Abrupt weaning type combined to stress during late pregnancy in sheep present e...
Henrique, F.L.; Titto, C.G.; Titto, E.A.L.; Hooper, H.B.; Pulido-Rodriguez, L.F.; Longo, A.L.S.; Leme-dos-Santos, T.M.L; Pereira, A.M.F; Zanella, A.J.This study investigates the combined effect of the progressive or abrupt weaning after the stress during middle and late pregnancy on performance and development of lambs. Twenty-four male lambs were used, born from 18 Santa Ines ewes that were divided into three experimental groups. Pregnant ewes were submitted to the application of Lipolysaccharides E. coli (LPS) during the 70 th day of pregnancy (Ig; n=12) o...
Heat loss efficiency and HSPs gene expression of Nellore cows in tropical clima...
Hooper, H.B.; Titto, C.G.; Henrique, P.L.; Pulido-Rodriguez, L.F.; Longo, A.L.S.; Leme-dos-Santos, T.M.C; Gonella-Diaza, A.M.; Pereira, A.M.FAdaptation is a relevant characteristic to be understood in livestock animals in order to maintain and raise productivity. In Brazil, the Nellore beef cattle are widely disseminated and well-adapted breed that present good thermoregulatory characteristics for tropical environment conditions. Conversely, the physiological and cellular mechanisms required for thermoregulation and thermotolerance in this breed are...
Thermoregulatory response in hair sheep and shorn wool sheep
Titto, C.G.; Veríssimo, C.J.; Pereira, A.M.F.; Geraldo, A.M.; Katiki, L.M.; Titto, E.A.L.This study’s main goal was to evaluate the thermoregulatory responses velocity through the variation of rectal temperature (RT), related to the thermolytic pathways, respiratory rate (RR) and sweating rate (SR) among different sheep breeds. Ninety female sheep, eighteen of each breed: Santa Ines and Morada Nova (Brazilian hair breeds), Texel, Suffolk and Ile de France (wool breeds) were challenged during three ...
Effect of artificial shading on performance and reproductive parameters of semi...
Chiquitelli Neto, M.; Titto, C.G.; Titto, E.A.L.; Costa e Silva, T.S.; Puoli Filho, J.N.P; Leme, T.M.; Henrique, F.L.; Pereira, A.M.F.Thirty Brangus bulls were used in a 90-d study to assess the effect of artificial shading on the performance and reproductive characteristics of semi-confined cattle. Animals were kept in four one-ha paddocks in two groups of eight for shade treatment (5 m²/animal of 80% solar block shade cloth) and two groups of seven animals in no-shade treatment. Each treatment had two homogeneous groups, each divided into h...
Evaluation of reactivity of horses in the presence of unknown stimulus
Calviello, R.F.; Titto, C.G.; Titto, E.A.L.; Infante, P.; Leme, T.M.; Pereira, A.M.F.The study aimed to evaluate reactivity of horses during usual brushing management against the repeated presence of an unknown sonorous stimulus. Twenty Mangalarga Marchador horses, distributed in different categories (mares and foals), were evaluated. The animals were allocated into the control treatment (N = 10) and the treatment with unknown sonorous stimulus (N = 10) from a rattle and a tambourine. Four cons...
Heat stress and ACTH administration on cortisol and insulin-like growth factor ...
Titto, C.G.; Negrão, J.A.; Titto, E.A.L.; Canaes, T.S.; Titto, R.M.; Leme-dos-Santos, T.M.; Henrique, F.L.; Pereira, A.M.F.Physiological and productive responses were studied in five Holstein cows in thermal comfort (T1), stress by exogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) administration (T2) and heat stress (T3) to compare acute and punctual stress (ACTH) and prolonged stress (heat stress). During T1 and T2, cows were housed in a climatic-free stall barn. In T3, the animals were kept in a climatic room (air temperature of 37°C ...
Application of thermolysis capacity test for Santa Inês, Dorper and White merin...
Leme dos Santos, T.M.; Amadeu, C.C.; Geraldo, A.C.M.; Titto, C.G.; Pereira, A.M.F.; Titto, E.A.L.The results show that hair breed of tropical origin is affected by sun exposure. However, sheep are able to return to the initial physiological state very quickly showing differents degrees of resistance to thermal variances
Suplementação com Cromo, reactividade e níveis de cortisol, glucose e insulin e...
Leme, M.; Titto, C.G.; Titto, E.A.L.; Geraldo, A.C.M.; Calviello, R.F.; Silva, S.L.; Pereira, A.M.F.O estudo foi desenvolvido para investigar os efeitos da suplementação dietética de cromo sobre os indicadores de bem-estar de ovinos confinados. Sessenta e quatro cordeiros cruzados White Dorper x Santa Inês, desmamados aos sessenta dias de idade, foram divididos em dois grupos para terminação, por sessenta dias, em confinamento: grupo controle e grupo que recebeu suplementação de 2 mg cromo orgânico diariament...
Effect of mineral mixture on behavior patterns of Portuguese native heifers dur...
Prates, L.; Dias, T.; Castro, J.; Geraldo, A.C.M.; Titto, C.G.; Titto, E.A.L.; Infante, P.; Quintiliano, M.; Pereira, A.M.F.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with protein enriched mineral salt in behavior and productive performance of heifers of native breeds during the Spring and Summer in a Mediterranean climate. The study was conducted between April and August, during 150 days. Two homogeneous groups of heifers (± 8 months of age) were formed and assigned in two treatments: without mineral salt (...
91-days-old piglets recognize and remember an old aversive handling
Sommavilla, R.F.; Titto, E.A.L.; Hotzel, M.J.; Titto, C.G.; Rodrigues, L.; Leme, T.M.; Sampaio, A.; Pereira, A.M.F.The aim of this study was to perceive if piglets can recognize their aversive handling and if they can remember this aversive handling after three weeks with no contact with this person. For this, 16 piglets received an aversive treatment during their first 70 days of life: between day 1 and 28 this treatment was applied daily and, from day 29 to day 70, during alternate days. This aversive treatment was made b...
