Componentes principais na elaboração de índices de provas de desempenho em bovinos

The principal component analysis assists the producers in making decision of which evaluated features must be maintained in performance tests indexes, according to the variation present in these animals evaluated. The objective in this study was to evaluate a set of characteristics measured in a performance test in semifeedlot cattle of the Simmental and Angus breeds, by means principal component analysis (PC), aim to identify the features that represent most of the phenotypic variation for preparation of indexes. It was used data from 39 Angus and 38 Simmental bulls from the Santa Éster farm, located in Silvianópolis - MG. The performance test period was from october 2014 to february 2015. The features evaluated in the test were: final weight (FW), average daily gain weight (GW), respiratory rate (RR), haircoat temperature (HT) and rectal (RT), hair number (HN), hair length (HL), hair thickness (HT), muscularity (MUSC), racial characteristics, angulation, reproductive and balance (BAL), height of the front and back, width and length of croup, body length, depth and heart girth, subcutaneous fat thickness and rump (FTR), loin eye area and marbling (MAR). It was used PRINCOMP from SAS program for procedure the PC analysis. It was found that of the 27 features evaluated, the first four PC for Simmental breed explained 74% total variation data. The four PC selected with the corresponding weighting coefficients formed the following index: (0.27 * FW) + (0.47 * MUSC) + (0.50 * HL) + (0.39 * HT). Since the characteristics related to the adaptability of great importance for the studied breed, it was decided to keep the index of evidence for the Angus breed, the feature hair number, because there is a feature that presented a great variability and occupied one of the first principal component. Thus, the Angus index was composed by five features, with 79% total variation data, resulting in the following formula: (0.26 * FW) + (0.33 * BAL) + (0.58 * MAR) - (0.43 * FTR) – (0.38 * HN). By the principal component analysis it was possible to minimize the features number to be evaluated on performance tests from that farm, making the animal selection rapidly and accurate.

Comparative study of human exposure to mercury in riverside communities in the Amazon region

Four populations in the Amazon area were selected for a comparative study of mercury-exposed and non-exposed populations: São Luiz do Tapajós, Barreiras, Panacauera, and Pindobal Grande. The highest mercury levels in human hair samples were found in São Luiz do Tapajós and Barreiras, greatly exceeding the limits established by the World Health Organization. Panacauera showed an intermediate level below 9 µg/g. This was the first comparative and simultaneous evaluation of mercury exposure in the Amazon area. Also, thanks to this type of monitoring, we were able to eliminate the uncertainties about the reference dose. On the basis of these data, we can conclude that the mercury levels detected in exposed populations of the Tapajós River basin may be dangerous not only because they are above the World Health Organization limits, but also because the simultaneous mercury detection in non-exposed populations with similar characteristics provided a valid control and revealed lower mercury levels. Our results support the importance of continuous monitoring in both exposed and non-exposed populations.
