Época de sobressemeadura de gramíneas anuais de inverno e de verão no capim-tifton 85: valor nutritivo

Conduziu-se o experimento na UNESP-Jaboticabal, no período de inverno-primavera-verão de 2001-2002, objetivando determinar os teores de proteína bruta (PB), parede celular (FDN, FDA, lignina, celulose e hemicelulose) e a digestibilidade in vitro da matéria orgânica (DIVMO) no capim-Tifton 85 exclusivo e sobressemeado com aveia preta, milheto e sorgo-sudão. Os tratamentos testados foram: milheto+aveia preta; AG2501C+aveia preta, sobressemeados nas áreas de Tifton-85, em 19-06 ou 02-07-2002, e capim-Tifton 85 (Testemunha). O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados, com três repetições. Os teores de PB foram maiores na primeira avaliação quando comparada às demais. Observou-se aumento nos teores de FDN, FDA e lignina, e comportamento inverso nos valores de DIVMO, em relação aos períodos de crescimento, nas duas épocas de semeadura. Os teores avaliados de PB, parede celular e DIVMO apresentaram variação em função da composição botânica e morfológica, no decorrer das avaliações e épocas de semeadura.

Consumo, digestibilidade e desempenho de novilhos alimentados com rações à base de feno de capim-tifton 85, em diferentes idades de rebrota

Objetivou-se avaliar o consumo e as digestibilidades aparentes de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), extrato etéreo (EE), carboidratos totais (CT) e fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), o ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar em bovinos Nelore, recebendo rações contendo feno de capim-tifton 85 com 35, 42 e 56 dias de rebrota. Foram utilizados 18 novilhos, não-castrados, com peso vivo médio inicial de 345 kg, distribuídos em um delineamento em blocos casualizados, com seis repetições. Todas as rações continham 60% de volumoso e 40% de mistura concentrada constituída por fubá de milho e minerais, na base da matéria seca. O experimento teve duração de 100 dias, 16 dias de adaptação e três períodos de 28 dias para a avaliação do desempenho. O avanço da idade de rebrota do capim-tifton 85 produziu comportamento linear decrescente para consumos de MS, PB e EE, enquanto os consumos de CT e FDN não foram afetados pela idade de rebrota. O ganho médio diário de peso (1,23 kg) e a conversão alimentar (6,35) não foram influenciados pela idade de rebrota. Os coeficientes de digestibilidade de MS (59,6), PB (48,0), EE (53,2), CT (63,6) e FDN (41,5) também não foram influenciados pela idade de rebrota do feno de capim-tifton 85. Embora as dietas utilizadas sejam eqüivalentes nutricionalmente, recomenda-se a idade de corte de 42 dias de rebrota.

Época de sobressemeadura de gramíneas anuais de inverno e de verão no capim-Tifton 85: produção e composição botânica

The experiment was conducted at UNESP-Jaboticabal during the 2001-2002 winter-spring-summer periods to evaluate the herbage mass, botanical composition, dry matter production of mix pastures, and leaf: sheat-stem ration of Tifton 85 or overseeding with annual winter or summer species. The treatments were: pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) plus bristeal oat (Avena strigosa Schreb); sorghum sudan grass (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench x Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf) (SS AG2501 C) plus bristeal oat, overseeded on Tifton 85 area on 06/19/02/04, or 07/02/02, and Tifton 85, conducted in a randomized block design. The AG2501 contributed with a small participation in the botanical composition and the presence of millet in the experiment was not observed. Highest herbage mass at first and second evaluations related to first seeding time was 63% higher compared to the second seeding time. The herbage mass were similar he production in the other evaluations were similar. on the second seeding time, it was observed highest oat species in relation to the first seeding time. The leaf: sheat-stem ration decreased during the experiment due to the pasture botanical composition changes.

Molecular epidemiology of virulent Rhodococcus equi from foals in Brazil: virulence plasmids of 85-kb type I, 87-kb type I, and a new variant, 87-kb type III

We investigated the prevalence of virulent Rhodococcus equi in clinical isolates from 41 foals (19 sporadic and seven endemic cases) in Brazil between 1991 and 2003. of the 41 virulent isolates, six contained an 85-kb type I plasmid, 33 contained an 87-kb type I plasmid, both of which have been found in isolates from the Americas, and the remaining two contained a new variant, which did not display the EcoRI, EcoT221 and BamHI digestion patterns of the 11 representative plasmids already reported (85-kb types I-IV; 87-kb types I and II; 90-kb types I-V). We tentatively designated the new variant as the '87-kb type III' plasmid, because its BamHI digestion pattern is similar to that of the 87-kb type I plasmid. This is the first report of the molecular epidemiology surveillance of virulent R. equi in clinical isolates from Brazilian foals. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Impact of overseeding cool-season annual forages on spring regrowth of tifton 85 bermudagrass

Field observations have shown stand reduction and slow spring regrowth of Tifton. 85 bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) pastures overseeded with temperate forages for grazing during the cool season. This experiment compared the effect of cool-season management programs, including overseeding and use of different grazing treatments, on productivity of Tifton 85 the following warm season. There were seven treatments: four were bermudagrass overseeded with a cool-season annual forage mixture (two grasses and two legumes) and grazed differentially, and three were bermudagrass controls With differences in amount of residual stubble remaining at beginning of autumn. There was only a slight delay in initiation of Tifton 85 spring regrowth relative to the unseeded controls and no apparent stand loss resulting from overseeding cool-season forages. Late spring and summer Tifton 85 production generally was greater on seeded than non-seeded areas, possibly resulting from the nitrogen (N) release from decaying cool-season legumes. Grazing management of winter species in seeded plots and stubble height of bermudagrass in control plots had no effect on bermudagrass performance. Nutritive value responses generally favored overseeded plots. These data, though from one year, show no negative effect on Tifton 85 bermudagrass performance from overseeding and grazing cool-season annual forages during winter.

The determination of iron, lead, copper and zinc in the hair of children between 22 and 85 months old

In this study the levels of Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn, determined in hair of healthy children (25-85 months), living at Araraquara (São Paulo, Brasil) are reported. Analytical determinations were carried out by using atomic absorption spectrometry employing an air acetylene flame. The results obtained are discussed with regard to effect of sex and age, as well compared with others analogous studies.

Produção de forragem de Tifton 85 adubado com nitrogênio e submetido à lotação contínua

The present assay was conducted at the Research and Development of Adamantina, SP, of the Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA) - Pólo da Alta Paulista to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization on morphological composition, density of tillers, leaf area index, light interception and herbage accumulation in grazed Tifton 85 subjected to continuous stocking system. The treatments consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0; 100; 200 and 400kg/ha/year of N), arranged in a randomized complete blocks experimental design with four replications. The grasslands of Cynodon cv. Tifton 85 studied influenced the time of evaluation and of nitrogen levels with a marked effect in morphological composition of the pasture, leaf area index, light interception and population density of tillers that were instrumental in the accumulation of forage. It was found a positive linear effect of nitrogen fertilization on the density of vegetative tillers, totals and herbage accumulation nitrogen fertilization had a marked effect on the amount of total and vegetative tillers, leaf area index in light interception and herbage accumulation. The cultivar Tifton 85 has not reached the necessary conditions for crop growth rate maximum when managed under continuous stocking keeping the grass to 10cm tall.
