RESUMO

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of cocoa bran in the diet of lambs and its effect on reproductive parameters. For this, 40 lambs were randomly assigned to four treatments, and including 0, 10, 20 and 30% levels of cocoa bran in the concentrate. Blood was collected to measure cholesterol and testosterone and semen for physical and morphological evaluation; testicular biometry and morphometry were also evaluated. There was significant difference (P < 0.05) in body weight and tubulosomatic index between the lambs in the control treatment and those in the 30% cocoa bran treatment. There was no difference in testicular biometry, physical and morphological parameters of fresh semen, testicular morphometry, and volumetric ratio between lambs in all the treatments (P < 0.05). In addition, there was no difference in plasma cholesterol or testosterone concentration (P > 0.05). Thus, it is possible to include up to 30% of cocoa bran in diet without affecting the reproductive parameters of lambs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To analyze and assess Lee Geropaliative Caring Model according to Fawcett's criteria. METHOD: A theoretical-reflective study about the Geropaliative Caring Model. The analysis resulted in a detailed review of the scope, context and content of a situation-specific theory, in order to determine aspects related to nursing practice and research, and assessment addressed the concrete concepts developed in theory, their significance, internal consistency, parsimony, testability and empirical and pragmatic adequacy in nursing as a discipline. RESULTS: Based on the analysis, a situation-specific theory was used based on the science of care and aimed at caring for older adults undergoing palliation and their families, structured into four fields, namely: (1) aligning care; (2) keeping safe; (3) comforting body/mind/spirit; and (4) facilitating transitions. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The analyzed and assessed theory leads to a structure that includes well-defined, delimited and interrelated concepts, based on the science of care as a grand theory that allowed Geropaliative Care Model derivation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In the Brazilian health system, community health facilities consist of multidisciplinary teams that focus on family health, whereas health centers treat mainly illnesses of registered patients. In the present study we compared socio-economic factors and performance of mammography screening (MS) and clinical breast exam (CBE),  respectively, among women who used both types of public health service centers. METHODS: The present study included 180 women aged ≥40 years, who used different health service centers within the same municipal district. Of all 180 women, 110 (41.1%) and 70 (38.9%) used a health center and a community health facility. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) of variables. RESULTS: Regression modeling indicated that women who used the community health facility, performed annual MS 9.52 (OR= 0.105; 95%CI: 0.03- 0.36) times more often (p <0.001). In this model retirement and gynecological service use ≤ each second year, increased annual MS performance 8.16 (95%CI: 1.55- 54.32) and 7.78 (95%CI: 2.54- 23.79) times (p <0.001; p <0.001). Among 113 (62.8%) women who reported strong fear of MS, the chance of its performance was 35.71 (OR= 0.028; 95%CI: 0.02- 0.32) times decreased (p= 0.05). In a second model use of gynecological service ≤ each second year, increased chance of annual CBE performance 7.92 (95%CI: 3.25- 19.29) times (p <0.001). Women who used the community health facility performed annual and bi-annual CBE 2.90 (OR= 0.345; 95%CI: 0.14- 0.86) and 2.97 (OR= 0.337; 95%CI: 0.12- 0.92) times more often, compared to women who used the health center (p =0.030). CONCLUSIONS: Performance of MS and CBE varied both considerable among women who used different types of health service centers. Gynecological service use, fear and socioeconomic variables, additionally influenced regular performance of MS and CBE.

RESUMO

Salmonella Typhimurium is the most frequent serovar in pigs and causes infections in humans. However, the dosage used for experimentation is not well defined. The present study aimed to evaluate a dosage for oral inoculation with Salmonella Typhimurium to assess immunological and growth performance alterations in pigs. Gilts were randomly allocated into one of three experimental treatments: no Salmonella Typhimurium inoculation (Basal), or oral inoculation of 1 × 108 or 1.5 × 108 colony-forming units of Salmonella Typhimurium. Growth rate, rectal temperature, and fecal Salmonella shedding were recorded. Blood samples were taken. Inoculated pigs shed the bacteria for up to 7 days, but no differences were observed between the groups. No differences were observed in rectal temperature, body weight, or average daily feed intake. However, reductions in average daily gain (-17 and -22%) and feed efficiency (-14 and -20%) were observed in pigs inoculated with 1 × 108 and 1.5 × 108 colony-forming units, respectively. The hemoglobin and hematocrit concentrations increased in challenged pigs compared to Basal pigs. The oral dosage of 1.5 × 108 colony-forming units of Salmonella Typhimurium is suitable for activating the immune system of pigs and assessing the impact of Salmonella on pig performance.

RESUMO

The aimed of this study to assess the productivity and nutritional characteristics of hydroponic corn forage derived from bico de ouro creole seeds and AL-Bandeirante. Two treatments (T), each representing a corn seed variety, were randomly allocated to beds filled with a wood sawdust substrate: T1 (n=5) - bico de ouro creole seed variety, and T2 (n=5) - AL-Bandeirante hybrid seed variety. On the 13th day, forage was collected to assess seedling biometry, green and dry mass production, and bromatological analyses. The data were subjected to statistical analysis, with a 5% significance level. The creole seed variety yielded higher seedling height (17.53 cm), root length (10.19 cm), stem (5.37 cm), leaf (12.17 cm), and greater production of green mass (7.22 kg/m²) and dry matter (2.05kg/m²) (P<0.05). The AL-Bandeirante corn forage had higher dry matter content (39.18%), mineral matter (2.33%), non-fiber carbohydrate (31.88%), and estimated total digestible nutrients (68.14%) (P<0.05), while the creole corn forage had higher organic matter content (99.45%), ethereal extract (19.53%), neutral detergent fiber (45.56%), and cellulose (15.46%) (P<0.05). Crude protein, acid detergent fiber, and lignin were similar between the treatments (P>0.05). Despite the AL-Bandeirante variety yielding a higher concentration of certain nutrients, its forage productivity was significantly low. Therefore, under the conditions of this study, the use of the creole seed variety is recommended.(AU)

O objetivo com este estudo foi avaliar a produtividade e as características nutricionais da forragem hidropônica de milho derivada de sementes de crioulo bico de ouro e AL-Bandeirante. Dois tratamentos (T), cada um representando uma variedade de semente de milho, foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em canteiros preenchidos com substrato de serragem de madeira: T1 (n=5) - variedade de semente crioula bico de ouro e T2 (n=5) - AL-Bandeirante variedade de semente híbrida. No 13º dia foi coletada forragem para avaliação da biometria das plântulas, produção de massa verde e seca e análises bromatológicas. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística, com nível de significância de 5%. A variedade de semente crioula proporcionou maior altura de plântula (17,53 cm), comprimento de raiz (10,19 cm), caule (5,37 cm), folha (12,17 cm) e maior produção de massa verde (7,22 kg/m²) e matéria seca (2,05kg /m²) (P<0,05). A forragem de milho AL-Bandeirante apresentou maior teor de matéria seca (39,18%), matéria mineral (2,33%), carboidrato não fibroso (31,88%) e nutrientes digestíveis totais estimados (68,14%) (P<0,05), enquanto a forragem de milho crioulo apresentou maior teor de matéria orgânica (99,45%), extrato etéreo (19,53%), fibra em detergente neutro (45,56%) e celulose (15,46%) (P<0,05). Proteína bruta, fibra em detergente ácido e lignina foram semelhantes entre os tratamentos (P>0,05). Apesar da variedade AL-Bandeirante apresentar maior concentração de alguns nutrientes, a produtividade de forragem foi significativamente baixa. Portanto, nas condições deste estudo, recomenda-se o uso da variedade crioula de sementes.(AU)

RESUMO

O objetivo com essa revisão foi realizar o levantamento da produção científica disponível e articular saberes a respeito do uso da farmacopuntura associada à protocolos de sincronização de estro principalmente em caprinos e ovinos, como também, em outras espécies de interesse. Ao analisar as pesquisas realizadas nos últimos 10 anos com a utilização de subdoses hormonais associada à farmacopuntura em programas de inseminação artificial em tempo fixo (IATF), nota-se que a farmacopuntura vem se tornando uma ferramenta promissora para viabilizar a redução das doses hormonais administradas e potencializar o efeito do fármaco aplicado, o que eleva a eficiência dos programas de sincronização de estro/ovulação ao reduzir os custos desses protocolos. Além de diminuir o custo desses protocolos para os produtores, nosso grupo de pesquisa realizou uma série de estudos nessa área, visando a busca por protocolos com menores doses hormonais, o que consequentemente reduz a quantidade de resíduos produzidos e promove manejos mais sustentáveis. Baseado nas publicações, pode-se afirmar que a farmacopuntura apresenta resultados satisfatórios e coloca-se como uma via de aplicação de sub-doses ou micro-doses hormonais em protocolos de controle do ciclo estral em caprinos e ovinos, como também, para outras espécies domésticas.(AU)

The objective of this review was to compile information regarding the use of pharmacopuncture associated with estrus synchronization protocols, mainly in goats and sheep, as well as in other species of interest, with the aim of updating and providing information on the subject. When analyzing the research carried out in the last 10 years with the use of hormonal underdoses associated with pharmacopuncture in fixed-time AI programs, these have become a promising tool to enable the reduction of administered hormonal doses and to potentiate the effect of the applied drug, the that increases the efficiency of estrus/ovulation synchronization programs by reducing the costs of these protocols. In addition to reducing the cost of these protocols for producers, our research group carried out a series of studies in this area, aiming at the search for protocols with lower hormonal doses, less waste produced and more sustainable management. Based on the publications, it can be stated that pharmacopuncture presents satisfactory results and is a way of applying sub-doses or micro-doses of hormones in protocols for controlling the estrous cycle in goats and sheep, as well as for other domestic species.(AU)

RESUMO

O objetivo desta revisão foi compilar o que se tem na literatura a respeito do efeito da renovação de diluidor seminal, mediante centrifugação, na qualidade do sêmen refrigerado de caprinos e ovinos e no tempo de viabilidade seminal. Um dos primeiros estudos publicados com essa metodologia foi realizado com sêmen de cão, em 2005, por Verstegen et al., seguido por estudos em outras espécies, como a equina e suína. Nosso grupo de pesquisa desenvolveu alguns estudos com diferentes metodologias para avaliar a eficiência do método, a necessidade do uso da centrífuga refrigerada nesse processo, o uso de antioxidantes no diluidor para renovação e o tempo de renovação do diluidor em pequenos ruminantes.(AU)

The objective of this revision was to compile what exists in literature regarding the effect of seminal diluent renewal, through centrifugation, in the quality of cooled semen of goat and sheep and during seminal viability time. One of the first studies published with this methodology was performed with dog semen in 2005 by Verstegen et al., followed by studies in other species, such as equine and swine. Our research group developed some studies using different methodologies to evaluate method efficiency, the need to use a cooled centrifuge in this process, the use of antioxidants in the diluent for renewal and the diluent renewal time in small ruminants.(AU)
