RESUMO

Objective: The objective of this work was to determine the energetic values of 14 full-fat deactivated soybeans samples, the effect of partial removal of the hull, and to develop equations for predicting digestible (DE), metabolizable (ME), and ME corrected for nitrogen balance (MEn) for pigs. Methods: Ten metabolism experiments were conducted over a two-year period to evaluate 14 batches of full-fat deactivated soybeans, following the method of the total collection of feces and urine. One hundred and ninety-two pigs with an average initial body weight of 51.4±5.4 kg were assigned to dietary treatments. Results: Partial dehulling of soybeans did not affect DE, ME, and MEn values. The variables that best explained the variations (p<0.05) in DE were ureatic activity (UA) and crude fiber. The variables that showed the greatest association (p<0.05) with ME and MEn were UA, protein solubility, and processing pressure. The observed effect of UA on energy values was quadratic (p<0.05). Phosphorus also showed association (p<0.05) with DE and ME and the energy applied per kg of sample showed association (p<0.05) with ME and MEn. Conclusion: The overall mean values of DE, ME, and MEn were 4,558, 4,457, and 4,344 kcal/kg, respectively. The partial removal of the hull prior to soy deactivation did not affect the digestibility or the energy values. This study shows that the processing conditions are the main factors affecting the energetic value of full-fat deactivated soybeans for pigs, which can be accurately predicted using a combination of chemical composition, quality indicators, and processing parameters.

RESUMO

Grupos psicoterapêuticos encontram crescente receptividade nos serviços públicos e privados de saúde. Eles conjugam a expansão da capacidade de atendimento com atuação clínica crítica e propositiva frente ao individualismo da sociedade contemporânea. É importante assim pensarmos os desafios da formação dos psicólogos para este trabalho. Este artigo parte de uma dificuldade encontrada por estagiários de 4° e 5° ano do curso de psicologia, na condução de um grupo psicoterapêutico. Coloca-se como objetivo analisar a relação entre um pacto denegativo que obstaculiza o processo terapêutico com as experiências iniciais de atendimento dos estagiários. Aspectos vivenciados serão apresentados e debatidos à luz da teoria. Descreve-se a existência de um pacto denegativo neste grupo, que se opõe ao processo terapêutico dos pacientes e complexifica o desenvolvimento dos estagiários ao desafiar a confiança em suas percepções e associações, dificultando a realização de intervenções. Conclui-se que o pacto denegativo que obstaculiza o grupo se apresenta, a princípio, como um desafio aos estagiários, porém, mediante o apoio na relação entre os estagiários e supervisão é possível transformar este desafio em fonte de aprendizado.

Grupos psicoterapéuticos son cada vez más recibidos en los servicios de salud. Combinan la expansión de la capacidad de servicio con una acción clínica crítica y decidida frente al individualismo de la sociedad contemporánea. Es importante pensar en los desafíos de formar psicólogos para este trabajo. Este artículo se basa en una dificultad que enfrentan los pasantes de 4° y 5° año de psicología al momento de conducir un grupo psicoterapéutico. El objetivo es analizar la relación entre un pacto negativo que obstruye el proceso terapéutico y las experiencias de cuidado de los internos. Se debatirán experiencias y la teoría. Se describe la existencia de un pacto negativo, que se opone al proceso terapéutico de los pacientes e intensifica el desafío de los alumnos al desafiar la confianza en sus percepciones y asociaciones, lo que dificulta la realización de intervenciones. Se concluye que el pacto negativo que obstaculiza al grupo se presenta, en un primer momento, como un reto para los aprendices, sin embargo, a través del apoyo en la relación entre los aprendices y la supervisión es posible transformar este reto en una fuente de aprendizaje.

Psychotherapeutic groups are increasingly employed in health services. They combine the expansion of the service capacity with critical and purposeful clinical action in face of the individualism of contemporary society. It is important to think about the challenges of training psychologists for this work. This article is based on a difficulty encountered by 4th and 5th year psychology students, acting as trainees, when conducting a psychotherapeutic group. The objective is to analyze the relationship between a denegative pact that obstructs the therapeutic process and the trainees' initial clinical experience. This text debates aspects of this practice in light of theory. It describes a denegative pact in this group, which opposes the patients' therapeutic process and intensifies the trainees' challenge by challenging the trust in their perceptions and associations, making it more difficult for them to find spaces to intervene. It concludes that the negative pact that hinders the group presents itself, in principle, as a challenge to the trainees, however, through support in the relationship between the trainees and supervision it is possible to transform this challenge into a source of learning.

RESUMO

Hydroelectric power plants often make use of tunnels to redirect the flow of water to the plant power house. Such tunnels are often flooded and can span considerable distances. Periodical inspections of such tunnels are highly desirable since a tunnel collapse will be catastrophic, disrupting the power plant operation. In many cases, the use of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) equipped with mechanical profiling sonars is a suitable and affordable way to gather data to generate 3D mapping of flooded tunnels. In this paper, we study the resolution of 3D tunnel maps generated by one or more mechanical profiling sonars working in tandem, considering synchronization and occlusion problems. The article derives the analytical equations to estimate the sampling of the underwater tunnels using mechanical profiling sonars (scanning sonars). Experiments in a simulated environment using up to four sensors simultaneously are presented. We also report experimental results obtained by a UUV inside a large power plant tunnel, together with a first map of this environment using a single sonar sensor.

RESUMO

The use of robotics in disaster scenarios has become a reality. However, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) needs a robust navigation strategy to face unpredictable environmental forces such as waves, wind, and water current. A starting step toward this goal is to have a programming environment with realistic USV models where designers can assess their control strategies under different degrees of environmental disturbances. This paper presents a simulation environment integrated with robotic middleware which models the forces that act on a USV in a disaster scenario. Results show that these environmental forces affect the USV's trajectories negatively, indicating the need for more research on USV control strategies considering harsh environmental conditions. Evaluation scenarios were presented to highlight specific features of the simulator, including a bridge inspection scenario with fast water current and winds.

RESUMO

Disaster robotics has become a research area in its own right, with several reported cases of successful robot deployment in actual disaster scenarios. Most of these disaster deployments use aerial, ground, or underwater robotic platforms. However, the research involving autonomous boats or Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for Disaster Management (DM) is currently spread across several publications, with varying degrees of depth, and focusing on more than one unmanned vehicle-usually under the umbrella of Unmanned Marine Vessels (UMV). Therefore, the current importance of USVs for the DM process in its different phases is not clear. This paper presents the first comprehensive survey about the applications and roles of USVs for DM, as far as we know. This work demonstrates that there are few current deployments in disaster scenarios, with most of the research in the area focusing on the technological aspects of USV hardware and software, such as Guidance Navigation and Control, and not focusing on their actual importance for DM. Finally, to guide future research, this paper also summarizes our own contributions, the lessons learned, guidelines, and research gaps.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of including grape pomace in the diet of pigs on pork quality and oxidative stability of body fat enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. Four treatments were compared: T1) Control diet based on corn and soybean meal; T2) Diet with inclusion of 3% of a canola (50%) and flaxseed (50%) oil blend; T3) Diet with inclusion of 3% of the oil blend and sequential levels of 3 and 5% of grape pomace; T4) Diet with inclusion of 3% of the oil blend and sequential levels of 6 and 10% of grape pomace. Inclusion of grape pomace in the diet led to an increase (P 0.10) of a* value and color saturation index of meat. The omega-3 and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content of backfat were increased (P>0.10) with dietary inclusion of oils blend. Neither the inclusion of the oil blend, nor the grape pomace had any effect (P>0.10) on the production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the loin samples, despite the higher PUFA content in the fat of pigs fed the oil blend. Antioxidant effect of grape pomace was not possible to prove when measured by TBARS, but the increased redness of the pork from pigs fed with this ingredient suggested a possible antioxidant effect of grape pomace.(AU)

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a inclusão do bagaço de uva na dieta de suínos sobre a qualidade da carne e, a estabilidade oxidativa da gordura corporal enriquecida com ácidos graxos ômega-3. Foram comparados quatro tratamentos: T1 - Dieta controle baseada em milho e farelo de soja; T2 - Dieta com inclusão de 3% de uma mistura de óleos de canola (50%) e de semente de linho (50%); T3 - Dieta com inclusão de 3% da mistura de óleos e níveis sequenciais de 3 e 5% de bagaço de uva e; T4 - Dieta com inclusão de 3% da mistura de óleos e níveis sequenciais de 6 e 10% de bagaço de uva. A inclusão do bagaço de uva na dieta resultou no aumento (P 0,10) do valor de a* e índice de saturação da cor da carne. O conteúdo de ômega-3 e ácidos graxos poli-insaturados (PUFA) do toucinho aumentaram (P 0,10) em função da inclusão da mistura de óleos na dieta. A mistura de óleos e o bagaço de uva não afetaram a produção de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS) nas amostras de lombo, apesar do maior conteúdo de PUFA na gordura dos suínos que receberam a mistura de óleos na dieta. Não foi possível provar efeito antioxidante do bagaço de uva na carne através da determinação dos valores de TBARS. Porém, a cor vermelha mais intensa na carne dos suínos alimentados com este ingrediente sugere um possível efeito antioxidante do bagaço de uva.(AU)

RESUMO

An outstanding feature of poultry production that provides animal protein yield for human feeding is its short production cycle. This characteristic has a linear relationship with waste production. Increasing the inclusion of this residue in diets in the near future is desirable in step with the growth of poultry production since it offers a better environmental and nutritional alternative to current methods. We evaluated the effects on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens produced by the inclusion of poultry offal meal (POM) in their feed. Treatments consisted of a control diet (corn, Zea mays and soybean, Glycine max) and four diets with inclusion of 30, 60, 90 and 120 g kg-1 of POM. The diets were formulated based on the level of digestible amino acid once categorized as isocalcic, isophosphoric, isosodic, isoenergetic and isonutritive for protein, methionine+cystine, lysine and threonine. The feed's electrolytes were corrected so that each diet had the same electrolytic balance. The variables analyzed were feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, body weight, carcass yield, chicken cut yield and abdominal fat. Feed intake was not affected by the quantities of POM added. The weight gain, feed conversion, carcass yield and noble cuts presented quadratic responses to the treatments. Abdominal fat increased linearly. The performance of the poultry, and carcass characteristics were maximized by the inclusion of 53 and 65 g kg-1, respectively, of POM in the diet, and the inclusion of 120 g kg-1 of POM provided greater disposition of abdominal fat.

RESUMO

Um experimento foi realizado para determinar a composição química e os valores de energia metabolizável aparente (EMA) e EMA corrigida para nitrogênio (EMAn) de três tipos de farelo de algodão (FA): FA extrusado, FA com extração por solvente com casca e FA com 40% de proteína bruta (PB); duas variedades de sorgo e farelo residual de milho (FRM). Valores de EMAn do FA e do sorgo da literatura foram usados para estabelecer equações de predição através da composição nutricional. Pintos de corte machos Ross (n=210) foram alojados com seis repetições por tratamento e cinco aves por gaiola. Foi utilizada uma ração-referência (RR) e seis rações-teste contendo os ingredientes a avaliar em substituição de 40 % da RR. A composição química dos ingredientes foi: 92,92; 91,80; 89,08; 86,44; 87,19; 88,50% de matéria seca; 32,96; 35,11; 40,50; 9,83; 8,17 e 10,80% de PB, 17,81; 1,03; 3,59; 2,27; 2,67 e 12,90% de extrato etéreo (EE) e os valores de EMAn foram 2977, 2793, 2827, 2766, 3117 e 3017 kcal/kg para o FA extrusado, FA com casca, FA com 40% PB, sorgo IPA, sorgo Dow e FRM, respectivamente. A equação de EMAn para o FA foi -9158,67 + 1106,94*PB - 12,05*PB*PB - 1866,99*Cinzas (CZ) + 100,16*CZ*CZ - 834,01*Fibra Bruta (FB) + 30,43*FB*FB e para o sorgo foi 4365,59 + 175,41*PB - 10,35*PB*PB - 99,55*EE + 525,34*CZ - 85,06*CZ*CZ - 1310,47*FB + 251,61*FB*FB.

RESUMO

Two experiments were conducted, the first being the digestibility of feed and the second performance in an attempt to evaluate the residue of pineapple bran in diets for Nile tilapia. Eighty animals weighing 63.9 ± 0.79 g in a completely randomized design were used to test the digestibility in order to evaluate the apparent digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, gross energy, digestible energy and digestible protein. In the performance of 240 juveniles were distributed in three ranges of weights: 34.9 ± 0.06, 44.4 ± 0.27 and 55.5 ± 0.10 g, in order to evaluate performance, yield Housing and somatic indices of Nile tilapia. The design was a randomized block with three blocks, with four treatments and five repetitions, rations in both experiments contained four levels of inclusion of pineapple bran residue (0, 5, 10 and 15%). The digestibility of the diets were: dry matter (76.17, 75.42, 75.31 and 75.77%), crude protein (87.90, 90.24, 89.51 and 89.03%) gross energy (79.12, 79.33, 79.07 and 77.48%), digestible energy (3649, 3559, 3560 and 3190 kcal kg-1) and digestible protein (29.28, 30.35, 29.82 and 29.79%), respectively. It was observed the significant effect on the carcass without head, so we recommend the inclusion of up to 10.39% for the inclusion of pineapple bran residue in diets of Nile tilapia.

Foram realizados dois experimentos, sendo o primeiro de digestibilidade das rações e o segundo de desempenho na tentativa de avaliar o farelo do resíduo de abacaxi nas dietas para tilápia do Nilo. Foram utilizados para o ensaio de digestibilidade 80 animais com peso de 63,9 ± 0,79g, em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com o objetivo de avaliar o coeficiente de digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca, proteína bruta, energia bruta, energia digestível e proteína digestível. No experimento de desempenho foram utilizados 240 juvenis, distribuídos em três faixas de pesos: 34,9 ± 0,06; 44,4 ± 0,27 e 55,5 ± 0,10 g, com o objetivo de avaliar desempenho produtivo, rendimento de carcaça e índices somáticos da tilápia do Nilo. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com três blocos, com quatro tratamentos e cinco repetições, As rações em ambos os experimentos continham quatro níveis de inclusão do farelo de resíduo de abacaxi (0, 5, 10 e 15%). Os coeficientes de digestibilidade das rações foram: matéria seca (76,17; 75,42; 75,31 e 75,77%), proteína bruta (87,90; 90,24; 89,51 e 89,03%), energia bruta (79,12; 79,33; 79,07 e 77,48%), energia digestível (3649, 3559, 3560 e 3190 kcal kg-1) e proteína digestível (29,28; 30,35; 29,82 e 29,79%), respectivamente. Foi observado o efeito significativo sobre o rendimento de carcaça sem cabeça, recomenda-se, então, a inclusão de até 10,39% de inclusão do farelo de resíduo de abacaxi nas rações de tilápia do Nilo.

RESUMO

O experimento foi desenvolvido com os objetivos de avaliar os efeitos da proteína concentrada de soja nas dietas de leitões no desempenho e viabilidade econômica durante a fase de creche. Foram avaliados os seguintes tratamentos em dietas pré-inicial (25 a 37 dias de idade), inicial I (37 a 50 dias de idade) e inicial II (50 a 64 dias de idade): FS a base de milho e farelo de soja Hypro; PCS-60% proteína concentrada de soja; PCSH-2h com PCS hidrolisada com enzima protease por um período de 2 horas; PCSH-8h com PCS hidrolisada com enzima protease por um período de 8 horas. No período entre 25-50 dias foi observada diferença significativa para a receita diária (p = 5,1%) e para a margem bruta (p = 2,1%). Os tratamentos PCS-60%, PCSH-2h e PCSH-8h apresentaram os menores valores para receita diária e margem bruta, porém, em ambos os casos, o tratamento PCS-60% não diferiu do FS. A inclusão da PCS60%, PCSH-2h e PCSH-8h em dietas para leitões na fase de creche não influenciou (p > 0,05) o desempenho dos animais e a viabilidade econômica. As três PCS podem ser consideradas como opção de ingredientes proteicos viáveis no ponto de vista de desempenho em dietas para leitões na fase de creche.

The experiment was developed in order to evaluate the effects of soy protein concentrate on performance and economic viability of piglets in nursery phase. We evaluated the following treatments in prestarter diets (25 to 37 days old), initial I (37 to 50 days age) and initial II diets (50 to 64 days old): FS with corn and Hypro soybean meal, PCS-60% with corn and usual soy protein concentrate; PCSH-2h with corn and using PCS hydrolized by protease enzyme during 2 hours; PCSH-8h with corn and using PCS hydrolized by protease enzyme during 8 hours. In the period between 25-50 days were observed differences for the daily gross income (p = 5.1%) and gross margin (p = 2.1%). Treatments PCS-60% and PCSH(2h or 8h) showed the lowest values for daily gross income and gross margin, but in both cases, the PCS-60% treatment did not differ from FS. The inclusion of PCS-60%, and PCSH(2h or 8h) in diets for piglets in total nursery phase did not affect (p > 0.05) animal performance and economic viability. In view of performance the three PCS can be considered viable proteic ingredients in diets for piglets in the nursery phase.

RESUMO

No processo de abate de frangos, partes dos mesmos são descartadas por serem impróprias para o consumo humano. Esses materiais de descarte devem ser encaminhados para um destino que não promova nenhum risco ao meio ambiente e principalmente, que esteja de acordo com a legislação que regula o destino final dos resíduos. No entanto, visando o esgotamento dessas alternativas de descarte, normalmente os resíduos têm sido transformados em subprodutos, a fim de atenuar o problema da falta de matéria prima para rações de aves, proporcionando um melhor aproveitamento dos mesmos até pela própria indústria avícola que não há obstrução do uso de farinhas de origem animal na dieta de não ruminantes pelo mercado interno. No Brasil os primeiros estudos científicos sobre a utilização de subprodutos de abatedouro de aves como fonte de proteína em rações para frangos de corte se iniciaram a partir da década de 1960 e essas informações foram utilizadas por muito tempo para formulação de rações, mas a necessidade de melhorar os rebanhos fomentou a busca pelo aprimoramento nas tecnologias para formulações de dietas precisas. Objetivou-se com este artigo revisar alguns aspectos sobre a composição físico-química, valores de energia e suas variantes, bem sua utilização em rações para frangos de corte.

In the process of slaughtering chickens, parts of them are discarded because are unfit for human consumption. These wastes should be directed to a destination that does not promote any risk to the environment and above all, according with the laws regulating waste disposal. So, the wastes are transformed into byproducts for utilization in the animal nutrition, poultry and swine feeding, but cannot use for ruminant feed, only non-ruminant feeding. In Brazil, the first scientific studies on the use of by-products of poultry slaughter as a protein source in diets for broiler chickens were started in the 1960's, and these results were used for a long time for food formulation, but the need to improve the herds stimulated the search for improvement in technologies for more accurate diet formulations. The objective of this article is to review some aspects of the physic-chemical composition, energy values and their use in diets for broilers.

RESUMO

O objetivo neste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do período de descanso (3, 5, 7 e 9 horas) dos suínos no frigorífico (PDF) e da localização dos suínos na carroceria do caminhão (PBO), quando transportados, no inverno ou verão, sobre alguns parâmetros fisiológicos avaliados em 64 fêmeas, com peso médio de 130kg para abate, durante o manejo pré-abate. Para a análise estatística, foram considerados, no modelo de análise da variância, os efeitos de bloco, PDF, PBO e da interação (bloco x PDF), entre outros. O PDF influenciou, significativamente, as concentrações de lactato no sangue e cortisol na saliva. Suínos que descansaram 5 e 7 horas apresentaram maior concentração de lactato em relação aos animais que descansaram 3 e 9 horas. No transporte, a freqüência cardíaca foi muito maior em relação aos demais locais avaliados. Concluiu-se que o incremento do PDF não promove mudanças na freqüência cardíaca, nas concentrações de glicose e CPK no sangue e cortisol na saliva, mas interfere na concentração de lactato no sangue dos suínos.

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of pig lairage time (PDF=3, 5, 7 and 9 hours) and evaluate the effect of pig position into the truck (PBO) during transportation to slaughterhouse, in winter or summer conditions, on some physiologic parameters evaluated on 64 heavyweight females with mean liveweight of 130kg during pre-slaughter events. The following effects were considered in the statistical analysis of variance model: block (BL=summer farm or winter farm), PDF, PBO and interaction (Block x PDF), under other factors. The PDF influenced significativelly blood lactate and saliva cortisol levels. Pig submitted to 5 and 7 hours of lairage had higher levels of lactate when compared to pigs submitted to 3 and 9 hours of lairage. During transport the heart rate were higher than in other pre-slaughter events. It is concluded that increasing PDF above 3 hours had no effects on heart frequency, glucose and CPK levels and salivary cortisol levels but affects the blood lactate levels.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o tempo de jejum na granja e a posição dos animais na carroceria do caminhão durante o transporte ao abatedouro sobre o status hormonal e fisiológico de suínos de abate pesados visando obter melhorias no manejo pré-abate e reduzir perdas na qualidade de carne. Foram utilizadas 64 fêmeas com peso médio de 133+11kg, oriundas de duas granjas de terminação. Os tempos de jejum avaliados foram nove, 12, 15 e 18h, enquanto que as posições consideradas na carroceria foram box (frente, meio e atrás), piso (inferior e superior) e lado (lateral direita e esquerda). Ao abate, foram medidos os níveis de glicose, lactato e CPK no sangue. A concentração de cortisol na saliva (CCS) foi medida nas granjas (24 horas antes e após embarque) e no abatedouro (logo após o descarregamento e antes do abate). A freqüência cardíaca foi monitorada durante todo o manejo pré-abate. Foi observado o efeito da interação entre TJG e o local de avaliação sobre a CCS e a freqüência cardíaca. A CCS e a freqüência cardíaca aumentaram significativamente da granja ao desembarque no abatedouro em relação ao descanso pré-abate no abatedouro foi observada uma redução (P<0,05) nos valores. A CCS variou em função do TJG e o local de avaliação da seguinte maneira: suínos com 18 horas de jejum apresentaram menor (P<0,05) variação na CCS durante o transcorrer das diferentes etapas do manejo pré-abate do que suínos com TJG menores e, entre estes, os animais com TJG de nove horas apresentaram a maior (P<0,05) variação. Antes do abate, os suínos com TJG de nove horas apresentaram o maior valor (P<0,05) de CCS quando comparados aos outros TJG. Conclui-se que o TJG promove mudanças (P<0,05) nos valores do cortisol na saliva e na freqüência cardíaca no manejo pré-abate, mas não afetam (P>0,05) os níveis de glicose, lactato e CPK no abate dos suínos.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fasting time on the farm (TJG) and the position of the animals on truck compartment during transport to slaughterhouse in the hormonal and physiological status of heavy-weight swine in order to obtain future management improvements and to reduce meat quality downgrades. Sixty-four females obtained from two farms and averaging 133+11kg body weight were used. Fasting time evaluated on farms were 9, 12, 15 and 18 h while the positions considered in the truck were Box (front, middle, and back), Deck (under and upper level) e Side (right and left). Swine blood concentration of glucose, lactate and CPK were evaluated at slaughter. Cortisol concentration on saliva (CCS) was evaluated on the farm (24 hours before uploading and after loading) and at slaughterhouse (after downloading and before slaughter). Hearth frequency was continuously evaluated during pre-slaughter management. Interaction between TJG and moment of salivary cortisol sampling and heart rate data recording were observed. CCS and heart rate values increased from farm to truck downloading at slaughterhouse, while pre-slaughter resting reduced (P<0.05) the values. The CCS values ranged in a gradient fashion in function of TJG and moment of salivary cortisol sampling in the following manner: pigs submitted to 18 hours of fasting showed smallest changes (P<0.05) of CCS during the pre-slaughter management when compared with CCS of pigs submitted to lower fasting times and, between those, the animals with 9 hours of fasting showed the greatest (P<0.05) variations. Before slaughter swine submitted to 9 hours of fasting at farm presented the highest values (P<0.05) of CCS when compared with the other fasting times evaluated. It is concluded that pre-slaughter management conditions affect (P<0.05) the salivary cortisol levels and heart rate but the evaluated TJG had no effects (P>0.05) on glucose, lactate and CPK levels at slaughter time.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do sistema de alojamento sobre o desempenho zootécnico, as características da carcaça, a qualidade da carne e a condição sanitária de suínos criados em seis diferentes sistemas. Foram usados 803 suínos mestiços MS58 x (Landrace x Large White) em sete lotes seqüenciais no tempo, avaliando as fases de creche e de crescimento-terminação. Na creche, foram avaliados três tipos de alojamento: confinado convencional (CO); cama sobreposta-(CS); e sistema intensivo de suínos criados ao ar livre (SISCAL). No crescimento-terminação, foram avaliados apenas dois tipos de alojamento (CO e CS), sendo o último subdividido em três substratos (palha de trigo-PT, casca de arroz-CA e serragem-SE). Para a análise estatística foi considerado no modelo os efeitos de lote, o tratamento (combinação de tipos de alojamento na creche e no crescimento-terminação), idade dos suínos (84, 105, 126, 147 e 160 dias) e a interação tratamento x idade. Suínos alojados no sistema CO apresentaram maior (P<0,05) ganho de peso diário (824 vs. 779g), maior peso de carcaça quente (75 vs. 69kg) e maior espessura de toucinho (18, vs. 17mm) do que os criados sobre cama todavia estes suínos apresentaram peso do conteúdo estomacal significativamente (P<0,05) maior (360 vs. 204g) e menor grau de lesão do estômago do que aqueles alojados em tratamento convencional, embora com maior prevalência de espirro. O sistema de alojamento não afetou os aspectos sanitários avaliados, contudo, suínos alojados em cama sobreposta no crescimento-terminação apresentaram desempenho e características de carcaça inferiores àqueles do sistema convencional, independentemente do sistema de alojamento utilizado na creche.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of housing system on live performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and the sanitary condition of pigs raised in six different systems. A total of 803 MS58 x (Landrace x Large White) hybrid type pigs was used in seven subsequent lots, during the nursery and growing-finishing phases. At the nursery period, the systems evaluated were: conventional (CO), deep litter (CS), and intensive free range (SISCAL), while during the growing-finishing phase only the CO and CS systems were evaluated, being the CS system subdivided into three substrates (wheat straw, rice hulls and wood shaving). The factors considered on the statistical analysis were lot, treatment (combination of housing type used during nursery and growing-finishing phases), age (84, 105, 126, 147 e 160 days), and the interaction treatment x age. A significant effect of housing type was observed on weight gain, carcass characteristics, and weight of heart, liver, full stomach and stomach content. Animals housed on conventional treatment had higher (P<0.05) weight gain (824 vs. 779g), higher hot carcass weight (75 vs. 69kg) and higher fat thickness (18 vs. 17mm) than the ones raised on deep litter, however, these, on the other hand, presented larger (P<0.05) gut content (360 vs. 204g) and less degree of gut lesion than those of the conventional treatment, eventhough with higher sneeze prevalence. The housing system did not influence the health, however pigs housed on deep litter system during the growing-finishing phase presented lower performance and carcass values than the ones housed in the conventional housing system despite the housing system used during the nursery phase.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do tempo de jejum (9, 12, 15 e 18 horas) dos animais na granja (TJG) e da posição na carroceria do caminhão (PBO) durante o transporte da granja ao frigorífico sobre: a perda de peso corporal (PPC), o peso do estômago cheio (PEC) e vazio (PEV), o peso do conteúdo estomacal (PCE) e o escore de lesão na mucosa esofágica-gástrica (ELG). Foram utilizadas 192 fêmeas, com peso vivo médio de 134,51±11,80kg. No modelo, foram considerados os efeitos de bloco (estação do ano, BL), TJG, PBO e da interação entre BL x TJG. Verificou-se efeito significativo do TJG apenas sobre o peso do conteúdo estomacal. Não se observou efeito significativo da PBO sobre qualquer das variáveis avaliadas. Dos suínos avaliados, 90,3 por cento apresentaram PEC menor que 500 gramas e 8,56 por cento com PEC entre 500 e 800 gramas. A prevalência de suíno com ELG foi baixa (14,97 por cento), sendo que, dos animais com ELG, 13,90 por cento apresentaram lesão de grau 1 e 1,09 por cento eram grau dois. Conclui-se que animais submetidos a jejum na granja de 15 horas apresentam menor peso do conteúdo estomacal ao abate.(AU)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fasting time period (9, 12, 15 and 18 hours) at the farm (TJG) and the pig's position in the lorry's livestock compartment (PBO) during the transport from the farm to the processing plant on: body weight loss (PPC), weight of stomach (full= PEC and empty= PEV), weight of stomach contents (PCE), and incidence of gastric ulcer (ELG). A total of 192 females with average 34.51±11.80kg of body weigh were used. The statistical model considered the effects of: block (season, BL), TJG, PBO and the interaction between BL and TJG. There was a significant effect of TJG only on stomach content. There was no effect of PBO on any of the evaluated variables. A PEC inferior to 500g was observed in 90.3 percent of the animals, while 8.56 percent of the pigs presented PEC between 500 and 800g. Incidence of ELG was low (14.97 percent), and among the ELG animals, 13.90 percent showed grade 1 lesion, and 1.09 percent grade two lesion. As a conclusion, pigs submitted to a fasting period of 15 hours have less stomach contents at the processing.(AU)
