A vigilância entomológica da doença de Chagas em Mambaí e Buritinópolis, no Estado de Goiás, Brasil, tem sido mantida com participação da população, notificando a presença de vetores nas habitações. Passado longo tempo após instituídas as ações de controle e tendo-se já certificado a interrupção da transmissão vetorial, buscou-se avaliar o conhecimento e as práticas da população nessa situação. Os resultados ap...
Two experiments (experiment 1 - conventional feeding and experiment 2 - feeding of the sows, starting at 109 days of pregnancy and during lactation, and the lactating piglets, with rations without soybean meal) were conducted to evaluate the effects of sources of protein (soybean meal-SBM, extruded semi-integral soybean-ESISB, and milk products-MP) on the intestinal morphology of piglets slaughtered at the 0, 5...
The aim of work was to analyze the collagen effect in meat tenderness of animals of different genetic groups produced by very young bullock production system. Male calves Nellore purebred, ½ Nellore x ½ Aberdeen Angus and ½ Nellore x ½ Simmental crossbred were used. After slaughter and cooling for 24 hours Longissimus dorsi samples were removed, between 11th and 13th ribs, one sample was frozen and the others a...
The objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of meat quality in Brazilian yearly cattle. Ninety young male crossbred animals were used. These were products from a crossbreeding between Aberdeen Angus, Canchim and Simental males and Nelore females. The animals were kept in feedlots for 168 days in completely randomized design. Four samples of the longissimus dorsi were collected between the 11ª...
This study aimed to evaluate performance and body characteristics of crossbred calves submitted to recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) and creep-feeding. Sixty-four animals aging 60 days were divided in four groups: T1 (16 heifers rbST), T2 (17 heifers control), T3 (15 steers rbST), T4 (16 steers control). Randomized factorial 2 x 2 design used as “A” sex and “B” rbST. The animals were fed in pasture “ad lib...
The aim of this experiment was to study the nutritive value of two roughages and of dry or ensiled corn grain, fed to crossbred Simmental x Nellore cattle, kept on feedlot. A 2 x 2 factorial (two roughages: corn silage or oat hay and two forms of preserved corn grain: dried or ensiled) was used, in a completely randomized design, with fourteen replicates. The diets were fed ad libitum, in two daily meals (8:00 ...
High moisture corn or sorghum silage on the performance, carcass and meat quality of steers receiving two protein levels were evaluated. Sixty-four steers were used with 293.5 kg as average weight. Experimental design was randomized blocks with 2x2 factorial arrangement: two protein levels (14% or 17%) and two grains (corn or sorghum), adding 4 treatments. Diets contained high moisture corn or sorghum silage, s...
In vivo digestibility of diets with high moisture sorghum substituting corn was studied in 12 female bovines. Experimental design was completely randomized with three treatments, substituting high moisture corn by sorghum at 0, 50 and 100% levels. Diets contained high moisture corn or sorghum, soybean, urea, oat hay (Avena sativa sp.), minerals and monensin. In situ degradability of corn and sorghum in cracking...
