title: Zinc and vitamin E in diets for broilers reared under heat stress

description: The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of zinc and vitamin E in diets for broilers kept in reused litter, between 1-21 days of age, over performance, lymphoid organs, heart and digestive organs weight. Seven hundred chicks distributed in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme 2x3+1, with two levels of zinc (0.0 and 120 mg/kg diet) associated with three levels of vitamin E (0.0, 300 and 600mg/kg diet), a control diet and five replications, were created in sheds covered masonry ceramic tiles and concrete floor . In the period of 1-21 days the weight gain is greater, without supplementation of zinc and vitamin E, when birds are kept on reused litter compared to those kept on new litter. The isolated supplementation of 300mg vitamin E/kg and the combination of 120mg zinc/kg with 600mg vitamin E/kg gives greater weight gain for broilers raised on reused litter compared to birds fed in a control diet kept in new litter. We conclude that the reviews levels of zinc and vitamin E do not improve feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion, the production viability and productive efficiency rate of broilers kept in re-used litter of 1 to 21 days of age. The intestine weight increases and the spleen's decreases as vitamin E is supplemented in the diets of these animals.

title: Growth curves for Ile de France ram lambs raised in feedlot

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the nonlinear models that best describe the growth curve of ram lambs Ile de France created in intensive system in the state of Paraná. Therefore, there were weighed fortnightly during the period from February 2013 to June 2013, from birth to slaughter (120 days) of 31 Ile de France ram lambs. Growth curves were obtained by nonlinear models Brody, Von Bertalanffy, Gompertz and Logistic in which parameters were considered maturation rate (K), asymptotic weight (A), age of the animal (t) is given by integration determining the proportion of growth after birth (B) and the proportion of asymptotic value at which the inflection point occurs curve (m) in accordance with the adopted model. The parameters were estimated by Marquardt applied to the NLIN procedure of SAS statistical program and the criteria used to verify the accuracy of the fit of the curves were the mean square of the coefficient of determination. The Brody, Von Bertalanffy, Gompertz and Logistic resulted respectively in 26.4579; 26.1668; 26.136; 26.1582 for the mean square and 0.813; 0.958; 0.958; 0.958 for the coefficient of determination. Considering the criteria assumed the Gompertz model, followed by Logistic and Von Bertalanffy, presented the best fit to describe the growth of Ile de France ram lambs.

title: Strategic Management of Manufacturing - Proposal of a method that recommends Production Techniques to Leverage Different Competitive Dimensions

description: ABSTRACT The manufacturing strategy literature is very wide. The approach of some concepts, such as the Strategic Business Units (SBU) and Competitive Dimensions, evolves towards the concept of Focused Factory by Skinner (1974) and culminates in the definition of different techniques, systems and tools that leverage each Competitive Dimension. However, the literature is much more restricted when it comes to determining which particular manufacturing technique should be adopted among different possibilities. This study aims at filling this gap by proposing a method, which directs decision-making when one needs to define the most appropriate production technique(s) to be adopted within a specific industrial reality. The research method adopted is Design Research. The final method proposed assists its user to select the production techniques that are best aligned with a given application reality. It seeks to go one step further in unfolding Production Strategy by supporting industrial managers to adopt techniques and practices that meet their main demands and specific conditions experienced in their daily routines.

title: PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS YIELD OF BOILERS REARED ON DIFFERENT MATERIALS OF POULTRY LIITTER

description: Abstract The litter is an aspect of great importance for poultry production because it affects both birds's performance and carcass characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate performance and carcass and viscera yields of broilers raised on different materials of poultry litter. In the experiment, we used 192 chicks of Ag Ross strain, from 10 days of age, distributed into 16 experimental units, with 12 birds each plot. Treatments consisted of four bedding materials (wood shavings, dry elephant grass, rice husk and sand), with four replicates each. At 42 days of age, birds were weighed, slaughtered and eviscerated. Then, we calculated the parameters of weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, viability, carcass and viscera yield (heart, gizzard and liver). Among the bedding materials tested, there were no significant differences in parameters; however, weight gain of birds reared on sand was significantly higher compared to birds reared on dry elephant grass bed. In conclusion, wood shavings, rice husk, dry elephant grass, and sand may be used as litter material for broilers without affecting the productive performance and the yield of carcass and edible offal.

title: Probiotics in feed of post- larvae of Nile tilapia subjected to sanitary challenge

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiaein feeding post-lavas of Nile tilapia subjected to sanitary challenge (sheep feces). 300 post-larvae were selected, with average weight and uniform lengths. The treatments consisted of fish grown in commercial feed with clean water, in an amount of 10% of the biomass, without the use of probiotics and fish grown in water under sanitary challenge fed with commercial diet at 10% of the amount of biomass and the use of probiotics (1.0g kg-1). To promote the health challenge the fish were dissolved 50g of feces in sheep nature crushed in 1000.0 ml of water. Variables of water quality to determine imposed by the two experimental treatments were evaluated. A significant effect (P&lt;0.05) in the concentration of total phosphorus, pH and dissolved oxygen water with sheep faeces, representing half of the challenge, a fact essential to conduct this experiment. There was no significant effect (P&gt;0.05) in performance variables, survival and hepato-somatic index. Post-larvae of Nile tilapia fed diet containing probiotic (1g.kg-1) submitted to health challenge provide improvements in performance, survival and liver somatic index matching up to clean water fish without using probiotic.

title: Evaluation of different eCG doses in resynchronization of ovulation in lactating nelore cows subjected to fixed-time insemination

description: The aim was to evaluate the use of eCG in resynchronization (RS) in lactating Nelore cows, understand the interaction between dose, presence or absence of estrus, presence or absence of the corpus luteum (CL) and pregnancy rate. Were used 775 cows in first TAI and that not pregnant (449) were resynchronized 30 days after. Ultrasound (US) to observe the presence or absence of CL was performed before first TAI and when the RS. On day 0 (D0) an intravaginal device (IVD) with 1 g of progesterone and intramuscular (IM) 2 mg estradiol benzoate was administered. On D8 devices were removed and applied IM 1mg estradiol cypionate; 0.53mg of sodium cloprostenol, Group - 0 (G0) didn´t received eCG, G200 received 200 IU and G300 300 IU. Estrus was observed and insemination (AI) performed 48 hours after the removal of the IVD. US was performed 30 days after AI. The treatments didn´t affect the occurrence of pregnancy in estrus. In cows that didn´t show estrus, there´s no difference in the occurrence of pregnancy between the G200 and G300 but with G0. The cumulative pregnancy rate after 40 days of the breeding season was (77.54%). The cumulative pregnancy rate in 40 days enables the RS as a way to optimize reproductive management on beef cattle farms.

title: INGESTIVE BEHAVIOR OF DAIRY COWS GRAZING INTERCROPPED PASTURES IN WARM SEASON

description: Abstract This research aimed to study the behavior of Holstein lactating cows, during the warm-season on a pasture constituted by elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and spontaneous growing species intercropped with white clover (Trifolium repens L.) or forage peanut (Arachis pintoi Krap & Greg.). Evaluations were taken during three grazing in December, February, and April. Six cows between the second and fifth lactation month were used for each evaluation. The data were recorded at a 10 min-interval, from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M. and from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. The grazing time on elephant grass, on species established in space between lines, total grazing (elephant grass and species established in space between lines), rumination and idleness were the behavioral parameters observed. The average of grazing was 3h 48 min and 2h 9 min for pastures intercropped with white clover and forage peanut, respectively, being higher (P &lt;0.05) for the first intercropped forage. The average of the grazing on elephantgrass was 5h 32 min and 6h 27 min for the respective intercropped pastures systems, with no statistical difference between them. The rumination and idleness were similar among the pastures.

title: Use of different diets in first feeding of tambaqui larvae

description: The tambaqui Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) (Characiformes: Characidae) ia a native fish of the Amazon Basin. It is a rheophilic species, and in captivity the reproduction occurs only through hormonal induction. Larvae of native species require more attention in the first stages, so the first feeding has great importance for the fry production and survival. Throughout the development, the larvae of tambaqui undergo morphological and physiological changes and eating habits. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of different diets on the first feeding tambaqui larvae. Tambaqui larvae were grown during 20 days under the following dietary treatments: plankton; plankton + ration; selected plankton; selected plankton + ration; and ration. The feed was given twice daily, "ad libitum". The physic-chemical variables of water remained in limits accepted for the species. Treatments where it was used live food resulted in better growth performance of tambaqui larvae. The addition of ration associated with the live food to feed the tambaqui larvae also improved performance, although ration is not recommended as the sole food source, in the first days of life. Therefore, the use of live food plus ration, from the third day of exogenous feeding, improves a better growth performance and survival of tambaqui larvae.

title: Combination of biocontrol bacteria for rice seeds microbiolization: incidence and transmission of Bipolaris oryzae, and plant growth

description: Abstract: Several fungi species are associated with rice seeds, mainly Bipolaris oryzae, since it can kill seedlings and reduce production. Thus, the objective of this research was to study the potential of pre-selected combinations of rhizobacteria [DFs-C4 (DFs185/DFs416/DFs418) and DFs-C5 (DFs306/DFs416/DFs418)], when compared to their use individually (DFs185, DFs306, DFs416, DFs418), besides DFs223, evaluating the effect on the incidence and transmission of B. oryzae, incidence of phytopathogenic fungi and in the initial growth after rice seeds microbiolization. Seeds of cultivars BRS Pelota and BRS Querência (four lots each) were immersed in suspension of these bacteria or in saline solution (control) under agitation (for 30 minutes at 10 ºC). The fungi incidence was evaluated on blotter test. The pathogen transmission was assayed in sterilized vermiculite and humid chamber at 25 ± 2 ºC. After 15 days, the severity of the symptoms and the plant growth were evaluated. For both cultivars, the best treatments were DFs185 and DFs306, reducing the fungi incidence, including B. oryzae, as well as its transmission to seedlings, resulting in seedling length increase. The combination of biocontrol bacteria, individually efficient, did not result in a lower fungi incidence, or a reduction in the transmission of B. oryzae to the seedlings or an initial increase in seedling growth. Therefore, these rhizobacteria are more efficient when used individually.
