a conexão entre a guinada ontológica na hermenêutica e a doutrina hegeliana da sentença especulativa conduz à experiência do incabamento linguístico do sentido poético (4).Abstract: The paper a|empts to examine Hegel´s comprehension of language and evaluate its relation to some themes in contemporary philosophy. The main target consists in pointing out Hegel´s attempt to account for the linguistic structure of experience. To begin with, I consider Hegel´s comprehension of language in an epistemological context as an effort to ground intersubjective justification of objective validity. Then I discuss the relation between cognition and inferential metaphysics. Finally, after arguing that Hegel anticipates the tension between grammar and lexical historicity, I attempt to show how the connection between the ontological turn in hermeneutics and Hegel´s idea of the “speculative sentence” leads to the experience of unfinishedness of poetic meaning.

Resumo: É aparentemente clara a posição de Aristóteles sobre o conhecimento científico ao negar que possa haver ciência do que é mutável. A ciência apresenta a causa e trata do necessário, daquilo que não pode ser diferente do que é. Todavia, em Segundos Analíticos I 30, Metafísica k 8 e E 2, Retórica I 10 e Primeiros Analíticos I 27, eventos cuja ocorrência não é nem necessária, nem acidental, mas se dá no mais das vezes (ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ), aparecem como objetos que podem ser analisados cientificamente.Abstract: Aristotle’s position about the scientific knowledge is evidently clear when he denies that there might be science of mutable things. Science presentes the cause and deals with the necessary, things that cannot be diverent from what they are. However, in Posterior Analytics I 30, Metaphysics K 8 and E 2, Rhetoric I 10 and Prior Analytics I 27, events whose occurrence is not necessary or accidental, but happen in most cases (ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ), appear as objects which can be analyzed scienti-cally.

Resumo: A questão de Deus é exposta neste segundo artigo assim como Lima Vaz a compreendeu em sua leitura de Agostinho e Tomás de Aquino. Trata-se da exposição da teologia filosófica cristã que resultou do diálogo fecundo mas tenso da Palavra da revelação bíblico-cristã com o cosmocentrismo da filosofia grega, clássica e helenística.Abstract: The question of God is explained in this second article as Lima Vaz understood it in his reading of Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. It is the exposition of the Christian philosophical theology that resulted from the fruitful but tense dialogue between the Word of the biblical- Christian revelation and the cosmocentrism of the classical and Hellenistic Greek philosophy.
Time-Resolved Characterization of Dynamic Tribochemical Processes for Dicationic Imidazolium Ionic Liquid
Authors: Nevshupa Roman , Conte Marcello , Guerra Silvia , Roman Elisa
Published: July 2017

Dynamic tribochemical processes for dicationic ionic liquid containing a germinal imidazolium cation head groups bridged by a poly(ethylene glycol) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were studied using time-resolved Mechanically Stimulated Gas Emission Mass-Spectrometry (MSGE-MS). In comparison with similar monocationic imidazolium ionic liquids with short alkylic or long polyether side chains the dicationic ionic liquid had lower coefficient of friction on Ti6Al4V alloy and smoother behaviour. The analysis of volatile decomposition products suggested multiple tribochemical reactions in which both anionic and cationic moieties are involved. Tribochemical degradation of cations was mainly through detachment of the side and bridging chains from the imidazolium head groups. Absence of volatile products containing nitrogen implies that imidazole group remained unchanged. Hydrogen and water desorption were attributed to the reactions of hydrogen fluoride being a product of anion degradation with titanium and titanium oxide.
A aplicabilidade do método das unidades de esforço de produção em uma panificadora: evidências de um estudo de caso

Published: July 2017

Micro and small enterprises, such as those that typically make up the baking industry, usually lack the resources to invest in complex management tools. A relatively simple alternative to help in cost control and evaluation of productive performance is the Production Effort Units (UEPs - from the Portuguese Unidades de Esforço de Produção) method, which is usually applied to industrial enterprises. This study aims to present consistent evidence that the UEPs method is applicable to a bakery and, to this end, a case study was developed in a small bakery in João Pessoa/PB, using the theoretical basis presented by Bornia (2010) and Kliemann Neto (1994). This work has a descriptive purpose, in which bibliographic research, documentary research and case study were used as methods. The research is classified as qualitative and quantitative, and data collection was based on company documents, timing, unstructured interviews and observation of the production process. The case study demonstrated that the UEPs method was implemented with the use of common spreadsheets, providing the transformation costs and the indicators for the control of productive performance. The results suggest that the UEPs method is applicable to the baking process.

Authors: Ramos Ricardo Rezende , Ferreira Marta Lucia Azevedo
Published: July 2017

This article discusses the topic of technological cooperation in the Brazilian oil sector from the perspective of academy-industry interactions and open innovation through a case study. We present the management of a cooperative Research and Development (R&D) project between two Brazilian universities, a national medium-sized supplier (producer) and Petrobras (user) within the framework of the C&T-Industry Integration Network in the National Productive Process (RICT), one of the thematic networks created by the operator to enable technological cooperation. We verified that the continuous and systemic interactions among the partners were essential for the development of technological innovation by integrating different fields of knowledge such as industrial networks, automation and mechanics and resulted in a new wireless communication system to be implemented in Petrobras industrial plants. In addition, the project generated value through the generation of specialized human resources, new scientific publications, research agendas, ideas, concepts and solutions, as well as the creation of a technology-based company. Despite the challenges inherent in the management of the cooperative multi-partner R&D project, the previous experience of academic research groups interacting with industry and the learning generated were of great relevance for both Petrobras and the supplier company.

Today, the process of building an enterprise is based on printed and disconnected documents. There is a global tendency that a project is designed by many companies and different teams, however computer tools used in present time are the same from decades ago. Due to the chang in paradigm, the methodology known as building information modeling (BIM) is little by little finding space in the area of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Moved by the process of transition, this research aims to study and evaluate the integration between a BIM modeling platform and a tool for structural analysis. In order to achieve the expected result, it was used a structural project of a real enterprise, first using traditional methodologies, or in other words, based on 2D indepenendent documents. The project was modeled in 3D with an integrated database according to BIM, with the support of the software Autodesk Revit Structure 2012. The model was then exported to the software for structural analysis Autodesk Robot 2012. Strategies for integration are tested and the best practices are described in detail. The results found suggest the use of the methodology in structural analysis is promising, and its implementation must be seriously considered in Brazil.

Published: July 2017

Open innovation is still after a decade an emergent topic in literature and, because of this, there are few gaps to be explored. Two of these gaps are the relationship between open innovation and entrepreneurship and open innovation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), because most studies focus on large enterprises. Our research question in this study is: what do case studies report in terms of open innovation in start-ups or SMEs that would be related to entrepreneurial orientation? Our study is a meta-synthesis of qualitative case studies following the stages presented by Hoon (2013). A theory was developed and presented considering the entrepreneurial orientation dimensions and open innovation activities. In the concluding section, limitations and suggestions in terms of future works were presented.

Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar os parâmetros fermentativos ruminal in vitro da inclusão de resíduo de feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) em substituição à torta de algodão. Os tratamentos experimentais foram constituídos pela substituição da torta de algodão nos níveis de 0, 33, 66 e 100% por resíduo de feijão. O preparo das amostras foi realizado utilizando 500 mg de amostra seca ao ar, moída a 1 mm, onde imediatamente após a adição do inoculo, os frascos receberam tampa de borracha, lacre de alumínio e foram colocados em banho-maria, com agitação orbital, a 39ºC. As leituras de pressão foram realizadas por meio de um transdutor de pressão nos seguintes tempos: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 e 96 horas. A cinética da produção cumulativa dos gases foi analisada empregando-se o modelo logístico bicompartimental. O volume final de gases da fração de carboidratos não-fibrosos das dietas não apresentou efeito significativo (p>0,05), enquanto a taxa de degradação da fração de carboidratos não-fibrosos, o volume de gases da fração de carboidratos fibrosos, a taxa de degradação da fração de carboidratos não-fibrosos e a latência apresentaram aumento linear significativo (p<0,05). A adição do resíduo de feijão em substituição à torta de algodão potencializa uma maior disponibilização de nutrientes devido à melhora dos parâmetros ruminais in vitro.

En la zona central de la República Argentina, existen explotaciones ovinas que poseen individuos con denominaciones raciales heterogéneas, cuya producción se orienta a un propósito carnicero, generando lana de calidad diversa, correspondiente en su mayoría al tipo gruesa, mayor a 28 micras. Se debería pensar en la posibilidad de realizar mezclas de lana para resaltar virtudes que las habilita para utilidades como la industria tapicera y la confección de alfombras, dicha industria requiere determinadas características en las variables de calidad de lana, tal como la voluminosidad, para que la misma sea utilizada de manera eficiente. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar la producción de lana en ovinos de la región central argentina, respecto de sus variables de calidad de lana, ponderando la voluminosidad y determinar la influencia de otras variables en función de la misma. Se relevaron ovinos de la región central de la República Argentina, utilizando la técnica de muestreo denominada bola de nieve. Se empleo la metodología demográfica denominada estructura poblacional. Se alcanzo un total de 1741 ovinos en 18 unidades productivas. Se realizó una sujeción de los animales aplicando las técnicas semiológicas propias para la especie ovina. Se estableció como denominación a la apariencia general del individuo en correspondencia con características propias de estándares raciales. Durante la esquila, se pesó el vellón de cada ovino. Se tomaron en forma individual muestras de lana, en las que se determinaron, color, tipo de mecha, largo de mecha, rizos por centímetro, rinde al lavado, diámetro medio de fibra y voluminosidad. Para este estudio se dispuso de datos de 1329 ovinos. En el análisis estadístico se utilizaron medidas de resumen, frecuencias absolutas y relativas, gráficos de distribución empírica de las variables, análisis de varianza, correlación y regresión lineal múltiple. Dentro del total de lana existente el 63,94% es gruesa (˃ 28 μm), de esta el 81,29% presenta voluminosidad ˃25 cm3/g, que es el 52% del total de los ovinos relevados. Se infiere que la voluminosidad está relacionada con otras variables además del diámetro medio. En la región central argentina la producción ovina aporta lana en mayor proporción gruesa, la mayor parte de esta con caracteres que le confieren una voluminosidad ˃25 cm3/g, que es una característica requerida por la industria textil de tapicería. El recurso lanar existente, posee condiciones aptas para su aplicabilidad en la industria textil de tapicería y confección de alfombras, revalorizando así su producción, pudiéndose incrementar la misma a través de métodos simples de selección e incorporación de animales con mayor voluminosidad.

Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da inclusão do líquido da casca da castanha de caju (LCCt) na dieta de bovinos alimentados com dietas ricas em grão, sobre a ingestão e o coeficiente de digestibilidade ruminal e total dos nutrientes; as características de fermentação ruminal, eficiência de síntese microbiana no rúmen e parâmetro sanguíneo, através do nitrogênio ureico plasmático. Foram utilizados quatro novilhos da raça Holandesa (445 ± 23,39 kg de peso vivo) providos de cânula ruminal e duodenal, recebendo uma dieta com 144 g kg-1 de proteína bruta e 799 g kg-1 de nutrientes digestíveis totais, com uma relação volumoso:concentrado de 15:85. O delineamento experimental foi o quadrado latino 4 x 4 com 10 dias de períodos experimentais. As dietas foram compostas de 0, 300, 600 e 1200 mg de LCCt na matéria seca (MS) do concentrado. A ingestão e os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente total dos nutrientes, com base na MS, não foram influenciados pela inclusão de LCCt na dieta. O coeficiente de digestibilidade ruminal (CDR) do extrato etéreo apresentou resposta quadrática, em que os animais que consumiram 0 e 300 mg LCCt d-1 apresentaram menores valores de CDR. O uso do LCCt não influenciou o nitrogênio amoniacal no rúmen, o nitrogênio ureico plasmático e a eficiência de síntese microbiana. No entanto, houve tendência de maior pH ruminal quando os animais consumiram o LCCt.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la adición de diferentes niveles (0, 1,5, 3 y 4,5%) de zeolita en dietas integrales de finalización sobre la respuesta productiva y la eficiencia en la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta de ovinos de pelo. Para lo anterior, 40 ovinos machos ¾Katahdin × ¼Pelibuey (peso inicial = 32,28±2,34 kg) se asignaron a 20 corraletas (2 ovinos/corraleta, 5 corrales/tratamiento) alimentándose durante 75 días con alguno de los 4 tratamientos. Las dietas ofrecidas fueron tipo integral. La dieta testigo (sin zeolita) contenía 16,51% de proteína cruda (PC) y 1,39 McalENg/kg y la cantidad total de zeolita incluida en cada tratamiento sustituyó al maíz y a la pasta de soja en partes iguales. Por cada nivel de sustitución del maíz-pasta de soja se disminuyó la concentración de PC en 0,11 puntos porcentuales y la energía neta en 0,03 Mcal/kg. El sustituir maíz y pasta de soja por zeolita hasta un nivel de 1,5% en la dieta no afectó el consumo de materia seca (MS), la ganancia diaria, la eficiencia alimenticia, la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta (EN observada sobre la EN esperada) o la retención aparente de energía por unidad de MS consumida. El aumentar a el nivel de suplementación de zeolita por encima de 1,5% incrementó la eficiencia alimenticia, la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta y la retención aparente de energía por unidad de MS consumida siendo la respuesta máxima para el nivel de inclusión de 3% (componente cuadrático, p<0,01). Con respecto al grupo testigo, la inclusión de 3% de zeolita a la dieta mejoró (p<0,01) en 6,8% la eficiencia alimenticia, en 8.4% la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta y en 8,9% la retención aparente de energía por unidad de MS consumida. La inclusión de zeolita por encima de 1,5% a dieta de finalización mejora la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta. En base al rendimiento productivo y la eficiencia en la utilización de la energía neta de la dieta, la respuesta óptima observada para los corderosen el presente estudio fue con el 3% de inclusión de zeolita.
