title: PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF BOVINE MILK IN DIFFERENT PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND SEASONS

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the interaction between production systems and seasons on physical-chemical and microbiological qualities of bovine milk. Three farms were assessed monthly, along the seasons, for four specialization levels of the production systems: highly specialized, specialized, partially specialized, and non-specialized. In terms of milk quality, the levels of fat, protein, total solids, somatic cell count, total bacterial count, titratable acidity in degrees Dornic, density, cryoscopic index, alizarol stability, potential of hydrogen (pH) and methylene blue reduction test. In addition, due to their importance for the industrial yield of protein-based dairy products, total milk protein fractionation was performed in protein equivalent of non-protein nitrogen, true protein and casein.The milk Dornic acidity was higher in spring and winter, while the highest somatic cell count values were in the summer. Total and true protein levels were lower during the summer and total solids increased in the autumn. With the decrease in the levels of specialization of farms, there was an increase in total bacterial count and decrease in non-protein nitrogen. The density presented an inverse behavior to that of the fat while the hydrogen potential (pH) was expressed in a way antagonistic to the acidity. In the multivariate analysis of the data it was possible to identify the combinations between production strata and stations that presented the best milk protein quality. In this sense, all the arrangements of production systems with autumn, winter highly specialized, summer partially specialized, spring specialized had positive protein quality, being highlighted by the smaller of somatic cells counts in the spring partially specialized combination.

title: SOLAR RADIATION USE EFFICIENCY AND GROSS PROTEIN OF SORGHUM FORAGE ARE MODIFIED BY THE CUTTING MANAGEMENT

description: Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the growth, the solar radiation use efficiency, and the gross protein of sorghum forage under different cutting management. A unifactorial design in random blocks (cutting management) was used, varying from no-cut treatment to four cuts. The first cut occurred 44 days after sowing, the second one after 23 days of regrowth, the third one after 25 days of regrowth, and the last one after 40 days of regrowth. The efficiency of the sorghum forage's solar radiation use reduces as the number of cuts increases. The sorghum forage's gross protein increases with cutting management. Therefore, for a sorghum forage crop, it is recommended to restrain the cutting management up to three times during the crop cycle, since it has the biomass potential production, and the cuts should be made at every 25 days, depending on the increase of dry mass. After that, the cutting management should not be done, mainly due to the low radiation use efficiency, reduced dry mass accumulation, and low material quality.

title: SUPEROVULATORY PROTOCOL WITH EQUINE PITUITARY EXTRACT (EPE) IN MARES CRIOULA AND THE QUARTER HORSE

description: Abstract This study compared the superovulatory response of embryos donor mares of Quarter Horse (QH) and Crioula using a protocol with low dose of equine pituitary extract (EPE). Eight QH mares and six Crioula mares were monitored during 3 consecutive estrous cycles, with each cycle corresponds to a group. Control Group - monitoring of follicle growth up to the ovulation; EPE group - when the follicles reached 20 mm in diameter were administered 7 mg EPE twice daily. When the follicles achieved a diameter 35 mm, the ovulation was induced with 2500UI hCG; Post-EPE Group - idem to the control group. Data were analyzed using GLM procedure of the SAS statistical package. The variables were submitted to the Tukey’s test and least square means adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Tukey-Kramer’s test, with significance level of 5%. Values are presented as mean ± SD. In the Crioula mares treated with EPE, there was an increase in the number of ovulations (p =0.0534) with a mean of 3.33 ± 2.06 ovulations when compared to the control and post-EPE groups, and mares QM. (2.00±0.53). Treatment with EPE in the recommended dose allowed better superovulatory response and rate of embryo recovery in Crioula mares when compared to the QM mares

title: USE OF OXYTOCIN IN GIROLANDO CATTLE: EVALUATION OF THE VAGINAL ROUT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INTRAVENOUS ROUT

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of vaginal route in order to apply oxytocin in female bovines using specific formulations. The oxytocin was used in its injectable form (as a comparison standard) and associated with absorption enhancers. Seven formulations containing 5 IU/ml of oxytocin each were used. The experimental design was an 8x8 latin square (eight days, eight treatments and eight cycling heifers). The formulations were delivered in vaginal route and the injectable oxytocin was applied intravenously, all of them having 10 IU of oxytocin. Blood samples (n=7) were collected from each animal, the first at time 0, prior to the administration of the treatment, and the following every three minutes until 18 minutes. Oxytocin was extracted from plasma using the C18 Sep-Pak column and measured with the commercial kit Oxytocin EIA. The responses were evaluated using the nonparametric ANOVA and the Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the means. Statistical difference was observed between times 0 and 12 (p&lt;0,05) for the oxytocin plus glycerin formulation, showing that absorption did occur. Nonetheless, it does not suppress the need for further research before it can be effectively used in female bovine management.

title: USE OF NEEM (Azadirachta indica) AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS IN BROILER CHICKENS’ FEED

description: Abstract In the present work, we carried out an experiment aiming at evaluating the use of Neem as an antimicrobial substance in the feeds of broiler chickens. We used 240 one-day-old Cobb broiler chicks distributed in an entirely casual design, with 4 treatments, 6 repetitions and 10 birds per experimental unit, during a 21-day experimental period. Treatments consisted of a basal diet with no antimicrobial inclusion, a diet with 0.05% of tylosin, and a diet with 0.05% and 0.1% of Neem. Parameters evaluated were zootechnical performance, feed digestibility, intestinal count of Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli, and the development of lymphoid organs. Data on the performance and metabolization of nutrients were subjected to an ANOVA and averages were compared with a post-hoc Tukey test considering α=0.05. Data on E. coli counts were analyzed with a Kruskal-Wallis test. Neem did not influence performance variables. The metabolization coefficient of dry matter and feed ethereal extract was better with tylosin (P&lt;0.05). No growth of Salmonella was observed during the experiment. The use of Neem did not reduce E. coli population and had no influence on lymphoid organs' weight. Therefore, Neem had no effect on the performance, digestibility and intestinal microbiota of birds up to 21 days old.

title: DIGESTIBILITY AND PALATABILITY OF DIETS WITH PROPOLIS EXTRACT FOR DOGS

description: Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of propolis extract digestibility and palatability. Two experiments were conducted, the first consisting of a digestibility trial with the inclusion of different propolis extracts (FT0,55, FT0,59, FT2,59, FT2,11). Based on the results of the first test, the extract being used in the other experiments, so the chosen FT0,59 extract was mixed in increasing levels in diets resulting in different apiginin concentrations. the diet was defined. Both digestibility assays beagle dogs 10, which were housed in metabolic cages were used. Palatability was assessed by food preference and first choice, 20 dogs of different breeds being used. In the first digestibility trial, only the inclusion of propolis extract FT2,11 decreased the value of the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of dry matter (DM). In the second trial, increasing inclusion of propolis extract FT0,59 linearly improved the ADC of crude protein (CP), ether extract in acid hydrolysis (EEA), nitrogen free extract (NFE), MS and metabolizable energy (ME) of the diets. The inclusion of propolis extract favored the palatability of the diet. Flavonoids can be added in the diet of dogs as nutraceuticals in concentrations lower than 2.11mg/kg of DM of the diet without altering digestibility.

title: DIETARY SELENIUM SUPPLEMENTATION AND SPERM QUALITY IN BRANGUS BULLS SEMEN

description: Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate sperm quality of bulls supplemented with selenium (Se) in the diet. Sixteen Brangus bulls were randomly divided in two groups: control (GC) and Se (GSe - 0.1mg Se/kg dietary DM). The experiment lasted 75 days and the animals were supplemented for 60 days. Four semen collections (0, 30, 60 and 75 days) per animal, were performed during the experimental period. Sperm motility and vigor, plasma membrane integrity and functionality (hyposmotic swelling test - HOST) and sperm viability and acrosome reaction (triple staining -TRI) were assessed. After immediate analysis, samples were diluted in Tris-egg yolk extender with 5% glycerol, packed (40x106 spermatozoa / straw), chilled, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen until analysis. After thawing, sperm motility and vigor, HOST and TRI were performed. No significance was noticed on sperm vigor, HOST and TRI of fresh and post-thawed semen after dietary selenium supplementation. However, sperm motility decreased in GSe compared to GC in fresh (P = 0.0035) and post- thawed (P = 0.0067) semen samples after 60 days of supplementation. Therefore, dietary selenium supplementation was ineffective to improve semen parameters of fresh and post-thawed semen of Brangus bulls.
