Adaptation of sea turtles to climate warming: Will phenological responses be su...
Fuentes, Mariana; Santos, Armando Jose Barsante; Abreu-Grobois, F. Alberto; Briseño‐Dueñas, R.; Al-Khayat, Jassim; Hamza, Shafeeq; Saliba, SallySea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability to cope with projected increases in ambient temperatures will depend on their capacity to adapt to shifts in climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent to which phenological shifts c...
Assessment of broiler surface temperature variation when exposed to different a...
Nascimento, G. R.; Nääs, I. A.; Pereira, D. F. [UNESP]; Baracho, M. S.; Garcia, R.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T02:55:18Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-01-01; This study was conducted to determine the effect of the air temperature variation on the mean surface temperature (MST) of 7- to 35-day-old broiler chickens using infrared thermometry to estimate MST, and to study surface temperature variation of the wings, head, legs, back and comb as affected by air t...
Combination of stable isotope analysis and chemometrics to discriminate geoclim...
Jiménez-Morillo, N.T.; Palma, V.; Garcia, R.; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Cabrita, M.J.The knowledge of the isotopic composition of virgin olive oil (VOO) allows the evaluation of authenticity and geographical origin, being an important tool against fraud. This study aimed to assess if VOOs produced in three Mediterranean regions could be discriminated on the basis of multivariate statistical analysis of geoclimatic and isotopic data. A total of 138 geo-referenced VOO samples from Portugal, Franc...
Impact of a 25% salt reduction on the microbial load, texture and sensory attri...
Elias, M.; Laranjo, M.; Potes, M.E.; Agulheiro-Santos, A.C.; Fernandes, M.J.; Garcia, R.; Fraqueza, M.J.Catalão is a Portuguese dry-cured traditional sausage, highly appreciated for its distinctive sensory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a 25% salt reduction on Catalão manufactured with either purebred Alentejano (Al) or crossbred Iberian × Duroc (IDr) pork meat, on its physicochemical and microbiological stability, texture parameters, and sensory attributes. No significant effect ...
Effect of regrowth interval and a microbial inoculant on the fermentation profi...
Pereira, O. G.; Garcia, R.; Silva, T. C.; Oliveira, J. S.; Ferreira, C. L. L. F.; Santos, E. M.The objectives of this study were to characterize and quantify the microbial populations in guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq. cultivar Mombasa) harvested at different regrowth intervals (35, 45, 55, and 65 d). The chemical composition and fermentation profile of silages (after 60 d) with or without the addition of a microbial inoculant were also analyzed. Before ensiling, samples of the plants were used for t...
Diets based on sugar cane treated with calcium oxide for lambs
Garcia, R.; Detmann, E.; Carvalho, L. M.; Carvalho, G. G. P.; Pires, A. J. V.; Silva, R. R.; Eustaquio Filho, A.; Ribeiro, L. S. O.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the intake, nutrient apparent digestibility and the effect of total collection days (two and four days) on apparent digestibility estimates for lambs fed diets containing sugar cane treated with calcium oxide (CaO). Eight Santa Inês castrated male lambs with a 16.6±1.8 kg body weight were used. The lambs were distributed in two 4×4 Latin squares, with four experimental ...
Shelf-life extension and quality improvement of a Portuguese traditional ready-...
Laranjo, M.; Potes, M.E.; Gomes, A.; Véstia, J.; Garcia, R.; Fernandes, M.J.; Fraqueza, M.J.; Elias, M.Cabec a de xara is a traditional ready-to-eat meat product (RTEMP) from the Portuguese region of Alentejo. It is a moulded galantine made of low value pork pieces. The aim of this work was to test the addition of vinegar in reducing the spoilage microbiota, as well as controlling Listeria monocytogenes, in order to increase the shelf-life of cabec a de xara. Physicochemical (fatty acids and biogenic amines prof...
Chemical composition and fermentation characteristics of sugar cane silage enri...
Garcia, R.; Oliveira, A. C.; Pires, A. J. V.; Oliveira, H. C.; Almeida, V. V. S.; Silva, R. R.; Nascimento Filho, C. Souza; Abreu Filho, G.O experimento foi desenvolvido para avaliar os efeitos da inclusão de níveis de farelo de mamona destoxificado sobre a composição químico-bromatológica, as características fermentativas e as perdas de matéria seca da silagem de cana-de-açúcar. Os tratamentos consistiam em quatro níveis (0, 7, 14 e 21% da matéria natural) de inclusão do farelo de mamona. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco repeti...
A simulation model for evaluating technical and economic aspects of an industri...
Couto, L.; Silva, M. L.; Leite, H. G.; Garcia, R.; Araujo, G. A. A.; Dube, F.This study analyses the economic aspects of a eucalypt-based agroforestry system established in the savanna region of Brazil. In 1993,eucalypt clones were planted at a spacing of 10 × 4 m, to facilitate their future association with crops and pasture grasses. The results show that the establishment and maintenance costs represent 37% of the total costs associated with the system. More than half of the revenues ...
Draft Genome Sequence of Rhizobium sp. Strain T2.30D-1.1, Isolated from 538.5 M...
Garcia, R.; Martínez, José M.; Leandro, T.; Amils, R.Rhizobium sp. strain T2.30D-1.1 was isolated from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. We report its draft genome, consisting of 60 contigs with a chromosome of ≈4.6 Mb and a plasmid of 179 kb. The annotation revealed 4,526 coding DNA sequences, 45 tRNA genes, and 1 rRNA operon.
