RESUMEN
The aim of the present research was to evaluate bovine muscles to be subjected to freeze-drying for an instant meal. Physicochemical and senescence parameters were evaluated. The experimental part was divided into two steps. In the first step, the Semitendinosus muscle was chosen to establish methodology and experimental conditions. Physicochemical, microstructure and senescence parameters were analysed. In the second step, economic bovine muscles such as Semimembranous and Spinalis dorsi were subjected to the same methodology and conditions as in the first step in order to compare them by analysing the same parameters. L* and a* values were statistically significant (P<0.05) for Semimembranous and Spinalis dorsi muscles, showing differences among condition effects and in muscles. Humidity and water activity showed among the muscles analysed that cooked and rehydrated samples did not exhibit differences. Microstructure of Semitendinosus and Semimembranous were not separated and fragmented as occurred with Spinalis dorsi after freeze-drying. Results allowed us to select among the muscles studied that Semimembranous was suitable and economic to be used in an instant meal.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations of Acute Phase Proteins (APPs) and other blood constituents during the onset of the sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) pathological status. A total of 108 cows from 12 dairy herds were randomly selected and divided into three Groups of 36 animals each. All animals were subjected to a rumenocentesis. Group A was composed by subjects with a rumen pH>5.8, Group B was composed by subjects with a rumen pH ≤5.5≤5.8 and Group C was composed by subjects with a rumen pH<5.5. Blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture and Haptoglobin (Hp), Serum Amyloid A (SAA), Total Proteins, Albumin and White Blood Cells (WBC) were determined. One-way ANOVA showed a statistical significance on Rumen pH, Hp, SAA. SARA seems not stimulate the APPs production from liver.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as variações de Proteínas de Fase Aguda (APPs) e outros constituintes sanguíneos durante o início do status patológico de sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA). O total de 108 vacas de 12 rebanhos leiteiros foram aleatoriamente selecionados e divididos em três grupos com 36 animais cada. Todos os animais foram submetidos a ruminocentesis. O Grupo A foi composto por sujeitos com rumen pH>5.8, o Grupo B foi composto por sujeitos com rumen pH ≤5.5≤5.8 e o Grupo C foi composto por sujeitos com rumen pH<5.5. Amostras sanguíneas foram coletas por punção venosa jugular e Haptoglobin (Hp), Serum Amyloid A (SAA), Proteínas totais, Albumin e células brancas do sangue (WBC) foram determinadas. ANOVA em via única mostrou significância estatística em Rumen pH, Hp, SAA. SARA não parece estimular a produção de APPs pelo fígado.
