The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of milking procedures on the levels of total bacterial count (TBC) in bovine milk. In the first study the influences of procedures for hygienic milking, cleaning of milking equipment and milk cooling tanks on the TBC levels were evaluated. Four bulk samples of milk were collected from each tank in eight properties for TBC analysis, employing the flow cytometry method. A questionnaire was applied in each property to assess the current situation of milking procedures on each production system that took part on this research, followed by training of employees in good agricultural practices in the production of milk and monitoring of the TBC measurements. The methodology for analysis of longitudinal data was considered, focusing on random effects models. The results showed that the handling procedures for milking and the cleanliness of the cooling tank contributed to a further reduction in the levels of TBC raw milk cooling tanks. The second study aimed to describe the percentage of the properties that comply with the Normative Instruction Nº 51 (Brazil s IN 51) with regard to total bacterial count (TBC) in bovine milk. The study was conducted from January 2010 to July 2011. Milk samples were collected from the eight properties selected for TBC analysis by the flow cytometry method. Again, on each property a questionnaire was applied to assess the current situation of milking procedures on each production system that took part on this research, followed by training of employees in good agricultural practices in the production of milk and monitoring of the TBC measurements. The methodology of marginal models based on Generalized Estimate Equations (GEEs) was followed in the statistical analysis. The results showed that the handling procedures of the milking and the cleanliness of the cooling tanks contributed to a considerable percentage of the properties that reached the limits of TBC established by IN 51

The direct relationship with the processing, industrial yield and price of milk, the importance of the centesimal composition of milk and their protein fractions has increased for both the dairy industry and for the producers, so it is important to identify the possible causes on variation of these components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the seasons, order of calving and lactation phase on milk composition and protein fractions in dairy farms in the Agreste and Leste meso-regions, of Rio Grande do Norte State (RN). Milk samples were taken in seven milk farms directly from the bulk tanks except for one farm where samples were taken from higher milking cows producers and heifers. The experiment was done in seven properties with milk samples taken directly from the bulk tanks and in one property were collected from higher production cows and heifers. Composition analyses were carried out for both experiments and sensorial trial was performed for the second experiment only. The data results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test performed for 5% significance level. In the first experiment was observed response of the seasons, dry and rainy season; while in the second, the effect of the order of calving and lactation phase had influence on milk composition and protein fractions. There was significant response (p < 0.05) for season effects but due to farms. The rainy season had higher averages in the protein, lactose, total solids and nonfat dry extract. Multiparous cows had higher CCS, NUL and PCAS milk contents; while, first calving heifers showed higher average for the sensory attribute, color of milk. The final third of lactation was responsible for the elevation of the levels of almost all milk components and their protein fractions

The search for new sources of environmentally friendly energy is growing every day. Among these alternative energies, biodiesel is a biofuel that has had prominence in world production. In Brazil, law 11.097, determine that all diesel sold in the country must be made by mixing diesel/biodiesel. The latter called BX, , where X represents the percent volume of biodiesel in the diesel oil, as specified by the ANP. In order to guarantee the quality of biodiesel and its mixtures, the main properties which should be controlled are the thermal and oxidative stability. These properties depend mainly of the chemical composition on the raw materials used to prepare the biodiesel. This dissertation aims to study the overall thermal and oxidative stability of biodiesel derived from cotton seed oil, sunflower oil, palm oil and beef tallow, as well as analyze the properties of the blends made from mineral oil and biodiesel in proportion B10. The main physical-chemical properties of oils and animal fat, their respective B100 and blends were determined. The samples were characterized by infrared and gas chromatography (GC). The study of thermal and oxidative stability were performed by thermogravimetry (TG), pressure differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) and Rancimat. The obtained biodiesel samples are within the specifications established by ANP Resolution number 7/2008. In addition, all the blends and mineral diesel analyzed presented in conformed withthe ANP Regularion specifications number 15/2006. The obtained results from TG curves data indicated that the cotton biodiesel is the more stable combustible. In the kinetic study, we obtained the following order of apparent activation energy for the samples: biodiesel from palm oil > sunflower biodiesel > tallow biodiesel > cotton biodiesel. In terms of the oxidative stability, the two methods studied showed that biodiesel from palm oil is more stable then the tallow. Within the B100 samples studied only the latter were tound to be within the standard required by ANP resolution N° 7. Testing was carried out according to the EN14112. This higher stability its chemical composition

Biodiesel production has increased over the last decade because of the benefits associated with this fuel, including renewability, domestic feedstock, lower toxicity, and biodegradability. From 2008, the use of beef tallow as a feedstock for biodiesel production in Brazil has increased in significance, representing the second largest source of biodiesel, after soybeans. However, the performance of biodiesel in cold weather conditions is worse than diesel because of deposition of insoluble at low temperatures, accelerating the plugging of fuel filters and injectors of the vehicle engine. Studies have been conducted on beef tallow biodiesel, mostly related to the properties of thermal and oxidative stability. However, few studies have described the nature of the precipitate formed and its influence on product quality. Research suggests that the cause of deposition is related to the nature of saturated esters and monoacylglycerols as inducing agents. This study monitored the levels of mono-, diand triacylglycerols, the oxidation stability and the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) in beef tallow biodiesel samples from two commercial producers in Brazil for a period of twelve months. Filtered precipitates were analyzed by comparative techniques of GCFID, HPLC-UV/VIS, HPLC-MS-IT-TOF and TG to verify the nature, using monopalmitin and monostearin as reference standards. The formation of precipitate reduced the levels of monoacylglycerols in the beef tallow biodiesel. GC-FID and LCMS- IT-TOF results confirmed the nature of the deposit as saturated monoacylglycerols, predominantly monostearin and monopalmitin as the second major component. Moreover the TG analysis of the residue indicated similar thermal decomposition of the reference standards. The precipitate did not affect the oxidation stability of beef tallow biodiesel and the CFPP characteristic of blends up B60. However, the presence of iron reduced significantly the oxidation stability of biodiesel

OBJETIVO: Comparar uma malha comercial de poliéster com o pericárdio bovino preservado em glicerina na reconstituição de defeitos da parede abdominal. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados 30 ratos, divididos em dois grupos eqüitativos. Efetuou-se uma excisão retangular de 2,5 x 2 cm, incluindo toda a musculatura abdominal e peritônio. No grupo I a parede abdominal foi reparada com malha de poliéster e no grupo II com pericárdio bovino conservado em glicerina. Os animais foram sacrificados aos 15, 60 e 90 dias de pós-operatório, sendo o local cirúrgico avaliado macroscópica e histologicamente. RESULTADOS: Os animais do grupo I apresentaram aderências mais severas e em maior número quando comparados aos do grupo II; porém, sem comprometimento funcional. A análise histológica revelou incorporação dos tecidos aos implantes, com maior resposta fibroblástica nos animais do grupo I. CONCLUSÃO: A malha de poliéster oferece maior resistência estrutural e resposta fibroblástica mais intensa; contudo, promove grande quantidade de aderências às vísceras abdominais, quando comparada ao pericárdio bovino.

Avaliaram-se farinhas de sangue obtidas pelos métodos de processamento em tambor, convencional e atomização. As farinhas foram submetidas ao processo de extração e fracionamento da proteína para determinação do perfil do tamanho molecular, que foi comparado ao do sangue bovino in natura. Nas amostras, submetidas ou não ao processo de desengorduramento, foram realizadas análises da digestibilidade in vitro da proteína. Para determinação dos coeficientes de digestibilidade dos nutrientes in vivo, foram confeccionadas quatros rações, sendo uma sem farinha de sangue, denominada ração-referência purificada. Para essa etapa, juvenis de tilápia-do-nilo com peso médio inicial de 100,0±5,0 g foram estocados em aquários de 250 L, em delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições e dez peixes/unidade experimental. As rações-teste foram obtidas com a introdução de 30% das farinhas de sangue em estudo. O processamento afetou a estrutura proteica original do sangue in natura em condições de alta temperatura e tempo prolongado, efeito traduzido pela alta proporção de peptídeos de baixo peso molecular e aminoácidos livres, correspondendo a baixos valores de digestibilidade da proteína da farinha de sangue nos testes in vivo e in vitro. A farinha de sangue atomizada e a de tambor são eficientemente utilizadas por tilápias-do-nilo. Na farinha de sangue convencional, a proteína teve valor biológico inferior ao das outras duas farinhas. Na formulação de rações contendo farinha de sangue para tilápias-do-nilo, a isoleucina deve ser considerada o primeiro aminoácido limitante, seguida pela metionina+cistina, arginina e treonina, que foram encontradas em níveis críticos para essa espécie, principalmente na farinha de sangue convencional.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o limiar de detecção da técnica de PCR multiplex fluorescente aliada a eletroforese capilar na detecção de agentes infecciosos em amostras de sêmen experimentalmente contaminadas com concentrações decrescentes das bactérias Brucella abortus, Leptospira interrogans sorovar pomona, Campylobacter fetus e Haemophilus somnus. Amostras de sêmen bovino foram experimentalmente contaminadas com concentrações decrescentes de bactérias obtidas através de diluições seriadas na base 10 de modo a obter-se amostras contendo desde 1 vez até 10-7 bactérias/mL a partir da concentração inicial de Leptospira pomona, Brucella abortus, Campylobacter fetus e Haemophilus somnus. As diluições foram efetuadas individualmente para cada bactéria, bem como nas diferentes concentrações necessárias para a padronização do teste de multiplex PCR. As extrações de DNA de todas as soluções contendo espermatozóides e bactérias analisadas no presente estudo foram realizadas segundo protocolo descrito por Heinemann et al. (2000). Os produtos de PCR multiplex foram avaliados por eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida 8% e separação eletroforética por sistema capilar em equipamento automático de análise de fragmentos de DNA MegaBace. Observou-se a amplificação de fragmentos de 193pb, 330pb, 400pb e 415pb a partir do DNA de B. abortus, L. pomona, H. somnus, C. fetus, respectivamente. Na análise por eletroforese capilar de produtos da PCR multiplex do DNA para detecção simultânea dos quatro patógenos observou-se a sinal de positividade até a diluição de 10-3 bactérias/mL vezes da concentração inicial da solução estoque de cada bactéria. A técnica de PCR multiplex aliada à eletroforese capilar foi usada pela primeira vez para o diagnóstico direto de quatro bactérias patogênicas no sêmen, demonstrando ser um método rápido na detecção de bactérias causadoras de doenças reprodutivas.

Este trabalho teve por finalidade analisar o comportamento de tendões calcâneo bovino submetidos a ensaios mecânicos cíclicos. Para cada corpo de prova foram aplicados três ensaios de dez ciclos de tração e três níveis de deformação: 2,5%, 3% e 4%. Ao término de cada ensaio o tendão era mantido em repouso por 300 s. A velocidade de carregamento adotada foi de 10% do comprimento do corpo de prova, por segundo. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância com delineamento de parcelas subdivididas no tempo e blocos casualizados nas subparcelas. Conclui-se que o pré-tensionamento de tendões realizado através da deformação relativa permanece como parâmetro mais seguro, por atuar dentro dos limites fisiológicos do tendão, evitando os efeitos nocivos do sobretensionamento.

A germinação de sementes pode ser influenciada pela passagem através do trato digestório animal, que, nesse caso, poderá atuar como dispersor, dependendo de como as sementes são afetadas. Quando a passagem pelo trato digestório animal não reduz a capacidade germinativa das sementes, o agente dispersor é considerado legítimo. Este trabalho aborda a influência da ingestão de sementes de Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, Cajanus cajan (L.) Huth e Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. por Bos taurus Linnaeus (1758), sobre sua germinação e viabilidade, com o objetivo de avaliar o gado bovino como legítimo agente dispersor dessas espécies utilizadas como forrageiras. Amostras de sementes foram misturadas ao alimento oferecido a três fêmeas de B. taurus, cujas fezes foram recolhidas até 36 horas após a ingestão e submetidas à triagem para recuperação das sementes, as quais foram testadas para germinação e crescimento inicial. Como controle foram usadas sementes intactas não ingeridas. A porcentagem de recuperação de sementes não danificadas variou de 12,3% até cerca de 17,5%. A ingestão pelos animais afetou severamente a capacidade de germinação das sementes de Cajanus cajan, enquanto que em Calopogonium mucunoides a redução da porcentagem de germinação ocorreu em menor escala em comparação com a primeira. No caso de L. leucocephala, a germinação não foi influenciada pelo tratamento, o que no caso pode estar relacionado a uma maior dureza do tegumento em sementes dessa espécie. em C. mucunoides e L. leucocephala a velocidade de protrusão radicular foi ligeiramente aumentada em sementes tratadas, ao passo que o IVE da primeira foi reduzido. A ingestão também reduziu a taxa de crescimento em altura de plântulas de C. cajan, sendo o efeito menos acentuado em C. mucunoides. em L. leucocephala, a altura média foi maior em plântulas de sementes tratadas. Os resultados sugerem que o gado bovino não pode ser considerado um legítimo dispersor para L. leucocephala, C. mucunoides e C. cajan.
