A procedure to evaluate the efficiency of utilization of dietary amino acid for poultry

The aim of this study was to develop a procedure based on Gompertz function to determine the efficiency of utilization of amino acid. The procedure was applied to determine the efficiency of utilization of dietary lysine, methionine+cystine and threonine by growing pullets and based on the efficiencies were estimated the requirements for the growth phase of birds. The Gompertz function was fitted to the data of feed intake, body weight, feather-free body protein weight and feather protein weight of four strains of laying hens in the growth phase. The rates of consumption and daily protein deposition (PD) were calculated. The amino acid deposition was obtained by multiplying the PD by the amino acid concentration in feather protein and feather-free body protein. The results showed that the efficiency of utilization of amino acid decreased with maturity and, conversely, there was a proportional increase of the requirement per kg of weight gain. The procedure based on the Gompertz function to determine the efficiency of utilization of amino acid proved to be suitable to evaluate the efficiency of utilization of amino acid and can be a useful tool to diagnose the effectiveness of the nutritional management, aiding in decision-making on the nutritional management.

Capacidade funcional em cavalos de salto suplementados com linhaça

The objective of this study was to evaluate the supplementation of linseed as an omega-3 fatty acid supplier on the functional capacity of jumping horses. 6 horses disposed in two 3 x 3 balanced Latin squares were used. The treatments consisted of increasing levels of linseed mixed with flour and linseed oil in a ratio of 75:25, respectively, resulting in 0g (control), 60g and 120g on a daily basis per horse. The horses were supplemented for 30 days. Physical activity was jumping at riding class level. The functional parameters measured were lameness index, stride length and joint metacarpophalangeal (MCP) biometry (circumference and flexion angle). A significant linseed supplementation effect for doses of 60 and 120g was observed on the lameness index. Feeding 120g of linseed increased stride length while trotting (P<0.05). An increment of 0.5cm on MCP circumference was found in horses that received the control diet when compared to those horses that consumed 120g of linseed. Thus, supplementation of jumping horses with 120g/day of linseed promoted greater stride length at a trot and reduced swelling in the metacarpophalangeal joint, improving their functional capabilities.

Cassava and turmeric flour blends as new raw materials to extruded snacks

Short cooking time and ability to blend varieties of food ingredients have made extrusion cooking a medium for low-cost and nutritionally improved food products. The effect of moisture, extrusion temperature and amount of turmeric flour mixed with cassava flour on physical characteristic of puffed snacks was evaluated in this work. Extrusion process was carried out using a single-screw extruder in a factorial central composite design with four factors. Results showed effect of extrusion parameters on dependents variables. High expansion, low browning, low water solubility index, intermediate water absorption index and high crispness desirable characteristics to puffed snacks are obtained in conditions of 12% moisture, 5% turmeric flour, 105º C of temperature and 250 rpm of screw speed. These paper point to the potential still unexplored of the use of flours of cassava and turmeric as raw materials in the development of extruded puffed snacks.

MicroRNA Signature Obtained From the Comparison of Aggressive With Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: Potential Prognostic Value in Mantle-Cell Lymphoma

Purpose Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) has a variable natural history but is incurable with current therapies. MicroRNAs (miRs) are useful in prognostic assessment of cancer. We determined an miR signature defining aggressiveness in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and assessed whether this signature aids in MCL prognosis.MethodsWe assessed miR expression in a training set of 43 NHL cases. The miR signature was validated in 44 additional cases and examined on a training set of 119 MCL cases from four institutions in Canada. miRs significantly associated with overall survival were examined in an independent cohort of 114 MCL cases to determine association with patient outcome. miR expression was combined with current clinical prognostic factors to develop an enhanced prognostic model in patients with MCL.ResultsFourteen miRs were differentially expressed between aggressive and indolent NHL; 11 of 14 were validated in an independent set of NHL (excluding MCL). miR-127-3p and miR-615-3p were significantly associated with overall survival in the MCL training set. Their expression was validated in an independent MCL patient set. In comparison with Ki-67, expression of these miRs was more significantly associated with overall survival among patients with MCL. miR-127-3p was combined with Ki-67 to create a new prognostic model for MCL. A similar model was created with miR-615-3p and Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index scores.ConclusionEleven miRs are differentially expressed between aggressive and indolent NHL. Two novel miRs were associated with overall survival in MCL and were combined with clinical prognostic models to generate novel prognostic data for patients with MCL.

Alternativas de subsistência da comunidade Caiçara/Quilombola do sertão da fazenda, no núcleo Picinguaba do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Ubatuba-SP

As populações tradicionais têm sido valorizadas devido à importância do conhecimento popular associado à biodiversidade local e como forma de valorização do patrimônio cultural nacional. Nos últimos anos, as comunidades do litoral norte do Estado de São Paulo sofreram profundas mudanças na sua estrutura social e econômica, provocadas pela especulação imobiliária, modernização e expansão urbana, sobreposição de território com Unidade de Conservação (UC) e pelo turismo crescente. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as alternativas de subsistência da Comunidade Remanescente de Quilombo da Fazenda, localizada no interior do Núcleo Picinguaba do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, em Ubatuba-SP, e sua inter-relação com a UC, o turismo e a urbanização da região, principalmente no tocante à agricultura e à produção de farinha de mandioca. Para isso, durante o período de maio de 2008 a junho de 2009 foram realizadas entrevistas semi estruturadas com os chefes dos 35 domicílios habitados da comunidade, além de observação participante, pesquisa documentária e análises etnobotânicas. Foram inventariadas e categorizadas as plantas úteis cultivadas ou espontâneas nos quintais e roças. Os resultados indicam que a população mais jovem tem se fixado na comunidade e constituído novas famílias. Entre os eventos que possibilitam essa permanência estão a instalação de infraestrutura, como estradas de acesso e luz elétrica, que facilitou o acesso aos bens e serviços externos à comunidade; a política de compatibilidade entre UC e população tradicional e o sentimento de pertencimento ao território tradicional. A agricultura de subsistência é a principal atividade desenvolvida na comunidade, seguida pelos serviços turísticos de alta temporada e pelos serviços gerais. Devido às políticas de conservação instituídas pela UC, ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
