O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a composição corporal e a eficiência de utilização de nutrientes por pacus alimentados com dieta suplementada com cromo trivalente e mantidos em duas densidades de estocagem. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente ao acaso com 24 tratamentos, em esquema fatorial: quatro níveis de cromo na ração (0, 6, 12, 18 mg kg-1), duas densidades de estocagem (4 e 20 kg m-3) e três períodos de avaliação (30, 60 e 90 dias) com quatro repetições. Foram observados aumentos significativos na eficiência de retenção de proteína bruta e na porcentagem de proteína bruta na carcaça, diminuição de eficiência de retenção de gordura e menores valores de porcentagem de gordura na carcaça dos pacus alimentados com ração suplementada. O nível de cromo de 6 mg kg-1 foi suficiente para possibilitar, na menor densidade, o maior acúmulo de proteína e menor teor de gordura na carcaça, ao passo que, na maior densidade, a exigência de cromo foi mais alta (12 mg kg-1), para obtenção de resultados semelhantes. Pacus alimentados com dietas suplementadas com cromo apresentaram carne mais magra, com menor teor de gordura, até 60 dias de experimento.

Incubation temperature manipulation during fetal development reduces adiposity of broiler hatchlings
Resumo:
Broilers are known as an efficient source of lean meat. Genetic selection resulted in broiler strains with large body size and fast growth, but a concomitant increase in fat deposition also occurred. Other than reducing nutrient intake, there is a lack of alternative methods to control body fat composition of broilers. The present study assessed whether incubation temperature (machine temperatures: 36ºC, 37.5ºC, and 39ºC; eggshell temperatures: 37.4 ± 0.08°C, 37.8 ± 0.15ºC, and 38.8 ± 0.33°C, respectively.) from d 13 affects broiler hatchling fat deposition. We analyzed adipocyte hypertrophy and proliferation in 3 body regions; weight and chemical composition of yolk-free chicks and yolk sacs; and serum lipid profile. Increased incubation temperature reduced abdominal and cervical adipocyte size. Independently of temperature, cervical adipocytes were smaller and showed higher proliferation than adipocytes in the abdominal and thigh regions. Smaller cervical adipocytes were observed in birds from eggs incubated at 36ºC and 39ºC. With regard to weight and composition of chicks, ash content as a percentage of dry matter was the only variable affected by temperature; it was higher in chicks from eggs incubated at 36ºC than at 39ºC and showed no significant difference between chicks incubated at 39ºC and 37.5ºC. Absolute and relative weights of yolk sacs were higher from eggs incubated at 39ºC than at 36ºC, and these two treatments did not differ from the 37.5ºC control. Absolute measures of yolk sac lipids, moisture, dry matter, and crude protein content were lower in chicks from eggs incubated at 36ºC, and no significant differences were found for these variables between chicks from eggs incubated at 37.5ºC and 39ºC. Hatchlings from eggs incubated at 36°C had significantly higher cholesterol levels than chicks incubated at the other 2 temperatures, but no additional effects on blood lipids were detected. Incubation temperature manipulation during fetal development altered cervical and abdominal adipocyte size in broiler hatchlings and could become a tool in hatcheries to manipulate chick quality, although further studies are needed to evaluate its long-term effects.

This study evaluated the relationship between digestible lysine and metabolizable energy for barrow and gilts from 24 to 50 kg. Performance, digestibility and blood profile were studied. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with five treatments, eight replicates and two animals per experimental unit in the performance assay and four replicates and one animal per experimental unit in the digestibility assay. The blood profile was chosen at 20 random animals of each sex, with four replicates per treatment and the animal as experimental unit. The treatments were 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, 1.10 and 1.20% digestible lysine. There was a linear effect of lysine levels on weight gain and feed conversion in females and crude protein in both sexes, gross energy excreted in the urine (kcal) and digestible energy (kcal). A quadratic effect of the amino acid studied in the daily consumption of crude protein (g) in both sexes, weight gain and feed conversion of barrows, as well as the nitrogen excreted in the urine (g) and nitrogen retained, and absorbed and retained. The relationship between neutrophils and lymphocytes had quadratic responses with increasing levels of lysine. The maximum performance for the studied genotype was obtained with 0.88 and 0.91% of digestible lysine or 2.60 and 2.67 g of digestible lysine/Mcal of metabolizable energy for females and barrows, respectively, corrected for digestibility trial.

We report the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass composition, carcass length, fat deposition and lean meat content using a genome scan across 462 animals from a combined intercross and backcross between Hampshire and Landrace pigs. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression fitting additive and dominance effects. This model was compared with a model including a parent-of-origin effect to spot evidence of imprinting. Several precisely defined muscle phenotypes were measured in order to dissect body composition in more detail. Three significant QTL were detected in the study at the 1% genome-wide level, and twelve significant QTL were detected at the 5% genome-wide level. These QTL comprise loci affecting fat deposition and lean meat content on SSC1, 4, 9, 10, 13 and 16, a locus on SSC2 affecting the ratio between weight of meat and bone in back and weight of meat and bone in ham and two loci affecting carcass length on SSC12 and 17. The well-defined phenotypes in this study enabled us to detect QTL for sizes of individual muscles and to obtain information of relevance for the description of the complexity underlying other carcass traits.

Compararam-se o ganho médio diário (GMD), índice de conversão alimentar (IC) e classificação da carcaça (CC) entre dois tipos de cruzamento comercial (A e B), ambos obtidos pelo cruzamento terminal de varrascos Piétrain com porcas F1 Large White x Landrace. Procurou-se identificar os principais efeitos ambientais que influenciam os referidos carateres. Utilizou-se um total de 200 suínos (machos e fêmeas), de dois cruzamentos comerciais distintos, provenientes de duas unidades de multiplicação comerciais. Determinou-se o GMD e o IC em dois períodos diferentes (63-119 e 120-158 dias de vida). No final do ensaio, efetuou-se a CC, segundo o sistema SEUROP. Procedeu-se a uma análise de variância com o objetivo de identificar os principais efeitos ambientais que influenciam o GMD, IC e CC. Determinou-se o coeficiente de regressão do GMD no peso vivo no início da engorda. Globalmente, observou-se uma superioridade do cruzado B no que concerne ao GMD (+74,6 g) (p<0,01) e ao IC (-0,07) (p<0,05). O GMD dos animais registou um acréscimo médio de 5,8 g por kg de acréscimo do PV no início do ensaio. A superioridade do cruzado B foi ainda evidenciada na classificação de carcaça SEUROP, com um acréscimo significativo (p<0,01) de 2,3% em carne magra.

Red meat is long established as an important dietary source of protein and essential nutrients including iron, zinc and vitamin B12, yet recent reports that its consumption may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and colon cancer have led to a negative perception of the role of red meat in health. The aim of this paper is to review existing literature for both the risks and benefits of red meat consumption, focusing on case-control and prospective studies. Despite many studies reporting an association between red meat and the risk of CVD and colon cancer, several methodological limitations and inconsistencies were identified which may impact on the validity of their findings. Overall, there is no strong evidence to support the recent conclusion from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) report that red meat has a convincing role to play in colon cancer. A substantial amount of evidence supports the role of lean red meat as a positive moderator of lipid profiles with recent Studies identifying it as a dietary source of the anti-inflammatory long chain (LC) n-3 PUFAs and conjugated linoleic acid (CIA). In conclusion. moderate consumption of lean red meat as part of a balanced diet is unlikely to increase risk for CVD or colon cancer, but may positively influence nutrient intakes and fatty acid profiles, thereby impacting positively on long-term health.
