title: INDUSTRIAL INCOME WITH DEBONED CUTS SALES OF DAIRY CROSSBRED MALES, NON-CASTRATED OR SUBMITED TO DIFFERENT CASTRATION METHODS

description: The objective of this study was to assess the income and revenues from the sale of boneless cuts of the carcass of 84 Holstein x Zebu crossbred males, non-castrated or submitted to different castration methods at twelve month of age. The animals were randomly divided into four treatments with 21 replications each: castrated with burdizzo, castrated by removing the scrotum apex, castrated with lateral incisions in the scrotum and non-castrated. The slaughter of animals occurred on the same date, at 30 months of age. Carcass primary cuts analysis showed higher forequarter yield in the non-castrated and lower rib cut yield in relation to the castrated animals. Non-castrated animals showed higher weights and yields of deboned chuck and eye round cuts than the castrated animals. Industrial sale revenue of primary cuts analysis showed that the animals castrated by removing scrotum apex were 13.3% less profitable than non-castrated males. However, sale revenues of boneless cuts analysis showed that the lowest revenue income was from animals castrated by lateral incision in relation to non-castrated males (-9.9 %).

title: SURVEY OF SALMONELLA IN CURASSOWS BREEDING CENTER OF WILD ANIMALS

description: We collected 50 samples of curasow feces from the Scientific and Cultural Breeding Center in the city of Poços de Caldas. The samples were enriched in broth medium Tetrationato and Cystine-selenite and plated on Salmonella Shigella (SS), Mac Conkey (MC), endo-C (EC), Brilliant Green (VB) and Eosyn Methilen Blue EMB, remaining at 37 °C for 24h. Colonies suspected of Salmonella were inoculated in tubes containing Agar Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) and again incubated at 37 ºC for 24h. Tubes with characteristic growth were submitted to slide agglutination test with polyvalent somatic and flagellar serum. The medium SS, MC and VB were the most efficient for growing, and 36% of samples were positive for Salmonella spp. As birds are important reservoirs of Salmonella spp and it may represent a high risk to human health, there is a need to implement a cleaning routine in enclosures avoiding contamination between the enclosures and the consequent entrainment of these micro-organisms, by the keepers until their homes or other venues. The presence of Salmonella in breeding centers may be responsible for lower hatchability of eggs, undermining the purpose of the entity, which is to study and maintain the various birds species.

title: PROTEINS, LACTATE, GLUCOSE, CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, UREA AND CREATININE BLOOD LEVELS IN MILITARY CAVALRY HORSES BEFORE AND AFTER URBAN PATROLLING

description: The objective of this study was to evidence alterations in plasma biochemistry in police urban horses, before and after work. We used 28 horses divided into two groups: GI consisting of 12 animals used in the shift from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm, and GII consisting of 16 animals used in the shift from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Horses from both groups were fed 2 hours before work. Two blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of each animal, before and after work. The blood glucose and phosphate levels showed differences, the glucose concentration increased in GII and phosphate concentration increased in GI and GII. The increase of the phosphate concentrations can be due to the reduction of glomerular filtration and consequent absence of urination during work. Fasting usually stimulates gluconeogenesis in order to supply the energy demand, which may be the cause of increased blood glucose levels in the horses from GII after work. These horses worked 3 h more than horses from GI, besides they began the activities with lower basal values of blood glucose. By analyzing the results of this study, we concluded that the use of horses for urban policing resulted in hyperphosphatemia and hyperglycemia.

title: USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE CONTROL OF CLINICAL SIGNS OF NEONATAL DIARRHEA IN PIGLETS BORN TO SOWS WITH DIFFERENT PARTURITION ORDERS

description: This study evaluated the liquid emulsion of oregano and rosemary essential oils in the control of neonatal diarrhea in piglets. We monitored 1334 piglets with average weight of 1.5 kg regarding the clinical signs of neonatal diarrhea. The design was completely randomized with three treatments (T): (T1) control (saline), (T2) essential oils and (T3) enrofloxacin. T1 showed characteristic clinical signs of diarrh between piglets receiving essential oils or antibiotic, regardless of the order of parturition of the sows. On the other hand, piglets with clinical signs of diarrhea born to sows with order of parturition less than three had a higher cure rate (74.6%) compared with diarrheal piglets born to sows with order of parturition between three and five 68.2%) and more than five (56.4%). The counting of heterotrophic bacteria colony, Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens, and histological analyzes of the ileal epithelium showed no differences (P&gt;0.01) among treatments. The emulsion with essential oils of oregano and rosemary (2mL kg-1), for piglets between zero and eight days of age, might replace the enrofloxacin in controlling clinical signs of neonatal diarrhea.

title: OCCURRENCE OF OVINE SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS DURING TWO CONSECUTIVE LACTATIONS IN A SANTA INES BREED HERD

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of ovine subclinical mastitis in two lactations, and the disease evolution in two consecutive lactations. Milk samples originated from a herd with 160 Santa Inês breed sheep. In the first lactation, milk samples were collected from ewes at 14 days post-partum and during the period near weaning. In the second lactation, milk samples were collected from the same animals at 14 days postpartum, at 52 days postpartum and at weaning. Screening of subclinical mastitis was carried out preliminarily by means of California Mastitis Test (CMT). Milk samples for microbiological culture were obtained from CMT-positive and CMT-negative mammary halves. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci were the most prevalent microorganisms isolated in two lactations. Ewes that remained with subclinical mastitis in lactation 1 were predominant. Spontaneous recoveries were significantly lower in the period between 52 days of lactation and weaning of lambs. No difference was observed regarding the progression of subclinical mastitis cases compared the two lactations (P&gt;0.05).

title: CENTRIFUGATION OF OVINE SPERM IN CONTINUOUS DENSITY GRADIENT: EFFECT ON PREGNANCY RATE AND SEX RATIO

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of continuous density gradients of Percoll and OptiPrep for separation of X-bearing sperm, and assess the influence on sperm viability, pregnancy rate and sex ratio. With this purpose 100 million spermatozoa were deposited into each tube containing density gradient, which were previously prepared in polystyrene tubes, 24 hours before centrifugation and stored at 4 °C. The tubes were centrifuged at 500xg for 15 minutes at 22 °C, and then the supernatants aspirated and sperm recovered from the bottom of the tubes. A sample was evaluated before and after centrifugation to verify motility and sperm vigor. The sperm were used for fixed time artificial insemination. The results indicated that centrifugation did not affect sperm viability and pregnancy rate, however there was no deviation of sex ratio for females. More studies are needed of adapting the centrifugation technique to sheep and thus obtain the deviation of sex ration as in bovine.

title: DISEASES DIAGNOSED IN THE EXTERN GENITAL ORGANS OF BULLS: RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (2007-2013)

description: Despite the importance of knowing epidemiological data on diseases that affect the external genitalia of bulls, few investigations have been conducted on the topic. This work aimed to conduct an epidemiological study of diseases diagnosed in the external genitalia of bulls in 215 farms distributed in the five mesoregions of the state of Goiás, Brazil, between 2007 and 2013. We verified that the largest number of cases were observed at southwestern region (64 %), followed by the northwestern region (18.5 %). We found that of the affected bulls, 156 (71.89 %) were Zebu, 47 (21.66%) taurine and 14 (6.45 %) were mixed breeds. Among the diseases, acropostite-phimosis was the more frequent, followed by fibropapiloma of the glans, prepuce abscess and penile fracture. The main risk factors were multifactorial aspects, including the morphological condition of the animals, environment, management and traumas. In many cases, the absence or insufficient number of trained veterinarians who work on the field was mentioned as one of the major bottlenecks for the realization of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, preventing premature disposal of the animals.

title: ZOOTECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE INDEX OF MILK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF LABOR

description: The objective of this research was to estimate reference zootechnical and economic performance indices, evaluate the influence of different types of labor on the technical and economic results and identify the components that had greater representativeness on the total and effective operational cost of dairy farms. We analyzed 38 size, zootechnical, and economic indicators of 61 milk production systems, grouped according to the type of labor. The data were collected during January 2002 to December 2011 period. The results were compared by ANOVA test (normal distribution), complemented by LSD test, and Kruskal-Wallis test (non-normal distribution), also complemented by LSD test. Reference performance indices should be considered, taking into account the factors that are common to dairy farms. The type of labor does not seem to determine the economic efficiency of the dairy production system. The items of total and effective operational cost that had greater representativeness were, in descending order, feeding and labor to hired and mixed labor groups, and feeding and various expenses to family labor.

title: CHARACTERISTICS OF THAWED GOAT SEMEN AFTER ADDITION OF RINGER LACTATE, SODIUM CITRATE AND TRIS SOLUTION

description: Cryopreservation of semen is of great importance for various reproductive biotechnologies such as artificial insemination (IA), In Vitro Embryo Production (PIV) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). The objective of this work was to evaluate the stability and persistence of motility and strength of sperm, as well as changes in the plasma membrane after the addition of Ringer Lactate, sodium citrate 2.92% or TRIS solution in thawed goat semen. Semen was collected from two Alpine Brown goats, and standard procedures for cryopreservation and seminal analysis were performed. After thawing the semen, the extenders Ringer Lactate, sodium citrate 2.92% and TRIS solution were added and Thermoresistance (TTR), Supravital and Morphology Tests were carried out. In TTR, only the group received TRIS solution presented motility and strength for a longer period (90 minutes; P&lt; 0,05). No influence of the addition of the solutions was found in the morphological analysis, as well as in the Supravital Test, which showed values close to those found for motility (P&gt; 0.05). We concluded that the addition of the solutions does not allow a large persistence of motility and strength of thawed sperm, but TRIS solution could be used for expansion of seminal doses used in vitro reproductive biotechnology.
