title: Correlation between estrus onset and ovarian parameters in dairy goats

description: Abstract This study assessed the effects of social dominance on the behavioral estrus and ovarian parameters of dairy goats subjected to synchronous estrus induction during the non-breeding season. Synchronous estrus was induced in 23 dairy goats allocated to collective pens. Ovarian ultrasonography was performed at 12 h intervals from device removal to ovulation. Upon estrus onset (EO) detection, the goats were immediately removed from the pens. Dominance was scored according to EO in relation to device removal in each pen, with HD - high dominants (&lt;36 h; n = 8), MD - medium dominants (36 to 48 h; n = 10) and LD - low dominants (&gt;48 h; n = 5). Goats in estrus underwent flexible time artificial insemination (FxTAI) according to EO. The estrus response was 100.0%. The interval to estrus was longer (P&lt;0.05) in LD (53.7 ± 6.5 h) than in MD (37.9 ± 5.5 h) and HD goats (32.3 ± 6.6 h), while the interval from device removal to ovulation was similar (P&gt;0.05) among all groups. The interval from EO to FxTAI was longer in HD goats compared to the other groups (P&lt;0.05). In conclusion, although social hierarchy influenced the time of EO, the ovarian parameters, including ovulation, were not affected.

title: Forage availability and weight gain of goats on caatinga enriched with Urochloa trichopus (Hochst.) Stapf subjected to fallowing and fertilized with phosphate

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the forage availability and performance of goats in thinned Caatinga enriched with Urochloa trichopus subjected to grazing fallowing and levels of phosphorus fertilization. Twenty-four F1 crossbred goats (Boer x Non-descript breed), whole, 15.0 ± 2.6 kg body weight were distributed in four paddocks (n = 6) according to body weight, age and physiological status. Animals grazed on Caatinga, under continuous stocking, and were gathered and kept in individual pens overnight. The experiment to evaluate animal performance was a randomized block design with 4 treatments (0, 11, 33 and 60 days of fallowing) and six replications. To determine dry mass production and floristic composition, phosphate fertilization was used in the doses of x P2O5 in a randomized block design with five treatments, 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg P2O5 with 4 replications. Phosphate fertilization had an effect on the floristic composition of dicots and U. trichopus (P&lt;0.05). There was an effect of pasture fallowing on the final weight of goats, with the lowest weight (20.40 kg) observed after 60 days of fallowing (P&lt;0.05). Fallowing is not suitable for an area of vegetation in the caatinga, because there was a decrease in forage availability and quality in the dry period, resulting in a lower performance of animals.

title: Quality of free-range and commercial eggs subjected to different storage periods and temperatures

description: Abstract The objective was to evaluate the internal quality of eggs from commercial laying hens and free-range hens subjected to different storage periods and temperatures. For the experiment, 280 eggs were randomly distributed into different treatments, adopting a completely randomized design, in a 2 x 7 factorial arrangement of two temperatures, seven storage periods, totaling 14 treatments with 10 replications. The treatments consisted of two storage conditions: under refrigeration (6 ± 1.0ºC) and at room temperature (26.6 ± 1.0ºC). Eggs were analyzed for 30 days, with evaluations in different storage periods (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days). For each storage condition, 140 eggs were separated, 70 commercial eggs and 70 free-range eggs. There was a linear increase in egg weight loss, yolk weight, albumen pH, yolk pH, length and width of albumen and yolk of commercial and free-range eggs, as the storage period increased. There was a linear reduction in weight, height and albumen index and in the yolk index of commercial and free-range eggs as the storage period increased, with more pronounced responses for eggs stored at room temperature (P&lt;0.05). Albumen percentage was linearly reduced only for commercial eggs (P&lt;0.05). Eggs kept at room temperature reduce their quality after 15 days of storage, and the storage under refrigeration for 30 days is recommended to preserve the shelf life of the egg for consumption.

title: The effect of fungal probiotics added to a high-grain diet on the gastrointestinal tract of sheep

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of the ruminal fluid and histological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of sheep on a high-grain diet containing the probiotic fungi Aspergillus terreus and Rhizomucor spp. The study included four treatment groups (without probiotic, with Rhizomucor spp., with Aspergillus terreus, and with a mixture of both fungi), and two types of corn (ground/whole), in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) arranged in 4 x 2 factorial design. Santa Inês x Dorper lambs were housed in eight pens with five lambs each for 75 days. Rumen fluid was collected to study the rumen microbiological profile, macroscopic characteristics, ammonia nitrogen concentration, and microbiological activity. In addition, GIT samples were taken for histological analysis. Fluid analyses showed that the animals presented a low acidosis index. The samples presented a predominantly aromatic odor and blackish-brown color, indicating a neutral pH and high microbial activity. The rumen pH differed (P &lt; 0.05) according to the level of processed corn consumed, being higher for ground grain corn (GGC). There was no difference for any of the microbiological communities analyzed (P &gt; 0.05) (Lac+ and Lac- bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and protozoa). Six genera of facultative anaerobic fungi were identified in 15 observations. Cladosporium spp. was the most prevalent genus (46.66%), followed by Aspergillus spp. (26,66%). The width of the base of rumen papillae showed significant correlation being greater for GCG (P &lt; 0.05) with Rhizomucor and for the control (P &lt; 0.05). The rumen fluid of sheep on a high-grain diet with added Aspergillus terreus and Rhizomucor spp. showed no microbiological and physicochemical changes.

title: Aging of the Brazilian population: a content analysis of REBEP’s issues

description: Abstract This article aimsis to analyze in which extent and what Brazilian demographers have produced and reflected on populational aging. For this purpose, some articles of REBEP (Revista Brasileira de Estudos d 30 (1993) work on the way women have been analyzed by articles published by Demography. Our focus is populational aging as a demographic process, emphasizing the aspects of this process in the social life. We used articles published on this theme by REBEP between 1984 and 2003. The methodology was the Content Analysis. Despite the subjectivity of the method, it is possible to state that REBEP has published few articles whose main theme is the populational aging and its consequences. For twenty years (1984-2003) only eight works, among articles, summaries and notes about research over ageing had been published.

title: Home physiotherapy applied to the elderly

description: Abstract This work aims to assess the prevalence of physiotherapy types in a group of at homecare patients in the State of Rio de Janeiro, from 1999 to 2002, and their answer to the treatment. Regarding the patient, the predominance of age groups; the types of diseases and records on time of lesion. As for physiotherapeutical homecare, the study considered the type; objective and improvement level obtained with the accomplished treatment. The importance of this work lays in the increase of the homecare as a phenomenon observed in several countries, including Brazil, due to the increase of the worldwide elderly population and the epidemic profile of the chronic diseases, which have as consequence the increase of unproductiveness and government costs. The epidemiology method was used in the descriptive prevalence. Results evinced that home physiotherapy was predominant among the elderly , prevailing the motor type, with 56% of findings, and that the improvement was of 35% of factors related to the situation of bed confinemen. It is recommended that physiotherapeutical homecare be prioritized, aiming at better outcomes in the therapeutic performance.

title: Compared analysis of elderly’s oral health in Araçatuba-SP city, Brazil

description: Abstract Based on health public policies for the elderly, established by the Brazilian Health Ministry, this paper analyses the elderly’s oral health program, showing the Brazilian reality, which lacks preventive, curative and educational treatments. This research created an instrument to assess the oral situation of the elderly in Araçatuba city, through questions on the socioeconomic profile, oral situation, and use of services rendered by the municipal health service. We searched for data to subsidize projects of public policies that meet this population’s needs. Results showed that more than 80% of seniors are toothless, 77% use dental prostheses despite the fact that most live on their minimum-wage pensions, which many times are the main family income and have no access to specific public rehabilitation services and are illiterate. We come to the conclusion that the elderly in Araçatuba still do not have access to the preventive, curative, educational and rehabilitation treatments.

title: Brazilian journals specialized in Geriatrics and Gerontology from 1969 to 2006

description: Abstract We describe Brazilian journals specialized in Geriatrics and Gerontology. Data was collected from the Portal de Revistas Científicas available on the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information’s homepage (Bireme) and from the Reference and Documentation Center on Aging, at the Open University for Studies on the Elderly, a program of Rio de Janeiro State University which holds the most complete collection of scientific journals in this field. Nine journals, published since 1969, were identified. To analyze them, we adopted the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences database’s criteria for journals selection: content, peer review, editorial committee, regularity of publication, periodicity, time of publication, normalization and layout. Discontinuity marks most of these journals, and three still are being regularly published. A Terceira Idade, published since 1988, is mainly a divulgation journal. Revista Kairós: Gerontologia, issued in 1998, and the Revista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia(former Textos sobre Envelhecimento), also in 1998, are recent publications, indexed in Lilacs and in process of consolidation for indexation in other databases.

title: Profile of elderly nursing homes in the city of Recife, PE, Brazil

description: Abstract The fast aging of the Brazilian population, observed in the last decades, requires a new net of social assistance and health services directed to elderly people. The study objective was to characterize the Institutions of Long Permanence, registered in Recife city, in quantitative terms, according to the space distribution of the administrative politics region, according to the nature, available condition of monthly contribution by the user, public target and vacancy availability. The interest information included primary and secondary data registered in half-structuralized questionnaire. Two of the 27 located institutions refused to participate in the study. Results In terms of the spatial distribution (02) was located at RPA1, (04) at RPA2, (09) at RPA3, (12) private, (08) was humanitarian, (02) was mixed and (01) without any profitable objective; in relation to the monthly contribution, (04) was absolutely free, in (09) it was collected the maximum of one minimum wage (SM), in (08) from 1 through 2 SM, in (04) from 2 through 3 SM; about the target public, (01) was directed exclusively to male attendance, (08) received only women and (16) was mixed, in relation to vacancy availability 15 institutions holds up to 30 elderly, 07 holds up to 60 elderly, 02 up to 90 elderly. Conclusion in face of the reduced institution number, as well as, the number of vacancy availability, we can suggest the reorganization of the municipal shelter institution network.
