13. Spatial variability of enthalpy in rabbit house with and without ridge vent
RESUMO Para que um sistema de produção de coelhos seja rentável, deve-se levar em consideração a raça do coelho, nutrição, manejo, sanidade e, principalmente, ambiente térmico que o animal ficará exposto durante o período produtivo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o ambiente térmico interno em dois galpões de criação de coelhos, sendo u

14. Risks associated to different methods of increasing pregnancy rate of cows in cow-calf systems
ABSTRACT This study assessed the risks of different management practices to increase pregnancy rate in beef cow-calf systems, aiming at assisting decision-making. The perception of 18 experts on animal sciences regarding the risks of 32 nutritional, breeding, and general management practices applied to increase pregnancy rate were evaluated through questionn

15. Research priorities for next-generation breeding of tropical forages in Brazil
Abstract Pasture is the main food source for more than 200 million cattle heads in Brazil. Although Brazilian forage breeding programs have successfully released well-adapted, high-yielding cultivars over the years, the use of genomic tools in these programs is currently limited. These tools are required to tackle the main challenges for tropical forage bree

16. Application of computational fluid dynamics on a study in swine facilities with mechanical ventilation system
ABSTRACT: Ventilation systems used in swine facilities deserve to be studied because they directly affect productivity in the pig farming sector. Bearing this in mind the uniformity of air distribution and temperature is essential to animal welfare in this breeding environment. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify whether changes in air entrances

17. In vivo study of a homeopathic medicine against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in dairy cow
ABSTRACT The tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) (Acari: Ixodidae) causes large economic losses to cattle breeders and its control is hampered by problems of resistance to the main commercial synthetic acaricides and the risk of residues in animal products. Alternative controls are important for the sustainability of cattle breeding i

18. Performance of Commercial Laying Hen Submitted to Different Debeaking Methods
ABSTRACT Among the several factors required in breeding laying hens, debeaking is a factor that interferes with batch performance and affects animal welfare. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate three different debeaking procedures and to verify the best technique to be used. For this, the performance of the birds, the incidence of cannibalism,

19. Differentiation of Toxic and Non-Toxic Leaves of Jatropha curcas L. Genotypes by Leaf Spray Mass Spectrometry
Jatropha curcas L. is an oil crop that has been studied as a potential source of biodiesel. A high protein pie is produced as a byproduct of the biodiesel production, which could be used as animal feed. However, the pie has toxic compounds, as phorbol esters and other toxins, which prevents the use as animal feed. For this reason, Embrapa (Brazilian Agricult

20. Presence of roosters in an alternative egg production system aiming at animal welfare
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the presence of roosters on welfare and egg production of laying hens reared in an alternative system. Two breeding systems were established: barn 1 - laying hens reared without roosters (4500 birds); and barn 2 - laying hens reared with roosters (4500 layers and 250 roosters). In the poultry

21. Determination of Moxidectin in Serum by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Its Application in Pharmacokinetic Study in Lambs
The widespread use of moxidectin (MOX), a parasiticide used in the sheep breeding, has induced the parasite resistance in Brazilian farms. As a consequence, the farmers often increase the dose and frequency of drug utilization, and disregards safety of meat or milk. In order to establish adequate therapeutic treatment it is necessary to know the pharmacokine

22. Value of genomics in breeding objectives for beef cattle
ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to discern the contribution of genomic information to multiple-trait breeding objectives and thus understand the economic value of that information. True genetic values were simulated for each of n, possibly correlated, traits. These true genetic values, combined with uncorrelated random noise, resulted in both gen

23. Blood metabolites as predictors to evaluate the body condition of Neopelma pallescens (Passeriformes: Pipridae) in northeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT Body condition is an important ecological attribute that can provide a measure of the energy stored by an animal or population. Body condition is traditionally ascertained with morphometric body condition indices (BCIs), but some researchers have used various physiological and biochemical parameters as predictors of body condition. This study aimed

24. Determination of thermal comfort zone for early-stage broilers
ABSTRACT Environmental temperatures currently considered within comfort zone for broiler rearing may be misleading or even obsolete from actual values. Some factors such as animal genetics, nutrition and poultry management, mainly acclimatization to tropical and subtropical conditions, influence in determining the comfort zone for birds. This study aimed to
