Desempenho agronômico, bromatológico e estabilidade fenotípica de sorgo silageiro em Uberlândia - MG
Resumo:
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a good alternative to be used as silage, especially in places with water scarcity and high temperatures, due to their morphological and physiological characteristics. The appropriate management, as the ideal seeding time, interferes both productivity and the quality of silage. The work was conducted with the objective of evaluating the agronomic and bromatological performance of varieties and hybrids of silage sorghum and their phenotypic stability in two seasons, season and off-season, in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. The experiments were performed at Capim Branco Experimental Farm of Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), located in the referred city. There were two sowing dates in the same experimental area, off-season (March to June 2014) and season (November 2014 to March 2015), and the varieties and hybrids were evaluated in both situations. The design was a randomized block with 25 treatments (hybrids and varieties of sorghum) and three replications. Agronomical and bromatological data were subjected to an analysis of variance; averages were grouped by Scott-Knott test at 5% of probability, through Genes computer program; and to estimate the stability, it was opted for Annicchiarico method. The flowering of cultivars, dry matter productivity, plant height, Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) and Crude Protein (CP) are affected by the environment and the variety. Regarding productivity and quality of the fiber, SF11 variety was superior, independent of the rated environment. In relation to the performance stability of dry matter, the varieties SF15, SF11, SF25, PROG 134 IPA, 1141572, 1141570 and 1141562 were highlighted. For the stability of the quality of fibers (FDA and FDN), the variety 1141562 stood out. The environment reduces the expression of characters “days of flowering”, “plant height” and “productivity of dry matter of hybrids”. From the 25 hybrids analyzed for productivity and stability of dry matter performance, seven were highlighted, regardless of the rated environment: Volumax commercial hybrid and experiments 12F39006, 12F39007, 12F37014, 12F39014, 12F38009 and 12F02006.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance, metabolic and feeding behavior of sheep after ninety days deferred pasture at different heights. The experiment was conducted at Capim Branco experimental farm of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. During the period of 90 days, from June to September 2013, forty-eight crossbred lambs Santa Inês x Dorper, divided into groups of four animals, occupied twelve pickets deferred pasture with four initial heights (15 cm, 25 cm, 35 cm and 45 cm). During this period we evaluated the structural characteristics of pasture. For confinement, from September to December 2013, 32 of these animals were used (16 males and 16 females), divided into four bays, separated as pasture were using. The consumption was assessed daily, while biometric measurements were made every 21 days. In relation to gender, there were differences in average daily gain weight. Reviews of feeding behavior occurred at the beginning, middle and end of the experiment for 24 hours. The rumination and leisure activities do not present statistical differences, both initial height of pasture and by period. The time spent on intake was higher during the daytime both treatments starting height as the experimental periods, however, rumination activity was more intense at night. Blood glucose was achieved in five periods of the day, while other metabolites have been obtained with a collection made fortnightly. The different initial heights not promoted effects on blood glucose. The harvesting times were not affected. However, there was a reduction of basal blood glucose of animals throughout the experimental period. There was a significant interaction between the initial pasture heights and periods of evaluation of basal glucose. Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were below recommended levels, however the final phase of confinement cholesterol level increased significantly. The values of VLDL and GGT were above the reference range. FA and AST showed average values within the recommended values. Total protein was influenced by different initial heights of pasture. The creatinine and albumin had values below the recommended range. Moreover, the albumin decreased during the confinement time. Uric acid showed close to the recommended maximum. There was stabilization of compensatory growth, with modification of consumption and weight gain at 45 days of experiment.

Orthobunyaviruses are the largest genus within the Bunyaviridae family, with over 170 named viruses classified into 18 serogroups (Elliott and Blakqori, 2001; Plyusnin et al., 2012). Orthobunyaviruses are transmitted by arthropods and have a tripartite negative sense RNA genome, which encodes 4 structural proteins and 2 non-structural proteins. The non-structural protein NSs is the primary virulence factor of orthobunyaviruses and potent antagonist of the type I interferon (IFN) response. However, sequencing studies have identified pathogenic viruses that lack the NSs protein (Mohamed et al., 2009; Gauci et al., 2010). The work presented in this thesis describes the molecular and biological characterisation of divergent orthobunyaviruses. Data on plaque morphology, growth kinetics, protein profiles, sensitivity to IFN and activation of the type I IFN system are presented for viruses in the Anopheles A, Anopheles B, Capim, Gamboa, Guama, Minatitlan, Nyando, Tete and Turlock serogroups. These are complemented with complete genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Low activation of IFN by Tete serogroup viruses, which naturally lack an NSs protein, was also further investigated by the development of a reverse genetics system for Batama virus (BMAV). Recombinant viruses with mutations in the virus nucleocapsid protein amino terminus showed higher activation of type I IFN in vitro and data suggests that low levels of IFN are due to lower activation rather than active antagonism. The anti-orthobunyavirus activity of IFN-stimulated genes IFI44, IFITMs and human and ovine BST2 were also studied, revealing that activity varies not only within the orthobunyavirus genus and virus serogroups but also within virus species. Furthermore, there was evidence of active antagonism of the type I IFN response and ISGs by non-NSs viruses. In summary, the results show that pathogenicity in man and antagonism of the type I IFN response in vitro cannot be predicted by the presence, or absence, of an NSs ORF. They also highlight problems in orthobunyavirus classification with discordance between classical antigen based data and phylogenetic analysis.

The fish meat has a particular chemical composition which gives its high nutritional value. However, this food is identified for being highly perishable and this aspect is often named as a barrier to fish consumption. The southwestern Paraná region, parallel to the country's reality, it is characterized by low fish consumption; and one of the strategies aimed at increasing the consumption of this important protein source is encouraging the production of other species besides tilapia. Within this context, it is necessary to know about the meat characteristics. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the technological potential of pacu, grass carp and catfish species. To do so, at first, it was discussed the chemical and biometric assessment under two distinct descriptive statistical methods, of the three species; and it was also evaluated the discriminating capacity of the study. In a second moment, an evaluation of effects done by two different processes of washing (acid and alkaline) regarding the removal of nitrogen compounds, pigments and the emulsifying ability of the proteins contained in the protein base obtained. Finally, in the third phase, it was aimed to realize the methodology optimization in GC-MS for the analysis geosmin and MIB (2-metilisoborneol) compounds that are responsible for taste/smell of soil and mold in freshwater fish. The results showed a high protein and low lipid content for the three species. The comparison between means and medians revealed symmetry only for protein values and biometric measurements. Lipids, when evaluated only by the means, overestimate the levels for all species. Correlations between body measurements and fillet yield had low correlation, regardless of the species analyzed, and the best prediction equation relates the total weight and fillet weight. The biometric variables were the best discriminating among the species. The evaluation of the washings, it was found that the acidic and basic processes were equally (p ≥ 0.05) efficient (p ≤ 0.05) for the removal of nitrogen compounds on the fish pulps. Regarding the extraction of pigments, a removal efficiency was recorded only for the pacu species, the data were assessed by the parameters L *, a *, b *. When evaluated by the total color difference (ΔE) before and after washing for both processes (acid/alkaline) the ΔE proved feasible perceived by naked eye for all species. The catfish was characterized as the fish that presents the clearest meat with the basic washing considered the most effective in removing pigments for this species. Protein bases obtained by alkaline washes have higher emulsifying capacity (p ≤ 0.05) when compared to unwashed and washed in acid process pulps. The methodology applied for the quantification of MIB and geosmin, allowed to establish that the method of extraction and purification of analytes had low recovery and future studies should be developed for identification and quantification of MIB and geosmin on fish samples.

A presença de plantas daninhas em plantios de eucalipto, especialmente nos dois primeiros anos, pode acarretar grandes prejuízos à produtividade, pois reduz a eficiência de aproveitamento dos recursos de crescimento pela cultura. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os efeitos da interferência de plantas daninhas sobre o crescimento inicial de dois clones de Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis e a concentração foliar de nutrientes na cultura e nas plantas daninhas. O experimento foi instalado em esquema fatorial 2 x 5 + 7, sendo dois clones de híbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis, identificados como CNB001 e CNB016, em competição com cinco plantas daninhas Urochloa decumbens (capim-braquiária), Ipomoea nil (corda-de-viola), Commelina diffusa (trapoeraba), Spermacoce latifolia (erva-quente) e Panicum maximum (capim-colonião). Adicionalmente, foram cultivados os dois clones de eucalipto e as cinco plantas daninhas em monocultivo como padrão de comparação, no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Foram avaliados eucalipto através da altura de plantas, o diâmetro do coleto, o número de ramos, a área foliar, a matéria seca e, o teor foliar de nutrientes do eucalipto, bem como o teor de nutrientes nas folhas das plantas daninhas. O clone CNB001 apresentou crescimento inicial superior ao clone CNB016, no entanto, livre da interferência de plantas daninhas, verificaram-se teores foliares semelhantes para a maioria dos nutrientes em ambos os genótipos. O clone CNB016 mostrou maior sensibilidade à interferência negativa das plantas daninhas que o clone CNB001, sendo seu crescimento inicial mais afetado por Ipomoea nil e a concentração de nutrientes reduzida pelas espécies Panicum maximum, Urochloa decumbens e Commelina diffusa. Panicum maximum apresentou maior interferência com o clone CNB001, enquanto Ipomoea nil pouco influenciou o crescimento e o teor de nutrientes deste híbrido. As plantas daninhas apresentaram elevada capacidade de extrair nutrientes do solo, mesmo em convivência com os clones de Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis. A interferência imposta à cultura é dependente da espécie infestante e do genótipo de eucalipto.

Sulfated polysaccharides (PS) are biomolecules with a great biotechnological potential. There are few data about PS from high plants. In addition, pharmacological activities of PS from plants have not been carrying out. The aim of this work was extract PS from the angiosperm Halodule wrightii and study their anticoagulant and antioxidant activities. Histological analysis showed the presence of the PS manly in the roots. A polysaccharide-rich extract was obtained from H. wrightii by proteolysis followed by methanol and TCA precipitation. Chemical, infra-red analysis and agarose gel electrophoresis in 1.3 diaminopropane acetate buffer confirmed the presence of sulfated polysaccharides made by glucose, galactose, xylose and sulfate residues in the proportion 1: 0,9: 1: 1. In addition polyacrilamide electrophoresis have shown that extract is mainly compose by 11kDa sulfated polysaccharides. Pharmacological analysis have shown total antioxidant capacity (CAT) that resulted in 15,21 μg for equivalent of ascorbic acid, scavenging activity of the DPPH radical with 41,36 % of scavenging, activity of reducing power with the maximum of 0,290 nm (50 % of vitamin C activity) and scavenging activity superoxide radical (O2-) with a maximum of 32,23 %. Chelating activity of metal less than 4% and scavenging activity of the radical hydroxyl (OH-) less than 2%. Time of activated partial tromboplastin (aPTT) doubling the time of coagulation from 20μg of and protrombin time (PT) was not present. The data indicate that PS from Halodule wrightii could be considered for future applications in medicine, food production or cosmetic industry

Para identificar as cultivares de capim buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.), melhor adaptadas a regiao semi-arida do Nordeste, foi conduzido um experimento no periodo de 1979/1983, no Campo Experimental de Manejo da Caatinga, do Centro de Pesquisa Agropecuaria do Tropico Semi-Arido (CPATSA-EMBRAPA), localizado em Petrolina, PE. Foram avaliadas treze cultivares de capim buffel, estabelecidas vegetativamente em parcelas de 4 m x 2,5 m. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos ao acaso com cinco repeticoes. Entre as cultivares de porte alto, destacou-se o Molopo com maiores produtividades (6.750 kg de materia seca/ha-ano), relacao colmo/folha e altura (106 cm). Comparativamente, a Biloela, que e atualmente a mais utilizada no CPATSA, apresentou menor altura (97 cm) e produtividade (5.455 kg de materia seca/ha-ano). Entre as cultivares de porte medio, observou-se a Gayndah com menor altura (77 cm) e a F1 Hibrido 171, com menor produtividade (3.745 kg de materia seca/ha-ano). Com relacao ao valor nutritivo, temos a Gayndah (12,43%) e o Molopo (9,51%), com maior e menor teor de proteina bruta, na materia seca, respectivamente.

A adequação do intervalo entre pastejos (IEP) pode aumentar a produção de leite individual ou por área dos sistemas tropicais de produção de leite. O objetivo do ensaio experimental foi avaliar os efeitos de dois IEP sobre a produção individual e composição do leite, taxa de lotação e produção por área de vacas em lactação mantidas em pastagens de capim Elefante. Os tratamentos testados foram: IEP variável, determinado pela entrada dos animais na área a ser pastejada, quando o dossel atingisse 95% de interceptação de luz e o IEP fixo em 27 dias. O delineamento experimental foi o cross-over com quatro repetições. Não foram observados efeitos dos tratamentos (P>0,05) sobre a produção de leite, produção de leite corrigida para 3,5% de gordura (kg de leite/vaca/dia) e para os parâmetros relacionados à composição nutricional do leite (gordura, proteína, lactose e sólidos totais) tanto em porcentagem quanto em produção diária. Houve tendência para maior produção de leite (P=0,12), maior produção de leite corrigida para 3,5% de gordura (P=0,10) e produção (kg/dia) de gordura (P=0,08), lactose (P=0,11) e sólidos totais (P=0,12). A taxa de lotação (vacas/ha e UA/ha) e a produção de leite por área foram maiores (P<0,05) para o intervalo entre pastejos variáveis. Pode-se concluir que o intervalo entre pastejos variáveis possibilitou maior produção de leite na área, entretanto, mais estudos devem ser conduzidos para a avaliação dessa técnica no manejo do pastejo do capim Elefante.

O nitrogênio uréico no leite (NUL), no plasma (NUP) assim como a variação do peso vivo (VPV) e o escore de condição corporal (ECC) são ferramentas importantes para auxiliar o manejo nutricional e alimentar de rebanhos leiteiros. O objetivo do ensaio experimental foi avaliar os efeitos de dois intervalos entre pastejos (IEP) sobre os teores de NUL, NUP, VPV e ECC de vacas em lactação mantidas em pastagens de capim elefante. Os tratamentos testados foram: IEP variável, determinado pela entrada dos animais na área a ser pastejada, quando o dossel atingisse 95% de interceptação de luz e IEP fixo em 27 dias. O delineamento experimental foi o cross-over com quatro repetições. Não foram observados efeitos dos tratamentos (P>0,05) sobre as variáveis analisadas. Entretanto, os dados observados indicaram elevados valores de NUL e NUP enquanto a VPV e o ECC, indicaram a recuperação das vacas lactantes no final do período inicial de lactação. Conclui-se que os diferentes intervalos entre pastejos não influenciaram os teores de NUL, NUP, VPV e ECC de vacas lactantes mantidas em pastagens de capim Elefante.

A caprinocultura na reglao semi-árida do Nordeste se caracteriza pela extensividade e por baixos níveis de produtividade decorrentes, principalmente, da acentuada variação estacional na oferta de forragem da caatinga, a qual constitui sua base alimentar. Existe um consenso quanto a necessidade de suplementar os animais nos períodos críticos, tanto com energia como com proteína. As alternativas atualmente disponíveis, como a palma forrageira (Opuntia ficus indica Mill), os restolhos de cultura, e o capim buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris) sao volumosos de reduzido valor energético e são mais utilizados dentro de um enfoque de sobrevivência dos animais. Os suplementos de maior valor nutritivo são de uso limitado e apresentam problemas de economicidade. As perspectivas de uso da ureia, da leucena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit) e do guandu (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp) na suplementaçao de caprinos no semi-árido, são discutidas com base no seu potencial como fontes de nutrientes e como alternativas adaptáveis às condições agro-ecológicas e sócio-econômicas da região.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a temperatura e a qualidade nutricional de composto orgânico. As pilhas de compostagem foram montadas utilizando-se a biomassa verde de margaridão e mucuna-preta e das folhas secas de coqueiro, andirobeira e capim. Os materiais foram triturados e as pilhas montadas utilizando-se 70 % de biomassa seca e 30 % de biomassa verde. Foi determinado o conteúdo nutricional inicial do material foliar das espécies no início, e das pilhas de composto ao final do processo da compostagem. A temperatura das pilhas de composto foi monitorada a cada 8 dias. O delineamento foi de blocos casualizados com 5 repetições. A biomassa foliar de mucuna-preta e margaridão apresentaram teores significativos de P e K, que contribuíram para uma maior entrada desses elementos ao composto. O composto apresentou boas características nutricionais ao final do período de maturação, aos 107 dias.

O estudo objetivou avaliar uma mistura multipla composta de feno de folhas de leucena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.), raspa de mandioca e uma mistura mineral, como suplemento para novilhos azebuados, no periodo seco. A mistura foi comparada com duas outras alternativas de suplementacao: a mistura sal-ureia e a silagem de leucena. Os animais dos tres grupos pastejaram, conjuntamente, em capim buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris, L.). Ao final dos 84 dias do periodo experimental, o incremento em peso vivo nos animais submetidos a mistura multipla (22,1 kg/cab) nao diferiu (P>0,05) do observado nos animais suplementados com silagem de leucena (17,7 kg/cab), mas correspondeu (P<0,05) a quase cinco vezes o observado nos animais submetidos a mistura sal-ureia (4,6 kg/cab).
